I know a adjective descibes a noun and a adverb a verb, adjective or adverb but with this review I have trouble with the sentance.

Let's just take the first sentence. And be sure to keep in mind that not every verb has an adverb and not every noun has an adjective.

The - article
test - noun
of - preposition
wills - noun
between - preposition
Jack Byrnes - noun
and -conjunction
Greg Focker - noun
escalates - verb
to - preposition
new - ADJECTIVE
heights. - noun

Now you take the second sentence and let me know what you come up with.
