adjective is always before nouns and adverb is after verbs. besides, there are some verbs link with adjective such as "make, taste, smell, seem, feel…". And, "something, anyone, no one…" are before adjective.

"Well-known" functions as an adjective, but it's an adverb (well + known).

"You look good today" – good describes you, rather than look, so it's an adjective.

Thank you for this lesson :)
I thing i got the pattern but still not sure…
On the top of your lesson under highlighted word "Adverbs" you wrote a sentence "A well-known book". Later, in one of your answers (to Kay) you responded that it's adjective…

And another question:
in sentence " you look good today! " we say 'good' is adjective because it has to do will one of the senses (words like feel, look, taste, see,)?

There isn't. "Well-known" functions as an adjective in this phrase.

You can use "beautiful" to describe many things: looks (for a woman), appearance, a song, a voice, a view, a story…
