For completeness, a 3rd rule, if the right most word is a conjunction, the expression will be an adverb.

Exeptions: if the 2nd righmost word is a conjunction, then the 2 words together make/are an adverb If the rightmost word or pair of words are an adverb, then if all the other words resolve to adverbs (ie conjunction verb/noun pairs count as an adverb), then the whole expression is an adverb.
