What would an adjective to an adjective be called? [closed]

In the sentence "The very fast dog ran outside.", the words are article (adjective?) adjective noun verb adverb.

Would it be correct to say "very" in that sentence is also an adjective word? Or would that not count as an adjective, since "very" is not an attribute to "dog" but to "fast"?


Very is only an adjective when it modifies a noun, as in "Those were my very words" or "Let's start from the very beginning."

In all other cases, it is an adverb.
