when we use adverbe instead of adjective I still get confused about when I should use an adverb and when I sould use an adj. for example the verb なる is followed by an adverb while in english to become is followed by an adj ( I think so). ex english : I became happy 日本語幸せになった is なるalways followed by an adv? are there other verbs like なる? is there any rule can help me?

Yes, that's right. なる　can be used with adverbs e.g. 詳しくなる.　大きくなる And also it can be used with nouns in the form of noun+に+なる , e.g. 先生になる, same pattern in English. Yeah, it's different from English in term of adverb vs adjective, but In fact, I guess we can also ask "why in English we don't use adverbs after 'become'", e.g. He became happily. instead , we just say : "He began to live happily". :) Hope it helps
