what the difference from a adverbal and a verb phrase?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In grammar an adverbial is a word (an adverb) or a group of words (an adverbial phrase or an adverbial clause) that modifies or tells us something about the sentence or the verb. The word adverbial is also used as an adjective, meaning "having the same function as an adverb". Look at the examples below: Danny speaks FLUENTLY. (telling us more about the verb) Now, In linguistics, a verb phrase is a syntactic unit composed of at least one verb and the dependents of that verb – objects, complements and other modifiers, but not including the subject. Example below: Mary SAW THE MAN THROUGH THE WINDOW. David GAVE MARY A BOOK. Does this make sense?
