ADVERB
An adverb is the grammatical part of speech for words that modify or describe verbs (for example 'she ran quickly').
Most adverbs are formed from adjectives or past participles by adding -ly (quick: quickly) or -ally (automatic: automatically).
Sometimes adverbs are formed by adding -wise (likewise and clockwise, as in 'moving clockwise'; in 'a clockwise direction', clockwise is an adjective).
Some adverbs have a distinct form from their partnering adjective; for example, good/well ('it was good work; they did it well').
Others do not derive from adjectives (very, in 'very nice'; tomorrow, in 'I'll do it tomorrow'), and some are unadapted adjectives (pretty, as in 'It's pretty good').
Sentence adverbs modify whole sentences or phrases: 'Generally, it rains a lot here'; 'Usually, the town is busy at this time of year.
' Sometimes there is controversy in such matters.
Hopefully is universally accepted in sentences like 'He looked at them hopefully' ('He looked at them full of hope'), but some people dislike it in 'Hopefully, we'll see you again next year' ('We hope that we'll see you again next year').

Adverb
An adverb is a part of speech. It is any word that modifies any other part of language: verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs, except for nouns; modifiers of nouns are primarily determiners and adjectives.
Adverbs typically answer such questions as how?, when?, where?, to what extent?, in what kind? or how often? This function is called the adverbial function, and is realized not just by single words (i.e., adverbs) but by adverbial phrases and adverbial clauses. Adverbs also describe adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs.
