An adverb is a word that modifies/gives us more information about a verb.

So, in the sentence: "Tom answered his teacher's question". "answered" is the verb (a doing or being word). But if we wrote: "Tom hesitantly answered his teacher's question" or "Tom proudly answered his teacher's question" or "Tom correctly answered his teacher's question" then hesitantly, proudly & correctly are all adverbs because they are giving more information about how he answered.
