Adverbs answer both questions. in fact, it even answers "where".

Adverb of Manner (stronger, faster, etc) = answers "how"
Adverb of Time (today, yesterday) = answers "when"
Adver of Place (above, below) = answers "where"

A word that answers to how is an adverb and a word that answers to when is a time expression.
