✔ 最佳答案
Both of your examples are adverbs of degree. They both express a measure or intensity.Your second example more appropriately uses "greatly" not to tell us how (as in manner) he appreciated your assistance, but more to tell us how MUCH he appreciated your assistance.
Greatly, as far as I am aware, is always used as an adverb of degree.
