Monkey is random testing, u dont know abt the application u
r learnin it.

Ad-hoc is informal testing where u know abt the application
well in hand. You are doing random testing before you
actually begin with the intensive testing.

Definition(s):
Ad-hoc testing : A testing phase where the tester tries to
'break' the system by randomly trying the system's
functionality. Can include negative testing as well.

Monkey Testing : Testing a system or an Application on the
fly, i.e just few tests here and there to ensure the system
or an application does not crash out.
