Examples & Explanations
Let's start with a 'verb'
A verb is a doing or being word, like eat, go, like, think, run, be or have.
And an 'adverb'?
Simply, it gives more information on the verb and how we do something. We can eat quickly, slowly, carefully, noisily –
and these are all adverbs.
Badly is about QUALITY
It's badly made.
You sang that really badly.
I badly need to go to the supermarket, I have no food! => I really need to go…
Quickly is about SPEED
She runs quickly.
You finished quickly.

He stopped suddenly.
Suddenly, he stopped.
He suddenly stopped.
WHAT??????
Suddenly can be moved around but the meaning and the way we use it can change a little:
He stopped suddenly, when the dog ran in front of his car.
Suddenly, he stopped. He looked at his friend, and said: 'Do you know where we are?'
He suddenly stopped texting me, and I don’t know why!
Look out!
LOOK OUT! Watch WHERE you put the adverb in the sentence as it changes the meaning.
I badly want [something] / I want it badly.
I ran quickly and beat my record / I quickly ran and told him to stop.
The bus stopped suddenly, and everyone fell over / I heard a noise, and suddenly I stopped / Suddenly, there was a loud noise!
Everyone screamed!
Don't forget!
Quickly, badly and suddenly are adverbs.
They tell us more about a verb (a doing or being word).
Quickly is used for speed and means fast.
Suddenly is used for speed and means NOW.
Badly is used for quality and for something we didn't do well.
Did you know?
Do you like eating? Did you know eating competitions are a thing? People have to eat very quickly to see much they can
eat in a given time period! If someone vomits, the competition ends very suddenly for them as they cannot continue.
Sometimes the competitions can end badly as people can get very sick or even die from eating so much so quickly..
