Remark We use adverbs to add more information about a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a clause or a whole sentence. In the test sentence ‘She ran ______ .’ we add more information about the verb ‘ran’.Adverbs have many different meanings and functions. They are especially important for indicating the time (when), manner (the way something happens or is done, how something happens), place (where), degree (how) and frequency (how often) of something.In the test we are given four variants: ‘quickful’, ‘quicky’, ‘quick’ and ‘quickly’ that have the same root morpheme ‘quick’ that means ‘fast’. ‘She ran (how? – with great speed), therefore, we are to change the adjective ‘quick’ into the adverb of manner that is usually placed either after the main verb or after the object. In the test sentence it is after the main verb.Adverbs of manner are often formed from adjectives by adding -ly: bad – badly, brave -bravely, sudden – suddenly. Thus, we need to add –ly to the adjective ‘quick’: ‘quick’ → ‘quickly’.Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 4: quickly.
