Hi,

What happens when we have two adverbs in the following:

"She drove extremely quickly"

"She did not drive particularly quickly"

"She drove particularly quickly"

Strictly speaking, am i correct in using quickly instead of quick?

Thanks

Hello Anon,

Yes, "quickly" is the usual form, in a sentence like that, in standard English.

(Your first adverb qualifies your second adverb.)

Best wishes,
