En español puedes formar adverbios agregando el sufijo -mente, más o menos como en inglés funciona el sufijo -ly:
rápido - rápidamente
quick - quickly
Gramaticalmente, lo correcto es decir:
Camino rápidamente (because it is an adverb).
Pero la Real Academia Española admite en algunos casos omitir el uso del sufijo -mente.
Así, también puedes decir:
Camino rápido.
o
Camino rápidamente.
An adjective modifies or describes a noun.
An adverb can modify or describe a verb.
Therefore as an example using the words quick (adjective) and quickly (adverb).
The quick boy - Here the adjective quick, is describing the boy which is a noun.
The boy runs quickly - Here the adverb quickly, is decribing how the boy "runs", which is a verb.
Oh, because yo estuvé hablando con mi amigo Cecilaia y cúando yo le dije, "yo camino rápidamente a escuela", she didn't understand. Or maybe it's just one of those little cutural changes? Like different dialects between different países?
Often times when I go out to eat and am asked what I want to drink, I'll always respond by saying "Solo te" (Just tea). Should I be using the word solamente instead?
"Sola" is the feminine form of "Alone."
Solamente = Only Sólo = Only
(You can use both -sólo, solamente- at any time)
