在口语中，一般多用quick(尤其在需要用比较级或最高级时)，并且总是放在动词之后；若放在动词之前，一般用quickly。quick与quickly在用作副词时，几乎没有区别。但是注意在用比较级，quick的比较级是quicker，但quickly比较级是more quickly。
如：
Come quick(ly). There’s been an accident. 快来，出事故了。
You get there quicker by bus. 你坐汽车去那儿会快一些。
He quickly changed his clothes. 他迅速地换了衣服。
The evening passed quickly. 晚上很快过去了。

I was wondering how to get there quickly. 我想知道怎么能很快地到达那里。
He quickly availed himself of the opportunity. 他很快利用了这个机会。
