rapidly vs fast
'Fast' is both adjective and adverb for speed: 'He runs fast'. 'Rapidly' is more formal and used for change over time. Do not say 'He runs rapidly' in conversation.
'Fast' गति के लिए adjective और adverb दोनों है: 'He runs fast'; 'rapidly' अधिक formal है और समय के साथ बदलाव के लिए आता है।
- Prices rose rapidly, but the train moved fast.
position of the adverb
It can stand after the verb, before the verb for emphasis, or at the end of the clause. Not between a verb and its direct object.
यह क्रिया के बाद, बल देने के लिए क्रिया से पहले, या clause के अंत में आ सकता है; verb और उसके direct object के बीच नहीं।
