 Which of the following is the proper grammar usage? 1. The firefighters ran as quick as possible.
2. The firefighters ran as swift as possible.
3. The firefighters ran as quickly as possible.
1..2...or 3? Which one is correct? Only one answer can be correct.

Re: Which of the following is the proper grammar usage? 3 is the right answer
1 and 2 share the same problem- you must add the -ly on the end of the adverb because it agrees with the way the sentence is phrased.

Re: Which of the following is the proper grammar usage? "quick" and "swift" are adjectives; that is, they describe a noun (a quick rabbit, a swift bird, etc.)
"quickly" is an adverb, which describes a verb (he ran quickly, she swam quickly)
Therefore, 3 is correct, as in 1 & 2, "quick" and "swift" describe the verb "ran"; so grammatically, an adverb is needed (quickly or swiftly).
Best of luck!

Re: Which of the following is the proper grammar usage? Because you are describing the verb RAN, you need an adverb. Which of the following is an ADVERB:
quick
swift
swiftly
Pick the adverb and you have your answer.
