quickly
Hi,
1.When 'quickly' means 'fast in speed', could we put it before a verb as in
"We'll have to quickly walk to get there on time."?
2.When 'quickly' means 'soon', sould we put it before or after a verb? e.g.
"Could you quickly come?"
or
"Could you come quickly?"
Thanks

Place it after the verb in both cases. The general practice is to place adverbs of frequency (usually, always, ...) before the verb, other adverbs (quickly, briskly, soon, here, ...) after the verb. The position is not absolutely fixed, but it is usually observed.
