Quietly

Quitetly, she's reading this story.
Quitetly, She read this story.
Quitetly, she has been reading the story.

Which one of them is correct?
  

Top answer

None are correct. Quietly is spelled wrong, and "she" should not be capitalized in the second sentence. The position of the adverb is awkward and unnatural.

I saw a sentence written like that "quietly, she tiptoed to the door"
I mean is it correct to say "Quietly, she's tiptoeing to the door"
And is it correct to use any tenses depending on what I want to say?

Quietly, she tiptoed to the door.

The more common word orders are:

She tiptoed to the door quietly.
She quietly tiptoed to the door.

When "quietly" is placed first, the writer adds extra drama and suspense to the story. The verb "tiptoe" intrinsically has the meaning of "quietly."
The adverb can be used with any verb tense. (Most adverbs of manner can.)
