Usage of "severely"
I have trouble using "severely" in sentences. I know how to use the adjective form of the word.
(1) He had a severe hair loss last week.
(2) I incurred a severe financial loss by making bad investments.
I don't think it's correct to use the adverb form to rewrite them.
(3) He lost his hair severely last week.
(4) I lost money severely by making bad investments.
Do you think "severely" sounds odd in (3) and (4)? Thanks a lot.
