drive safe or drive safely?
drive safe/safely
drive slow/slowly
go quick/quickly
This is a confusing part for me. Some adjectives in English are able to be used as adverbs as well.
So what's the difference between the adverb form with "ly" and without "ly"?
Are they interchangeable?

In each sentence, the one with "-ly" is proper grammar.
"Drive safely."
"Drive slowly."
"Go quickly."
These are all correct. If you want to use proper grammar, you should say these.
However...
"Drive safe."
"Drive slow."
"Go quick."
These are not technically correct, but sometimes English speakers who are speaking very casually will say them, because the meaning is usually understood.
Basically, you can say any of these phrases and people will probably understand. If you want to use proper grammar though, you should use "-ly."
