What's the difference between "quickly" and "in a hurry" ? What's the difference between "quickly" and "in a hurry" ? I saw the sentence below. We entered the hall quickly. If I use this sentence "we entered the hall in a hurry.", does the meaning of the sentence change or not change ?

It does not. " we entered the hall quickly" & "we entered the hall in a hurry" mean the same thing in sense of time. In the sense of purpose, it does not. "In a hurry" implies you are late for something. Where quickly just implies you did it in a fast way. I hope this helps.
