[someone] [verb] furiously
Kosa la kawaida:
Learners sometimes confuse 'furiously' with 'fast' only, and forget that the main meaning is about strong anger. Another common mistake is using the adjective form '*he was furiously*' instead of 'he was furious' when describing a state rather than an action.
