عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say 'run swift' in everyday English. In modern standard English, people usually say 'run fast' or 'run swiftly', not 'run swift', except in poetic style. Also, 'swift' is mainly an adjective; use 'swiftly' as the adverb, as in 'She moved swiftly across the room.'

عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use only 'fast' before these nouns (e.g. 'fast action', 'fast response'). While not always wrong, 'swift action/response' is more standard and common in written and formal English. Also, do not use 'swift' as an adverb (*'They answered swift'); use 'swiftly' or 'quickly' instead.
