Best Answer

He is a quick learner, "quick" is an adjective describing the noun "learner", but in

His mean response cut me to the quick, "quick" is used as a noun.

In the sentence Quick! Quick! You'll miss the faceoff!the imperative command.

"Come quickly" is implied/understood, and thus the word "quick" would be used

as an adverb describing the verb "come".
