Best Answer

Badly' is an adverb. An adverb describes how something is done: 'She handled the news badly'. 'Bad' on the other hand, is most familiar to one as an adjective, but what stymies one sometimes is that it can also be an adverb. If one is in doubt, he/she should replace badly with 'poorly' and think if the use of 'poor' would be appropriate.

'Bad' is used as an adjective to describe a noun, while 'badly' is an adverb used to describe a verb. For example, you would say "He is a bad driver" (adjective) and "He drives badly" (adverb).
