Badly is an adverb of the word feel so that is the correct word to use. Remember the old rule? LY words are adverbs. They describe verb words.

  • She is lovely.
  • My mother feels lonely.
  • What made my cat so sickly?

The word bad describes the state of something or someone being a bad person or thing.

  • Jon is a bad boy because he does not like his new home.
  • He is not always bad, but his parents moved from Hawaii to Minnesota.

'feel badly' or 'feel bad'?

You should say "feel bad" if you are talking about feeling sad, remorseful, or physically unwell--where "bad" refers to your state. Feel is a linking verb in this context, and is used with the predicate adjective bad rather than the adverb badly. The only sense in which "feel badly" is correct is if you are using feel as an action verb. For example, if you have nerve damage and have lost most sensation in your fingers, you probably feel badly (just as you would probably play the piano badly in that condition).

In grammar what is the correct usage of the word 'bad' versus 'badly'?

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.


You feel bad or you feel badly?

I feel bad is correct. In this case, "bad" is what is known as a "predicate adjective". Predicate adjectives follow certain types of verbs such as: seem, appear, look (he looks bad), sound, feel (there are others) The easiest way to know whether to use bad or badly is to try substituting another adjective: Would you say: My dog died today; I feel really sadly? You must have worked a long day, you look terribly?
