In formal writing, never use 'real bad' or 'real quick.' 'Bad' and 'quick' are adjectives, which are modified by adverbs. The word 'real' is not an adverb.

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.
