Is this sentence correct

Question

The chief crept rapidly

Answer 1

Yes, the sentence "The chief crept rapidly" is grammatically correct. However, the use of "crept" (which implies a slow, stealthy movement) along with "rapidly" (which denotes speed) may seem contradictory. If you're aiming for clarity or a more precise description of movement, you might consider adjusting one of the words. For example, you could say "The chief crept quickly" to maintain the stealthy nuance while indicating speed, or simply "The chief ran rapidly" if you want to emphasize speed without the stealth.
