| "He hurt me badly" means "he tried to hurt me, but wasn't very good at it". |

| MrTrilby, no, it means that he hurt me in such a way that I have scars and bruises on my body. |

| Well, what does 'badly' mean here, 'poorly,' 'extensively,' 'severely,' etc.? |

| It has to be Badly because Word Perfect says 'Normally an adjective like bad doesn't modify a verb.' |

| Badly, based on the fact that you could rearrange the sentence into the passive form 'I was badly hurt by him'. |
