The adverbs are "quickly", "past", "slowly", and "forward"
Explanation:
And adverb is "a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb". They answer several questions:
How?
- quietly, loudly, gracefully, joyfully, etc.Where?
- above, far, back, here, inside, etc.When?
- tomorrow, now, then, last year, etc.How much (to what extent)?
- quite, fairly, barely, too, etc.How often?
- always, sometimes, rarely, seldom, etc
In your sentence, "quickly" and "slowly" tell how; "past" tells when, and "forward" tells where.
