short

shortly">shortly briefly">briefly1. 'short'

Short is an adjective. You usually use it to say that something does not last for a long time.

Let's take a short break.She made a short speech.2. 'shortly'

Shortly is an adverb. If something is going to happen shortly, it is going to happen soon. This is a slightly old-fashioned use.

They should be returning shortly.

If something happened shortly after something else, it happened soon after it.

She died shortly afterwards.Very shortly after I started my job, I got promoted.3. 'briefly'

Don't use 'shortly' to say that something lasts or is done for a short time. Don't say, for example, 'She told them shortly what had happened'. Use briefly.

She told them briefly what had happened.
