What does "It was important to him to be appropriately dressed for every occasion"
Why do we use an adverb after "to be"?
As I know we don't use an adverb after "to be" but use only adjective mean?

@cafyigetru твои знания неверны. после глагола to be без каких-либо проблем может использоваться наречие, дело лишь в том, что оно, как правило, относится к одному из последующих слов, а не к самому глаголу be
My phone is fully charged.
Мой телефон полностью заряжен.
I was totally fooled.
Меня определенно одурачили.
She was barely dead that night.
Она едва не умерла той ночью.

The adverb modifies the word after it.
- “She is appropriately dressed.” =
She is dressed appropriately
- “His room is nicely decorated.” =
His room is decorated nicely.
- “We were quickly seated.” =
We were seated quickly.
You could choose either version of the sentence and be correct.
