2. If 'more slowly' is correct? What about that following sentence?

Is "much more slowly" correct?

All the above sentences in both posts are correct.

'Very' is an adverb.

Rover's reply is correct. However, in a test, use "more slowly". I believe this is your teacher's choice.

I can agree with you. Both are OK.

According to me, "more slowly" would be the more appropriate choice too! Emotion: smile Happy New Year!!

"According to me" is not correct. It should be "In my opinion".

Happy New Year!

I agree to some extent with you, tamguatlay. But, "according to me" is a grammatically correct phrase. There's nothing wrong with it grammatically. We just don't say it. Just not the right way to convey what I meant; I admit that.

"According to him, her, them, Peter..." but not "According to me" or "According to us''.

OK. What about "according to you?"

"According to me" it sounds awkward - maybe it can be used in spoken language but is more informal - is weird. i have never heard anyone use "according to me" (i mean, a native speaker)
