adverbs

Hi,

I don´t understand how to use adverbs. Can you teach me ?

Which is correct? Anne speaks SLOWER /MORE SLOWLY than me.

Thanks !

From a strictly grammatical point of view, the comparative forms of adverbs ending in ly are formed by adding more before the adverb: He speaks slow ly . I speak more slow ly than he/him. However, in informal spoken English slower is commonly used.
