Grammar

slowly surely

How would you write the following?

When I first had the 2 hamburgers, I like that one more but over the next couple of months, slowly but surely, I started liking the other one more.

How would you say? Would you change a few words?
If you would like to know which hamburger is better, you can't taste each one at separate times, you need to have all the burgers side by side and take a bite of each one after the other.

Thanks in advance

It's alright, though I'd put a comma before the word but (more, but) to indicate a breath space, since it's a long sentence. For the second part, I'd state the sentence this way: If you want to try which hamburger is better, you shouldn't taste them at different times. You should have them side by side and try them alternately.

  • It usually helps clarity to use less words to explain a thought, and to break up sentences if they are too long.
