Thursday - what we will do

Hi everyone,

Phew!  We are done with the mid-term.

The pronunciation section did not go so well for most students, so we will review this in class.

Also, regarding the question about "more slowly" versus "slowlier"- the correct form is "more slowly."  I did a bit of research and found this:

The Oxford English Dictionary has two citations for slowlier, including this from the
seventeenth century philosopher Thomas Hobbes: 'They marched the slowlier for the
rain which had fallen the same night.' It is, however, rare: I have never seen or heard
it until now.

So, I did accept "slowlier" but it really isn't used these days.  Know that we say "more slowly" and this works for all adverbs.  

"She walks more quickly than me."  

"That dress is more lovely than the other one."

We will look at your writing and I will ask you to rewrite what you wrote with corrections so that you learn how to write better.

Sorry things got a bit rushed at the end and thank you for helping me to grade the exams!

See you tomorrow
