Grammar _comperative forms Hi, please help me with grammar. The grammar rules say "Use comparative adjectives to compare people and things. My brother’s taller than me. Use comparative adverbs to compare actions. He drives more slowly than me." So does it mean that the phrase, "He drives slower than me" is not correct?

Hi Svetlana, That's right, "He drives slower than me" is NOT correct. It should be 'He drives more slowly than me'. However, do not be surprised if you hear some native speakers say the incorrect version, it is a mistake sometimes made - even by native speakers!
