slow or slowy Hello everybody, someone can explain me if it is correct this statement If the guide had spoken more slow, I would have understood. or is it better this other. If the guide had spoken more slowly, I would have understood. Can I use both or I only can use the second? Thanks in advance.

You have two options. If the guide had spoken more slowly... If the guide had spoken slower...

Slow is an adjective, it refers to a noun Slowly is an adverb, it refers to a verb As far as I know, it would be "If the guide had spoken (more) slowly", because it refers to the verb "speak". (I'm not a native speaker, just a opinion of a student)

<<If the guide had spoken more slowly>> Better: "If the guide had spoken slowly" or, "If the guide had spoken slower" 'more' is redundant.

You need to use an adverb there. So it should be "MORE SLOWLY". "Slow" is an adjective. You can use it like "a slow car", "a slower car", "a slower PC". "Slowly" is an adverb. You can use it like "speak slowly", "speak more slowly", "eat slowly", "walk slowly", etc... Hope I helped you.
