a mistake?
|
Hi dear fellow teachers
Can you tell me is there a mistake in the following sentence:
He was not driving slow enough to see the name of the place.
An entry test asks for identification of a mistake, but I cannot find it.
Can you help?
Thanx in advance!
Hugs!

HI, Maybe it should be "slowly enough", as it is modifying a verb. |

Yes, that;s the mistake. It must be slowly since it modifies a verb and slowly is the appropriate adverb! |

Hi Veljaca,
Yes, I agree with the others, it should be an adverb.
Still, do not feel bad about the fact that you couldn �t find the mistake, in American English it is common to omit adverbs, adjectives are used instead, unless you are an anchor on TV or the CEO giving a speech ;o)
Regards
