Is this English book good for people to master?

So you mean many native speakers say"slowly read it", too. Just that speak "do it slowly" will be easier for mouth and throat interatcion, right?

 

Well, um, no, I didn't, but now you have me wondering about that.

 

In speech, the adverb usually follows the verb, but in writing the placement depends very much on the required emphasis.

E.g.

"Slowly add the acid to the water."

 

Is your native language inflected?

I think they put adverb behind a certain action is more common; so you mean they do it to emphasize something?

I think to dissect the grammatical structure of that: do it which is slowly. But you say do it slowly is a fast-paced phrase.
