. It seems to me that 'still' also works in this sentence; the idea, however, is to replace the incorrect vocabulary with a similar but appropriate word.
In this case, 'quickly' and 'fast', which are synonyms in many structures, are not synonyms here. 'Fast' here means ''completely, firmly'. . _________________ Canadian-American native speaker who teaches English for a living at Mister Micawber's ESL cafe: Interview with Mr. Micawber |
