Hi All!

Is there a big difference of meaning between these two verbs: to "slip" and to "skid"?

Hi Jan

The verb slip can be used to describe an action of short duration. The verb slip can be used for either intentional or unintentional action, controlled or uncontrolled movement.

The verb skid usually describes a more prolonged movement. A car might skid if the driver tries to stop much too suddenly -- skidding is a sort of sliding stop, and afterwards there is often a long set of black marks left on the road that identify the point at which the car began to skid and the point at which it finally stopped.
