‘Faster’ or ‘fast’
WHICH is correct?
‘Faster’ or ‘fast’?
1) Quick! Go get it! or Quickly! Go get it!
(Do we say quickly or quick?)
We usually say:
“Quick! Go get it!”,
where “Quick” can mean “Be quick!” or “Act quickly!”
2) (Fast/Faster)! We’re going to be late!
We say “Faster! We’re going to be late!”.
We never say “Fast!” in this context, where I imagine the speaker asking her companion to walk/drive/cycle faster than he already is doing because they may otherwise be late for a class, a film, etc.
