Help(please)
Hi, there
Could you help me?
1) I've heard people say "way over on my side". Could you say "Further over on my/that side"? Like (writing on a blackboard) "Write further over on that side"? What could you say?
2) Do you say "Slow-cooked or slow-cooking ribs"? And "fast/quick-cooked or fast-quick cooking"?
Thank you!

Hi Jordana! The only time I've heard "way over on my side" is when either a car comes across the center line ("He was way over on my side of the road") or when my kids were arguing over their territory on the couch/car seat/bench/etc. ("Mom, she's way over on my side!") Yes, you can say "further over on that side." Where I live, we use the phrase "slow-cooked" to mean either a slow process, like you'd use with ribs, or cooking in a crock pot. The phrase "quick-cooking" is sometimes on packages of rice, oatmeal, etc. that typically take a long time to cook, and it is used as an adjective. You wouldn't say, "I'm quick cooking some food." If you want to express that you are cooking something in a hurry, you'd say "I'm cooking some food quickly", because you need an adverb to modify the verb cooking. I don't think I'd ever say "fast-quick cooking". I hope this helps!
