Slide is when you move something or yourself without it moving off the surface. For example: sliding down the slide (toboggan)
Glide is when it is a graceful action, such as an ice skater glides across the ice.
Slip is when you accidentally fall because of the surface being slippery. For example: he slipped on the muddy ground.
Slip can also be used when you accidentally say something you weren’t went to and is usually a mean or rude comment. For example: Oops, I let it slip.
