Learners sometimes write *"intactly"* as an adverb (e.g., *"The house was intactly"*). In English, **intact** is only an adjective; say *"The house was intact"* or *"The house remained intact"*. Some also confuse **intact** with **entire** or **whole**; **intact** focuses specifically on not being damaged.

It is more natural to say *"His image is intact"* or *"His position is intact"*, not *"He is intact"*. Also, some write *"in tact"* as two words; the correct form is the single adjective **intact**.
