In relation to the body

In a way that is about the body, not the mind or feelings.

Vzorec užití: [someone] is physically [adjective]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"I am physical tired"* instead of *"I am physically tired"*. Remember to use the adverb "physically" before an adjective. Learners may also confuse "physically" with "actually": *"I was physically there"* usually contrasts with being there online, while *"I was actually there"* means "in fact".
Synonyma
bodily (More formal and less common; mainly used in written English.)
Antonyma
mentally (Focuses on the mind or emotions instead of the body.)
Kolokace
physically strong |physically tired |physically attractive |physically weak |physically ill |physically exhausted

In person, not remotely

Being in a place with your body, not by phone or internet.

Vzorec užití: [someone] is physically present [somewhere]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use only "there" when they want to contrast online presence and real presence. In sentences like *"I was there, not just online"*, you can make the contrast clearer with *"physically there"* or *"there in person"*.
Synonyma
in person (More common in everyday speech; slightly more natural in many contexts.)
Antonyma
remotely (Means joining from another place using technology, not in the same physical space.)
Kolokace
physically present |physically be there |physically attend |physically in the same room |physically together

Using bodily force or contact

Using the body to touch, push, or hurt, not just using words.

Vzorec užití: [someone] is physically [verb]-ed
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"physic"* instead of *"physical"* or *"physically"*. Also, do not confuse *"physically abuse"* (using bodily violence) with *"verbally abuse"* (using bad or hurtful words).
Synonyma
by force (Focuses more on lack of consent; may or may not imply direct bodily contact.)
Antonyma
verbally (Refers to using words rather than bodily force, as in verbal abuse versus physical abuse.)
Kolokace
physically abuse |physically assault |physically attack |physically hurt |physically restrain |physically remove

Synonyma
in physical terms (More explicit and slightly more formal; often used in technical or academic contexts.)
Antonyma
theoretically (Refers to what is possible in theory or in a model, not necessarily in the actual physical world.)
