In a way that cannot be avoided
Used when something is sure to happen and you cannot stop it.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[something] inevitably [verb/action]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse 'inevitably' with 'eventually'. 'Eventually' means something will happen at some point, but not necessarily that it cannot be avoided.
