used to introduce an interesting fact
Used before a sentence to show that what you are going to say is surprising or special in some way.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[Interestingly], [clause]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say *"It is interestingly that..."* instead of using "Interestingly" as a sentence adverb: correct is "Interestingly, ...". Another common mistake is confusing "interestingly" with "interestedly"; "interestingly" describes something that is interesting, while "interestedly" describes someone who is interested.

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes use "interesting" instead of "interestingly" to modify a verb, e.g. *"He speaks very interesting"* instead of the correct "He speaks very interestingly". They may also use "interested" when they mean "interesting", as in *"He is an interested teacher"* (which means the teacher feels interest) instead of "He is an interesting teacher".

|
