Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use the adjective instead of the adverb and say *"He fought brave"* instead of *"He fought bravely"*. Remember: use **brave** before a noun (*a brave woman*) and **bravely** to describe an action (*She spoke bravely*). Another mistake is putting *bravely* in an unnatural position, like *"He bravely was"*; it usually goes before the main verb (*He bravely agreed*) or after it (*He agreed bravely*).

Learners may think this meaning is about courage because of the more common sense of "bravely". In older or literary texts, however, *bravely* can sometimes mean "brightly" or "in a showy way" when describing clothes, buildings, or colors.
