Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse 'ordinarily' with the adjective 'ordinary'. 'Ordinarily' is an adverb and usually modifies a whole sentence or verb, as in 'Ordinarily, I go by car', not 'I have an ordinarily job'. Another mistake is putting it in an unnatural position; it is most natural at the beginning of the sentence or before the main verb: 'Ordinarily, we start at nine' or 'We ordinarily start at nine.'
