Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes say *"We live separate"* instead of *"We live separately"* (an adverb is needed). They also confuse *separately* with *alone*: *separately* means "not together with others" and can still involve other people (e.g., two people working separately), while *alone* means "with no other person present."
