In a way that is unlike anything or anyone else; sometimes used to mean ‘especially’ or ‘very’ before an adjective.
Patrón de uso:
uniquely [adjective]
Error frecuente:
Learners often confuse “unique” and “uniquely”. Use “unique” before a noun (e.g., “a unique chance”) and “uniquely” before an adjective or verb (e.g., “uniquely qualified”, “reacts uniquely”). Another mistake is using “uniquely” when they only mean “only”: “She is the only person here” is better than “She is uniquely the person here,” which sounds unnatural.
