Patrón de uso:
[someone] [verb] vigorously
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "vigorously" with "violently." "Vigorously" means with a lot of energy or effort, but it does not always suggest harm or anger, while "violently" usually does. Another common mistake is word order; in English, adverbs like "vigorously" usually come after the main verb ("He argued vigorously"), or before a verb phrase ("He vigorously denied the claim"), not in the middle of a verb and its object (avoid: *"He denied vigorously the claim" in everyday speech).
