اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"very progressively"* to mean *"very gradually"*, but *progressively* already includes the idea of degree, so adding *very* is usually unnecessary. Another mistake is using *progressively* without a following change word; it is most natural before a comparative adjective (e.g., *progressively more difficult*, *progressively colder*).

In phrases like *"govern progressively"* or *"think progressively"*, it usually means *"in a modern, reformist way"*, not *"step by step".* Context about politics, society, or values often signals this meaning.
