Schéma d’usage :
to do [something] jointly (with [someone])
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes use *joint* instead of *jointly* as an adverb, saying, for example, "They joint own a house" instead of "They jointly own a house." Another common issue is using *jointly* in very casual speech where *together* is more natural. Also, some learners place *jointly* in an unnatural position: the most typical positions are before the main verb ("jointly own") or after the verb "be" ("are jointly responsible").

Antonymes
