תבנית שימוש: [something] is predominantly [adjective]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse "predominantly" with the adjective "predominant" and write sentences like *"The group is predominant women"* instead of *"The group is predominantly women"* or *"The predominant group is women"*. Another mistake is using it in very casual speech where "mostly" or "mainly" would sound more natural.
