safely, protected from harm
In a way that keeps someone or something safe from danger, people who might steal it, or people who should not see it.
תבנית שימוש:
to lock/store [something] securely
טעות נפוצה:
Learners often use only "safe" and forget the adverb form, saying *"store it safe"* instead of "store it securely". Some also confuse "securely" with "secretly"; "securely" is about safety and protection, not about hiding something for privacy or mystery.

in a safe, stable position
In a way that shows a job, position, or success is safe and will probably not be lost or changed soon.
תבנית שימוש:
[someone/something] is securely [in a position]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse this sense with the physical sense and try to use objects: *"The job is securely tied"*. In this meaning, "securely" goes with abstract things like power, jobs, or status, not with ropes or doors. Learners may also overuse "very" and say *"very secure"* instead of using the adverb: "They are securely in the lead."
