טעות נפוצה:
Learners may confuse **thankfully** (adverb) with **thankful** (adjective) and say things like *"she was looking thankful"* when they mean the manner of looking. Use **thankfully** to describe how an action is done ("she looked thankfully at him") and **thankful** to describe a state ("she was thankful for his help").
