תבנית שימוש:
to do [something] unexpectedly
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse "unexpectedly" with "suddenly." "Suddenly" focuses mainly on how fast something happens, while "unexpectedly" focuses on the fact that people did not think it would happen. Another common mistake is spelling it incorrectly as *unexpectly* or *unexpectadly*; the correct form is "unexpectedly."
