Used to show that other people say something is true, but you do not know for sure if it is true.
Pola penggunaan:
[subject] reportedly [verb]
Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes use "reportedly" to mean that they themselves are reporting something, but it actually shows that the information comes from other people or sources, not from the speaker. Another common mistake is placing it at the very end of the sentence (e.g., "He left the country reportedly"), which sounds unnatural; it usually goes before the main verb or after the verb "be" (e.g., "He reportedly left the country" or "He was reportedly tired").
Sinonim
allegedly (Very close in meaning, but often used in legal or crime contexts and can stress that something is not proven in court.)
|
supposedly (More informal and can sound slightly more doubtful or skeptical than "reportedly".)
Antonim
definitely (Expresses certainty, the opposite of the unconfirmed or second-hand nature implied by "reportedly".)
