Schema d'uso:
[someone] [verb] furiously
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse 'furiously' with 'fast' only, and forget that the main meaning is about strong anger. Another common mistake is using the adjective form '*he was furiously*' instead of 'he was furious' when describing a state rather than an action.

Schema d'uso:

Errore comune:
Learners sometimes think 'furiously' in this sense always means 'angrily', but it can simply describe speed or intensity with no emotion. Make sure the context shows fast or strong action, not just anger.

frantically (Adds a feeling of panic or worry; 'furiously' focuses more on speed and intensity.)
|
intensely (Emphasizes depth of effort or focus; may be less about speed than 'furiously'.)
Contrari
