よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes confuse the adverb "independently" with the adjective "independent" and say *"I want to live independent"* instead of "I want to live independently" or "I want to be independent." Another mistake is placing it in an unnatural position, for example *"He independently lives"; it is more natural to say "He lives independently."
