用法パターン：
[someone] [verb] illegally
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *"He entered illegal"* instead of *"He entered illegally"*. Remember that "illegal" is an adjective (before a noun: *illegal drug*), and "illegally" is an adverb (describing how something is done: *enter illegally*). There is also confusion with "wrongly" or "badly"; these can mean something is morally or practically wrong, but not always against the law. Use "illegally" only when law or official legal rules are broken.
