Vartosenos šablonas:
to [verb] bravely [in a difficult situation]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use the adjective instead of the adverb and say *"He fought brave"* instead of *"He fought bravely"*. Remember: use **brave** before a noun (*a brave woman*) and **bravely** to describe an action (*She spoke bravely*). Another mistake is putting *bravely* in an unnatural position, like *"He bravely was"*; it usually goes before the main verb (*He bravely agreed*) or after it (*He agreed bravely*).

In a very bright and strong way that looks rich or fancy.
Vartosenos šablonas:
bravely [verb of appearance] (e.g. dressed, lit, decorated)
Dažna klaida:
Learners may think this meaning is about courage because of the more common sense of "bravely". In older or literary texts, however, *bravely* can sometimes mean "brightly" or "in a showy way" when describing clothes, buildings, or colors.
Sinonimai
splendidly (Very similar in this literary sense, with a strong feeling of richness and beauty.)
|
brightly (Focuses mainly on strong light or color and is more common; it lacks the old-fashioned sense of showiness that "bravely" can have here.)
Antonimai
shabbily (Describes something that looks poor or worn-out, the opposite of looking bright and fine.)
|
dully (Suggests a lack of brightness or color, the opposite of this showy use of "bravely".)
