Learners sometimes confuse "fortunate" (adjective) and "fortunately" (adverb), saying *"I am fortunately"* instead of "I am fortunate" or "Fortunately, I ...". Another common mistake is using "fortunately" with a negative result; it should introduce a positive or relieving outcome, while a bad result usually takes "unfortunately".
