In the best situation; preferably
Used to say what would be the best thing to happen, even if it may not really happen.
Vartosenos šablonas:
Ideally, [someone] should [verb]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use *ideal* instead of *ideally* at the start of a sentence (e.g. *Ideal, we should leave now*). Use *Ideally,* plus a comma to introduce what would be best: *Ideally, we should leave now.* Another mistake is using *perfectly* instead of *ideally* when talking about what you want to happen in the future; *perfectly* usually describes how something is, not what you wish for.
Sinonimai
preferably (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal and less emotional than "ideally".)
|
in a perfect world (More informal and clearly shows that the situation is imaginary or unlikely.)
|
if possible (Focuses more on what can realistically be done, less on a perfect situation.)
Antonimai
realistically (Introduces what is actually possible, not the ideal or best case.)
|
unfortunately (Signals that the best or desired situation did not or cannot happen.)

ideally [adjective/past participle]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes say *very ideal* instead of using *ideally* with an adjective or past participle. For example, say *The room is ideally suited for meetings*, not *The room is very ideal for meetings.* They may also forget the preposition and say *ideally suited students* instead of *ideally suited to students*.

|
optimally (More technical and formal; often used in scientific or business contexts.)

poorly (Shows that something is not well suited or not good for its purpose.)
