Learners often say *"He handled it very professional"* instead of *"He handled it very professionally"*. Remember: *professional* is an adjective (a professional person), and *professionally* is an adverb (do something professionally). Another mistake is using *professionally* where *politely* or *formally* would be better; *professionally* always suggests a work or job context.
