Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse "sullenly" with "suddenly" because they sound similar. "Sullenly" is about mood (silent anger or gloom), while "suddenly" is about time (something happens quickly and without warning). Another mistake is using it like an adjective (e.g., *he was sullenly*) instead of the adjective "sullen" (correct: *he was sullen*; or *he spoke sullenly*).
