Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners sometimes confuse "resolutely" with "absolutely" and use it to mean "completely" (e.g., *"I resolutely agree"*). "Resolutely" describes the determined way an action is done, not the degree. It is usually placed before or after a verb ("resolutely refused", "refused resolutely"), not before adjectives like *"resolutely happy"*.
