In relation to the body
In a way that is about the body, not the mind or feelings.
Schemat użycia:
[someone] is physically [adjective]
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes say *"I am physical tired"* instead of *"I am physically tired"*. Remember to use the adverb "physically" before an adjective. Learners may also confuse "physically" with "actually": *"I was physically there"* usually contrasts with being there online, while *"I was actually there"* means "in fact".
Synonimy
bodily (More formal and less common; mainly used in written English.)
Antonimy
mentally (Focuses on the mind or emotions instead of the body.)

In person, not remotely
Being in a place with your body, not by phone or internet.
Schemat użycia:
[someone] is physically present [somewhere]
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes use only "there" when they want to contrast online presence and real presence. In sentences like *"I was there, not just online"*, you can make the contrast clearer with *"physically there"* or *"there in person"*.
Synonimy
in person (More common in everyday speech; slightly more natural in many contexts.)
Antonimy
remotely (Means joining from another place using technology, not in the same physical space.)

Schemat użycia:

Częsty błąd:

Synonimy
by force (Focuses more on lack of consent; may or may not imply direct bodily contact.)
Antonimy
verbally (Refers to using words rather than bodily force, as in verbal abuse versus physical abuse.)
