Erro comum:
Learners often confuse "forcibly" with "forcefully". Use "forcibly" when someone is made to do something against their will (e.g., "forcibly removed"), and "forcefully" when something is done in a strong or very firm way (e.g., "spoke forcefully"). Learners may also put the adverb in an unnatural place; it is usually placed after the verb or after the object, as in "removed forcibly" or "removed them forcibly".

They may also confuse this sense with the physical sense and think it always involves violence; here it only describes the strength of speech or argument.
