Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think "mightily" is directly related to the modal verb "might" and use it to talk about possibility (e.g., *"It mightily rain"*). This is incorrect; "mightily" is an adverb of degree like "very" or "extremely" and is used before adjectives or past participles describing strong reactions (e.g., "mightily impressed").

Erro comum:
Learners may treat "mightily" like a verb and say *"He mightily the door"*. It must modify a verb or adjective, not act as a verb itself: "He pushed mightily" or "He tried mightily." Some also overuse it in very formal writing, where "greatly" or "significantly" may sound more natural.
