in a way that is not the same
In another way; not in the same way as something or someone else.
Padrão de uso:
[someone] does [something] differently
Erro comum:
Learners often say *"do it different"* instead of *"do it differently"* when using it as an adverb. Remember to use *"different"* before a noun ("a different idea") and *"differently"* to describe how an action is done ("think differently"). Another common mistake is leaving out the article in the phrase *"in a different way"* (incorrect: *"in different way"*).
