Finally; after everything else
Used to say the last thing in a list of things you are talking about.
Padrão de uso:
lastly, [subject] [verb] ...
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "lastly" with "at last". "Lastly" is used to introduce the final point in a list (e.g., "Lastly, we will discuss..."), while "at last" expresses relief that something has finally happened after a long wait (e.g., "At last, the train arrived"). Another common mistake is using "lastly" where simple "finally" or "last" would be more natural in informal speech. Also, avoid adding "at" before it; "at lastly" is incorrect.
