in terms of appearance
In a way that is about how something looks to the eyes.
Padrão de uso:
[something] is visually [adjective]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes say *"in visually"* or *"by visually"* before an adjective (e.g., *"in visually good"*). Use "visually" directly before an adjective: "visually good", "visually complex". Learners may also confuse "visually" with "optically"; "optically" is more technical and used in science, while "visually" is general and common in everyday language.
Sinónimos
in appearance (More informal phrase; focuses only on the way something looks, similar to "visually" in this sense.)
|
to the eye (Idiomatic phrase; slightly more informal and often used for aesthetic judgment.)
Antónimos
audibly (Focuses on sound rather than sight, contrasting the sensory mode being described.)
|

using visual forms or media
Using pictures, diagrams, or things you see to show or understand information.
Padrão de uso:
[something] is presented visually
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes use "visually" when they only mean "clearly" (e.g., *"He explained it visually"* when no pictures or diagrams were used). Use this sense of "visually" only when information is shown through images, diagrams, or other things you look at, not just when something is easy to understand.
Sinónimos
in visual form (Neutral phrase; directly highlights the use of images or visible form for communication.)
|
graphically (Often used about charts and diagrams; can also mean "in vivid detail" in other contexts, so it may be less precise.)
Antónimos
verbally (Emphasizes using spoken or written words instead of visual forms.)
|
orally (Specifically refers to spoken communication rather than visual presentation.)
