Erro comum:
Learners often confuse "eminently" with "imminently." "Eminently" means "very" (eminently qualified = very qualified), while "imminently" means "very soon" (a storm is imminent = a storm will happen soon). Another mistake is to use "eminently" before negative adjectives where a neutral adverb is more natural; while phrases like "eminently forgettable" exist, in most cases "very" or "extremely" is safer and more common.
