in a firm, determined way
In a very strong and sure way, not wanting to change or stop.
Padrão de uso:
to do [something] resolutely
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "resolutely" with "absolutely" and use it to mean "completely" (e.g., *"I resolutely agree"*). "Resolutely" describes the determined way an action is done, not the degree. It is usually placed before or after a verb ("resolutely refused", "refused resolutely"), not before adjectives like *"resolutely happy"*.
Sinônimos

|
determinedly (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal and less frequent than "firmly.")
|
steadfastly (Adds a nuance of loyalty and long-term commitment, often in moral or emotional contexts.)
Antônimos
