one by one; separately
Separately from other people or things; one at a time.
Tipar de utilizare:
to [do something] individually
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "individually" with "personally". "Individually" describes doing things one by one or separately (e.g., "The gifts were individually wrapped"), while "personally" is about your own feelings or actions (e.g., "I personally disagree"). Another common mistake is using the adjective "individual" instead of the adverb, as in *"The cakes are individual wrapped"* instead of "individually wrapped".

one by one (More informal and strongly emphasizes doing things in sequence.)

as separate people or things
Used when you talk about each person or thing alone, not as part of a group, often about their qualities.
Tipar de utilizare:
[people/things] are individually [adjective]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use "individually" where "personally" or "personally speaking" is more natural, for example saying *"Individually, I think it is wrong"* instead of "Personally, I think it is wrong." "Individually" should refer to each person or thing in a group, not to your own opinion.
Sinonime
as individuals (Longer phrase with the same focus on separate persons, slightly more explicit and formal.)
|
separately (Often interchangeable, but does not always carry the idea of personal qualities as clearly as "individually".)
Antonime
as a group (Highlights looking at the whole group together instead of each member alone.)
|
collectively (Stresses viewing people or things as a single unit instead of as separate individuals.)
