Tipar de utilizare:
[something] is temporarily [adjective/past participle]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "temporarily" (adverb) with "temporary" (adjective). For example, they may say *"The shop is temporary closed"* instead of the correct *"The shop is temporarily closed"*. Another mistake is using an extra preposition, such as *"for temporarily"*, which is usually wrong; say *"The service is temporarily unavailable"*, not *"The service is for temporarily unavailable"*.
Sinonime

Antonime
permanently (States that something will not change or end; the opposite of being limited in time.)
|
forever (Informal and emotional way to say that something will never end, contrasting with a short, limited time.)
