Learners sometimes confuse this sense with the time-related meaning and say things like *"a forthcoming person"* to mean "a person who is coming soon." Here it means someone who shares information. Learners also sometimes say *"he forthcomingly answered"*, but "forthcoming" is not used as an adverb.
