Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "legal" instead of "legally" before verbs, for example *"You must drive legal"* instead of the correct *"You must drive legally"*. Remember: use "legal" before nouns (a legal document) and "legally" before verbs (act legally) or adjectives (legally valid). Learners also sometimes say *"by the legal way"*; it is more natural to say "legally".

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "legally" with "officially" or "technically". "Legally" focuses on what the law says; for example, someone may be legally an adult at 18 even if many people do not see them as very mature. Use "legally" when the specific rules of law are important.
