without meaning or planning to
In a way that you do not plan or want; by accident and not on purpose.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone] accidentally [verb]s [something]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say *'I did it by accidentally'* instead of *'I did it by accident'* or *'I did it accidentally'*. Use *'by accident'* as a fixed phrase, or *'accidentally'* directly before the verb: *'I accidentally broke the glass.'* Another common mistake is word order, such as *'I broke accidentally the glass.'* In natural English, say *'I accidentally broke the glass.'*
