Поширена помилка:
Learners sometimes say *"a gradually change"* instead of *"a gradual change"*. Use **gradual** (adjective) before a noun (e.g., *a gradual improvement*) and **gradually** (adverb) before a verb (e.g., *things improved gradually*). Another mistake is using **gradual** when they only mean **slow** for one single action (e.g., *a slow walk* is more natural than *a gradual walk*; **gradual** usually involves change over time).
