عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "vainly" with the phrase "in vain". They are very close in meaning, but "vainly" is used directly before or after a verb ("tried vainly to help"), while "in vain" usually comes after the verb phrase ("tried to help in vain"). Learners also sometimes write *"in vainly"*, which is incorrect.
