happening in the end, finally
Happening at the end, after some time or after many steps, especially as the final result of something.
Mẫu sử dụng:
the eventual [noun] of [something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often confuse the adjective "eventual" with the adverb "eventually". "Eventual" is used before a noun (e.g. "the eventual result"), while "eventually" is used as an adverb (e.g. "They eventually won"). Another mistake is using "eventual" when they only mean "possible"; "eventual" usually suggests a likely or actual final result, not just something that might happen.
Từ đồng nghĩa
ultimate (Often slightly more formal or emphatic, and can suggest the very last or most important result.)
|
final (Stresses that nothing comes after it; less focus on the process or time leading up to it.)
Từ trái nghĩa
immediate (Describes something that happens right away, with no delay or long process beforehand.)
|
initial (Refers to the beginning stage, the opposite end of a process from the eventual result.)

who later becomes something
Used before a noun to say that someone or something later becomes that thing in the end.
Mẫu sử dụng:
the eventual [role/title]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use "future" where "eventual" is more natural in news or sports contexts (e.g. "future winner" instead of "eventual winner"). "Future" simply means later; "eventual" suggests the final, known outcome. Learners may also try to use "eventual" after the noun (e.g. *"the winner eventual"*), but in this sense it is almost always used directly before the noun.
Từ đồng nghĩa
future (Focuses more on a time that has not come yet; does not always imply that this is the final or end state.)
|
ultimate (More formal and emphatic, stressing the final and often highest status reached.)
Từ trái nghĩa
current (Describes the role or status someone has now, not the one they will have in the end.)
|
temporary (Suggests a role or status that is not final and will change, opposite of a final eventual role.)
