[someone] is mightily [adjective]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes think "mightily" is directly related to the modal verb "might" and use it to talk about possibility (e.g., *"It mightily rain"*). This is incorrect; "mightily" is an adverb of degree like "very" or "extremely" and is used before adjectives or past participles describing strong reactions (e.g., "mightily impressed").

[someone] [verb] mightily
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners may treat "mightily" like a verb and say *"He mightily the door"*. It must modify a verb or adjective, not act as a verb itself: "He pushed mightily" or "He tried mightily." Some also overuse it in very formal writing, where "greatly" or "significantly" may sound more natural.
Từ đồng nghĩa
vigorously (Focuses on energetic, active effort; slightly more formal and less emotional than "mightily".)
|
powerfully (Emphasizes physical or metaphorical strength more than effort.)
|
strenuously (More formal; highlights effort and difficulty rather than the dramatic tone of "mightily".)
Từ trái nghĩa
weakly (Shows a lack of strength or energy, the opposite of the strong effort in "mightily".)
|
halfheartedly (Suggests low effort or enthusiasm, contrasting with the intense effort of "mightily".)
