用法模式：
to do [something] purposely
常见错误：
Learners often confuse "purposely" with "purposefully." "Purposely" means "on purpose" or "intentionally" (He purposely broke the window = He did it on purpose). "Purposefully" usually means "in a determined or focused way" (She walked purposefully to the door = She walked in a strong, decided way). Learners also sometimes say *"by purpose"* instead of the correct phrase "on purpose."
