DÊ RESPOSTAS
TaceMay 2019 As I study Russian and Norwegian on Memrise, the terms "in fact" and "actually" are learned as synonyms. |
vincentMay 2019 thanks
vincentFebruary 2020 Good advice exRanger!
exRangerFebruary 2020 While English-language users, native and otherwise, use both A LOT and they are more or less "synonymous", I find it a (worthwhile) challenge to compose written (and spoken) material, in English, that eschews (i.e., avoids incorporating) BOTH of these artifacts, which are "filler" of the highest order. They are almost as annoying to an academically oriented English user as the "filler"term "like", especially as "like" is used in conversation/spoken English, and most egregious (chronically, in some instances) by Americans -- especially ones born circa 1980 and later (i.e., Generations X, Y, and Z).
"Actually" and "In fact": strive to NOT use these in your writing and/or conversational English and you will discover myriad other ways to express the same concepts w/out (seemingly) reusing, oagain and again, one or the other (or both) of these vocabulary items.
