Free or freely? These two words look similar, but they’re not the same.
Free means without cost or available. It describes something.
– This coffee is free. – I’m free this weekend. – The app is free to use.
Freely means without restrictions or without limits. It describes how something happens.
– You can speak freely here. – She moved freely around the room. – He gave freely to charity.
Try writing one sentence with free and one with freely in the comments.
Thanks for watching, and until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.
