👉 Plainly; clearly; manifestly; evidently.
Alright class, settle down, letâs take a look! Youâve come across a tricky word today â âapparently.â Itâs a little bit of a puzzle, isnât it? The dictionary is giving you some excellent clues: "Plainly; clearly; manifestly; evidently." Let's break that down with a little rhyme to help us see! âApparentlyâ means something seems true, It appears to be, for me and for you. Itâs not necessarily fact, you see, But it looks like the truth, quite clearly! Think of it this way: someone says something is happening, or looks a certain way. Maybe your friend says, âApparently, the sky is blue!â They aren't saying it is definitively blue (though usually it is!). Theyâre just stating what they seem to observe. Itâs about impression and suggestion â it suggests something is true, but doesnât guarantee it with absolute certainty. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how "apparently" fits into a sentence?
