1.副詞B2

釋義

誠然；確實

true
informal opener that concedes a point; usually followed directly by 'but'
certainly
stronger agreement; less of a concession and more of an emphatic 'yes'
of course
concedes something the listener already knows; can sound impatient if overused

反義詞

clause, admittedly, + clause

用法筆記

Functions as a sentence adverb, not as a manner adverb on a single verb. It almost always pairs with a contrasting clause led by 'but', 'yet', 'though', or 'however' — speakers grant one fact in order to push back with a stronger point.

常見錯誤

❌She admittedly the cake.

✅Admittedly, she ate the whole cake.

💡'admittedly' modifies the whole sentence, it does not replace the verb.

❌He spoke admittedly about his loss.

✅Admittedly, he found the loss painful.

💡for the manner sense ('openly') use 'frankly' or 'openly'; 'admittedly' only signals a concession.
