用法筆記

Averagely is far less common than the adjective 'average'. It is almost always used before an adjective or past participle that describes a quality or result — for example, 'averagely successful', 'averagely talented', 'averagely dressed'. You would not normally use it at the start of a sentence or after a verb without a following modifier.

❌The food was averagely.
✅The food was average.
💡'Averagely' must be followed by an adjective or participle; it cannot stand alone as a complement after 'be'.
❌Averagely, students spend three hours on homework.
✅On average, students spend three hours on homework.
💡'On average' (not 'averagely') is the correct phrase for introducing a general statistic.
