用法筆記

Typically appears after the verb, especially with verbs of perception (stare, gaze, look, blink). When placed before the verb ('He bewilderedly agreed'), the adverb emphasises the manner of the action itself. The confusion is usually inferred by an observer from the person's visible reaction rather than stated directly.
