文法句型

environmentally + adjective (friendly, safe, responsible, sustainable)

sentence adverb at start of clause

用法筆記

Typically modifies adjectives such as 'friendly,' 'safe,' 'responsible,' 'sustainable,' and 'conscious.' Can also be placed at the beginning of a clause to frame the topic (sentence adverb use).

常見錯誤

❌I try to live environmentally.
✅I try to live in an environmentally friendly way.
💡On its own, 'environmentally' usually needs an adjective to modify; using it directly after a verb sounds incomplete.
