Appropriately for Dummies
adverb
pronunciation: ʌ'proʊpriɪtliWhat does Appropriately really mean?
Okay, let me give you an example. Imagine you're visiting an art gallery. Now, when you're in that particular setting, it's important to behave in a certain way. You would speak softly, not touch the artwork, and show respect, right? That's because it's more appropriate to act that way in an art gallery, instead of running around and being loud like you might do at a playground. See, being appropriate is like understanding what's considered proper in different situations, and then acting accordingly.
Now, there are a few different definitions of "appropriately," and they all have something in common – fitting in or matching up with what's expected or required. For example, when you complete an assignment for school, your teacher might tell you whether you did it appropriately or not. If you followed the instructions and did it in the way your teacher asked, then you did it appropriately. But if you didn't follow the instructions, or if you didn't really understand what you were supposed to do, then it wouldn't be appropriate, and your teacher might ask you to try again.
So, to sum it all up, "appropriately" means doing something in a way that's considered right or suitable for the specific situation or expectations of others. It's like wearing the right clothes for an occasion or behaving in a way that shows respect and consideration. It's all about fitting in and doing what's expected or required. Got it?
Does this explanation make sense to you? Can you think of any other situations where it's important to act appropriately?
