Video Script

Hello and welcome to "Hello Word!", the podcast where we dive into English words to help expand your vocabulary and boost your confidence in speaking. I'm Alex, and today’s word of the day is accurately. This is a B2-level adverb that means “in a correct or exact way.” To accurately describe something means to do it without errors, capturing the true details or specifics. For instance, if you follow a recipe accurately, you’re making sure to measure each ingredient as instructed, resulting in a dish that turns out just as it should. When someone says, “Please record the numbers accurately", they’re asking you to be careful so that everything is correct. Some synonyms for accurately are precisely, exactly, and correctly. Let’s look at these in sentences. Imagine your friend is building a model, and you might say, “Make sure you cut each piece precisely so they all fit together.” Or, if you’re double-checking a report, you might say, “Is the data listed exactly as the client requested?” Lastly, think of a math problem. You’d want to answer it correctly to get full points. On the other hand, some antonyms of accurately are inaccurately, incorrectly, and imprecisely. For example, if someone says, “The article was written inaccurately", they mean that it has mistakes or does not reflect the facts. If your answer to a question is incorrectly phrased, it may mean you haven’t fully understood the topic. And if a friend measures a wall imprecisely before hanging a picture, they might find it ends up looking a bit crooked. In everyday life, accurately can be useful in so many scenarios. Picture yourself working on a project. You’d want to describe your ideas accurately so everyone understands what you mean. Or if you’re helping a friend find a specific restaurant, you’d give directions accurately so they arrive at the right place without getting lost. Here are some examples of accurately in sentences. “Please make sure to accurately complete each section of the form.” “She accurately explained how the machine operates, making it easy for everyone to use.” “The weather forecast predicted today’s temperatures accurately, so we dressed just right for the day.” To wrap up, accurately means doing something in a correct or exact way. It’s similar to precisely or correctly and the opposite of incorrectly or inaccurately. Thank you so much for joining me on today’s episode.
