Spell Bee Word: normally


Basic Details

Word: Normally

Part of Speech: Adverb

Meaning: Usually, or in the regular way that things happen.

Synonyms: usually, generally, ordinarily

Antonyms: unusually, rarely

How to Spell Normally

Syllables: nor - mal - ly

Tricky part: It is normal + ly, so the l of normal stays and another l comes with ly. That makes a double l.

Watch out for: normaly, normelly, normallly

Memory tip: Keep the whole word normal and stick ly on the end. Nothing is taken away, so two l's meet.

Usage Examples

Example 1: I normally walk to school, but today it rained.

Example 2: The shop normally opens at nine o'clock.

Example 3: Our dog normally sleeps on the mat by the door.

Fun Fact
