Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a tricky little word that can brighten your way!
We’re talking about “actually,” it's quite the delight,
Let’s break it down and see just what is right.
The dictionary tells us, with a helpful decree,
“In act or in fact; really; in truth; positively!” See?
It means something’s
true
, beyond all doubt you see,
Not just what you might think, but undeniably free!
Think of it like this: you say “I’m sad,” that's true,
But if someone asks, "Are you
actually
blue?"
You're saying you feel sadness, a deeper hue,
It’s more than just a feeling, it's genuine and new!
"Actually" is used when you want to be clear,
To show something’s real, banishing all fear.
It adds a little emphasis, a truthful decree,
So let’s use “actually” thoughtfully, you see?
Any questions bubbling up for me? Don't hesitate to ask!
