Definition: Plainly; clearly; manifestly; evidently.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve come across a tricky word today – “apparently.” It’s a little bit of a puzzle, isn’t it? The dictionary is giving you some excellent clues: "Plainly; clearly; manifestly; evidently." Let's break that down with a little rhyme to help us see! “Apparently” means something seems true, It appears to be, for me and for you. It’s not necessarily fact, you see, But it looks like the truth, quite clearly! Think of it this way: someone says something is happening, or looks a certain way. Maybe your friend says, “Apparently, the sky is blue!” They aren't saying it is definitively blue (though usually it is!). They’re just stating what they seem to observe. It’s about impression and suggestion – it suggests something is true, but doesn’t guarantee it with absolute certainty. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how "apparently" fits into a sentence?
