发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words that rhyme with formally (same stressed vowel /ɔː/ and ending /rəli/): normally, morally, orally. Causally also has /ɔː/ but lacks the /r/ sound—near rhyme. Words like actually and finally end in -ally but have different stressed vowels (/æ/ and /aɪ/), so they are spelling lookalikes, not true rhymes.
