Common mistakes
He greeted us grand.He greeted us grandly.
grand 是形容词，不能修饰动词 greeted；修饰动词表示“盛大地、隆重地”要用副词 grandly。中文里“大”兼作副词和形容词，容易让学习者误把 grand 当作副词。
She was grandly excited about the trip.She was greatly excited about the trip.
grandly 意为“宏伟地、盛大地”，不表示程度“非常”。表达“非常、极大地”应使用 greatly。两者形近且都可能被理解为“很”，但含义和搭配不同。
They bought a grandly new car.They bought a grand new car.
grandly 是副词，不能修饰名词 car；修饰名词表示“宏伟的、豪华的”应用形容词 grand。去掉 -ly 才能正确限定名词。
