Finishing with ACCORDINGLY?

22/3/2023

 
Picture
The word "accordingly" is an adverb that means in a manner that is appropriate to the circumstances or in a way that follows from or is in agreement with what has just been said. 
This is what your dictionary will tell you. But let's try to tame this definition a bit by looking at different examples and the meaning in the sentences.
  • ​I studied hard for my exam, and I received a good grade accordingly. (meaning: as a result)
  • The airline cancelled the flight, and they refunded my ticket accordingly. (meaning: appropriately)
  • The team won the game, and they celebrated accordingly. (meaning: in a way that was suitable for the occasion)
  • She arrived late to the meeting, and her colleagues started without her accordingly. (meaning: in response to the situation)
  • He requested more time to complete the project, and the deadline was extended accordingly. (meaning: in agreement with the request)
