How to use "Contrarily" in context?
There is a big difference between using 'contrary' and 'inverse'.
1. Contrary means that two things are opposed to each other. For example, if you say that the moon is in the sky, then the sky is opposed to the moon.
2. Inverse means that when two things are in opposition to each other, the one that is bigger or stronger will eventually win. For example, if you have two cups of water and you want to measure which is bigger, the cup that is in the sky will be bigger because it contains more water.
