How to use "Exactly" in context?
There is no one answer to this question since it depends on what you mean by "exactly." Webster's Dictionary defines "exactly" as "in precise detail; exactly according to a certain rule or standard." When used as a verb, "exactly" means "to bring to a completed or specified state; to carry out with great accuracy." When used as a conjunction, "exactly" means "in the precise degree required or desired." Let's take a look at these examples and see what they mean:
