How to use "Mainly" in context?
When you predominantly use something, you use it most of the time and there are exceptions. This is often used to describe how you feel about a particular thing or how you think it will be. For example, "I mainly just want to eat pizza tonight." This means that eating pizza is what the speaker primarily wants to do and there may be other things that are possible, but pizza is the main focus.
