Eventual vs Eventually

#FluentFriday

No #FluentFriday de hoje vamos conhecer a diferença entre Eventual e Eventually.

The word “eventual” is an adjective that refers to something that occurs at the end of a process or happens after a series of events, indicating a final outcome or result.

On the other hand, “eventually” is an adverb that describes something that will happen at some time in the future, typically after a period of waiting or after other intermediate events.

Here are some examples to illustrate how these words are used in sentences:

1. Eventual:
   • The team’s eventual goal is to win the championship.
     (This sentence means that winning the championship is the final aim the team is working toward.)
   • After several months of negotiations, the eventual agreement satisfied both parties.
     (This suggests that the agreement reached was the final outcome of the long negotiations.)
2. Eventually:
   • After many attempts, she eventually solved the puzzle.
     (In this example, “eventually” indicates that she succeeded in solving the puzzle after trying multiple times.)
   • The weather was rough, but the flight eventually landed safely.
     (Here, “eventually” implies that despite the tough weather, the safe landing happened after some time.)

Use “eventual” when referring to the final result or outcome of a process and “eventually” when indicating that something will occur in the future, often after delays or a series of events.

Eventual = final
Eventually = finalmente
