Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When aiming for concise phrasing, consider using adverbs like "quickly" or "expeditiously" instead of "timely" to modify the verb "supported."
Common error
Avoid placing the adverb "timely" directly after the verb "supported". In English grammar, adverbs modifying verbs typically come before the verb or are part of a prepositional phrase that follows the verb. For example, say "supported in a timely manner" rather than "supported timely".
