ESPECIALLY
We use ‘especially’, when we single out someone or something over the rest.
The adverb especially is used when there is something much more than the ordinary, i.e.
above all other things present.
The adverb ‘especially’ is used to highlight the importance of something or the
superiority of someone, over others. It may also mean very or particularly.
This is mainly used when you want to emphasize someone or something having an edge
over the others. However, it can also be used in other contexts also depending on what
the sentence means.
Especially denotes something exceptional or above all, i.e. when you want to lay stress
on what you state is more appropriate to a particular person or thing than the rest.
Especially is placed prior to preposition or conjunction in a sentence.
Examples: I love flowers, especially roses. This place is very hot, especially in summer.
