truly (spelling) vs truely

- He was truly sorry for the mistake.
not truly / truly and honestly
In speech, truly often confirms honesty. Truly and honestly can be used for emphasis, but they should not be repeated too much.

!Common mistakes 3
✗ He was truely sorry.
✓ He was truly sorry.
The final e of true is dropped before -ly.
'True' के अंत का 'e' '-ly' से पहले हट जाता है।
✗ He is truly a honest man.
✓ He is truly an honest man.
Honest begins with a vowel sound, so it takes an, not a.
'Honest' का आरंभ स्वर-ध्वनि से होता है, इसलिए उसके साथ 'an' आता है, 'a' नहीं।
✗ I truly am agree with your opinion.
✓ I truly agree with your opinion.
Agree is a verb, so it does not take am; the adverb truly goes before it.
'Agree' क्रिया है, इसलिए उसके साथ 'am' नहीं आता।
