Explanation
“Apparently” is used when something seems to be true based on what you have seen, heard, or been told, even if youâre not completely sure. It shows that you are saying something you believe to be true, but you didnât see or experience it yourself. For example, if someone says, âApparently, itâs going to rain,â they mean someone told them or they heard it somewhere. Itâs a way to share information that looks or sounds true, without fully confirming it. The word helps express doubt, surprise, or something you learned from someone else.
