ACTUAL(LY)

This is an example of what has been called FALSE FRIENDS.

ACTUAL means 'real'. "He looks older but his actual age is 40".

ACTUALLY means 'really' or 'in fact'. It may be used to correct misunderstandings:
"Hello, Peter. How are you?" "Actually, my name is John".
It also may be used to precise or to introduce unexpected information:
"She was so angry that she actually left".
"I've got a new girlfriend. Actually, we're thinking about getting married".
