How it's used

Used primarily in formal or semi-formal contexts to describe actions or information that do not come from the source directly. While it functions as an adjective, it is frequently used as an adverbial modifier without needing extra particles. It is common in professional settings, such as discussing business processes or communication channels.

Common mistake

Learners often try to use it as a verb or noun, but it is strictly an adjective. It cannot be used to describe physical objects or locations, only abstract concepts like methods, influence, or communication.
