How it's used
Describes events or attitudes that are formal, elaborate, and carry a sense of gravity or respect. While it can describe the scale of an event, it specifically highlights the seriousness and ceremonial nature rather than just the size. It is often used to describe how someone approaches a task with excessive care or formality.
Examples
The opening ceremony this time is held very grandly.

grand opening
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical size or volume, as it strictly refers to the formality or solemnity of an occasion. Using it to describe a large but casual party would sound unnatural.
