‘Hi, Mary. What a pleasant surprise!’ ‘Actually my name is Alice.’I hear that you're a doctor. ~ Well, actually, I'm a dentist.
You are a doctor, right?’ ‘Well, actually, I’m a teacher.’
‘I don’t think you have sent the money, have you?’ ‘I have, actually.’
I have got a promotion. Actually, they have made me the manager.
‘Did you enjoy the movie?’ ‘Very much, actually.’
NOWADAYS, THESE DAYS or TODAY refer to the PRESENT TIME.
