# separately

adverb

«separately» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

Separately means apart, not together; one at a time or each on its own. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/S/separately/#m1)

### In the lessons

Used in maths and school tasks: "Work out each part separately, then add them." In everyday life: wash dark and white clothes separately; recycling: sort glass, paper and plastic separately. In science: test each material separately (a fair test changes one thing at a time).
