Dear teacher,

I wrote a sentence few days ago:

�I want to learn more words and use them more precisely.�

Then my teacher told me that �precisely� must alter to �accurately�.

I don�t really know the difference.

Please tell me what precisely and accurately means.

Thank you.

Well, I think your sentence was just fine.
precise (adverb - precisely)means - marked by exactness and accuracy of expression or detail.
accurately means correct in all details
