What’s The Difference Between SPECIALLY And ESPECIALLY? Use especially when something stands out from all the others (similar to the meaning of “particularly.”)

• The whole book was terrible – especially the ending.

• He loves animals, especially dogs.

• I can’t wait for the trip to New York. I’m especially looking forward to seeing the Statue of Liberty.

• Especially can also be used before an adjective with a meaning like “very” or “extremely.”

• It’s especially important to arrive on time for your first day of class.

• All the desserts were great, but the cherry pie was especially delicious.

• If something was designed specifically for a special purpose, use specially:

• The bus has been specially designed to accommodate passengers in wheelchairs.

• These dogs are specially trained to detect drugs.

• The decorations were specially made for the wedding.

Good luck .
