Where is the difference between PRECISELY and ACCURATELY??
I've read a lot of information but still don't understand the difference clearly.
Thank you

Precisely means not vague. With detail etc.
Accurately means correctly.
So where do you live? Ukraine. That’s an accurate answer because I can see that you do live in this country. But it’s not precise because it’s vague. It doesn’t tell me where in Ukraine you live
So if you answer a question accurately, it means you’re correct. If you answer it precisely, it means you’re giving a detailed answer BUT not necessarily a correct one

"Precisely" also means "exactly". You can use it to affirm something.
Examples:
Thomas: "So if I put salt in the water, the pasta will cook faster?"
Lydia: "Precisely."
- Meaning "yes" or "exactly" or "that's exactly right"
