Hello Rokr, You got the definition of the 2 words above. Some examples to show the difference: "Do you like this song?" "Indeed, I do." You are confirming without doubt, that you like it. " Is this the song you told me about?" "Exactly. It is the one." Here you affirm precisely. In the first example you can't use "exactly " instead of "indeed" , you can't say " Exactly ,I do ". However in the second example you can use "indeed" as well. It won't be a synonym, but it is possibly used. "Indeed, it is the one." Here you say ,"it is the one without doubt",while using "exactly" means," it is precisely the one."
