A word to show that it really happened. Not to be confused with figuratively. Correct Usage: It rained so hard last night, I could LITERALLY hear the raindrops as I was sleeping. The person could hear the rain falling down while they were sleeping. Incorrect Usage: It was LITERALLY raining cats and dogs last night. Apparently, cats and dogs were falling from the sky last night, according to this person. If you got this wrong, I don't blame you. I didn't know for a while, too.
