How to Use It
Notas de uso
The word is neutral in terms of register, fitting both casual and formal settings. It is essentially a transition word used to bridge a general statement and a specific instance. Always pair it with a concrete noun or scenario to maximize clarity.
Erros comuns

Avoid overusing in one paragraph
Using '例えば' too many times in one paragraph can make your writing repetitive. Try varying your transitions.
