Cuándo usar Adverbios modales 干脆 y 明明
Both go after the subject and before the verb. 干脆 means “just, simply”: after a frustrating situation, you choose the quick, decisive solution (等太久了，我们干脆走路吧). 明明 means “clearly, obviously”: it stresses a fact that contradicts what someone says or does, so it comes with a contrasting clause, usually after it with 但是, 可是, 却 or 为什么, or before it (你说不知道，可你明明看过).

Errores frecuentes
- For a neutral “obviously” with no contradiction, use 显然: 他显然发烧了, not 他明明发烧了 on its own; 明明 needs a contrast such as “but” or “why” around it.
- When you have no choice, use 只好: 票卖完了，我们只好回家 sounds reluctant, while 干脆 would make it sound like your own decisive choice.
- Put 干脆 before the verb: 我们干脆走路吧, not 我们走路干脆吧.
