When To Use

What does accordingly mean?

Accordingly means done in agreement or in a corresponding way.When you do something accordingly, you are doing it in a way that agrees with or conforms to another concept. For example, It looks like it might rain, so plan your hike accordingly, means to be prepared to hike in the rain (by wearing rain gear, for example) or be prepared to cancel the hike because it is raining.Accordingly also means therefore or in due course. When school is canceled unexpectedly, for example, your teacher might say, “Accordingly, you will all be given an extra day to complete your reports.” Accordingly is still connecting a statement to a previous one. In this case, it introduces a statement that is a result of a previous one. You will have an extra day to finish your report because school was canceled.Example: It’s going to be very cold this weekend, so make sure you pack accordingly.
