Let&#39;s look into the speaker&#39;s mind at the long form of what is being said.<br /><br />A: The car driver didn&#39;t hit you because he braked very quickly.<br />B: <strong>Lucky for you</strong>.<em> Long version: It was lucky for you that he braked quickly.</em> <strong>Adjectival form<br /></strong><br />A: The car driver didn&#39;t hit you because he braked very quickly.<br />B: <strong>Luckily for you</strong>.<em> Long version: He braked very quickly, luckily for you.</em><strong> Adverbial form<br />&nbsp;<br /></strong>In my opinion, &#39;luckily for you&#39; is more stylistically accepted. It serves as a phrase that person B simply adds to the end of what person A has just said.<br /><br />Best wishes, Clive<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LuckilyLuckyCorrect/gwqmk/post.htmWed, 23 Jul 2008 03:03:10 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:545268Anonymous1http://www.englishforums.com/English/LuckilyLuckyCorrect/gwqmk/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-545268.xmlGrammatically, stylistically, etc..and why is it correct?<br /><br />Thank you!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
