Have you ever had a friend who wasn’t really a friend? Someone who was there in the good times but never there in the bad times? Someone you thought you could rely on but in reality you couldn’t trust?
We call a person like this a fair-weather friend. Of course, it’s best to keep people like this at arms length.
Words can also be our friends! When learning a language we sometimes come across a word that sounds similar to a word in our own language. Very often these words have the same meaning – great! But sometimes the meaning of the two words can be quite different. We call these words false friends.
The word eventually is a false friend between the English language and several other European languages including French, German and Italian. So, what does the word eventually mean in English? This blog post looks at the word eventually and how to use it correctly in English.
What does eventually mean?
Many European languages have a word that is similar to the English word eventually. This comes as no surprise as the English language was heavily influenced by the German, French and Latin languages for over a thousand years. In the other European languages the word that looks and sounds similar to eventually has the meaning of probably.
However, in English the important thing to remember is:
Eventually does not mean probably.
So what does eventually mean in English? It means in the end or after some time. We use eventually to speak about the past or the future. Let’s look at some examples of both.
Eventually
- Eventually means in the end or after some time.
- Eventually does not mean probably or maybe.
Eventually — speaking about the future
When we use the word eventually to speak about the future, we are speaking about something that we know is going to happen. However, we do not know when it will happen.
For example, someone might say:
I will eventually learn to drive.
In this sentence, the speaker uses the word eventually because she is sure that one day she will learn to drive. However, she is not sure when she will learn to drive.
The word eventually is an adverb that follows the rule ‘after the first auxiliary verb’ when used in a sentence.
When we use eventually to speak about the future, we generally place it after the modal auxiliary verb will.
Here are some examples of sentences using eventually to speak about the future:
I will eventually go on holiday – I am not sure when.
Jane will eventually be promoted at work.
Marco will eventually speak fluent English.
The earth will eventually run out of oil.
I will eventually return to live in my home country.
In these sentences we use eventually because we want to communicate that we are sure that the action will happen but we are not sure when it will happen.
Eventually — speaking about the past
When we are speaking about the past, the word eventually means in the end or after all that. We often use eventually to talk about a situation in which we had to wait for a long time or to explain that something took a long time to happen.
For example:
Yesterday, Mark walked for 2 hours and he eventually arrived home at 11pm.
When we use the word eventually to speak about the past we generally put it before the main verb.
Here are some examples of eventually to speak about the past:
After 3 hours in the oven, the bread was eventually cooked.
Jane worked for 10 years before she eventually got a promotion.
Luke saved for 5 years and eventually bought a car.
The delivery man drove to seven different houses before he eventually found the right address.

Hi there! I’m your English coach Christina, welcome to Speak English with Christina, where you’ll learn American culture and business know-how to become confident in English.
Some English words sound the same as in your own language.
Most of the time, they also have the same meaning… but not always!
So you might think you’re using a word correctly, but then your English-speaking colleagues give you a weird look.
You think they understood what you mean, they think they understood what you mean, but actually you can both be wrong !
It’s alright! It can happen to everybody. And I want to help you get better than that!
That’s why I’m creating a practical, 100% useful ebook, “What was that?”: How to correct 50 common mistakes and avoid confusion in American English”. You’ll find in there conversation scripts, grammar tips, and many common mistakes you won’t have to make anymore!
For instance, let’s take the word “eventually.”
How not to use “Eventually”
I often hear a common mistake, that I find in sentences such as “Eventually, we might have lunch together, what do you think?” Here, the speaker makes a mistake with “eventually.”
Indeed, many students use “eventually” to express the idea of “something that might be a possibility,” or for something that might happen depending on how the situation evolves.
But that’s a mistake! These ideas are better expressed with “Maybe”, “Potentially” or “Possibly,” or even “If you want”
A correct version of the example would be “Maybe we’ll have lunch together, what do you think?”, or “We might have lunch together, possibly. What do you think?”
“Eventually” means something else!
The real meaning of “eventually”
In the English language, “eventually” means “finally”, “sometime in the future”, “sooner or later.”
Examples of “eventually” in sentences:
“I’m looking for a new job. It’s tough but I’m sure I’ll find one eventually.”
“Julie is late to our meeting, but she’ll get here eventually.”
“Eventually, you are going to get rid of all these mistakes in your English. I’m sure of it, don’t worry!”
The difficulty in this word is that it’s very easy to miss that you even made a mistake: your sentence will probably still mean something, but not what you intended to say!
For instance if you say “I’ll eventually call you!”, instead of “I’ll call you maybe! which is what you mean, they’ll understand “Sooner or later, I will call you”, which is a little vague, like “One day, I’ll call you. But the exact day is a mystery…
