11. Anyhow and somehow
• Incorrect: He did it anyhow.
• Correct: He managed to do it somehow.
• Incorrect: He keeps his things somehow in his desk.
• Correct: He keeps his things anyhow in his desk. (= He doesn’t keep his things in order.)
• Incorrect: He may not come but somehow I shall.
• Correct: He may not come but anyhow I shall. (= I will certainly come.)
Use 'anyhow' to mean 'in disorder'. ‘Anyhow’ can also mean 'for certain'.
