There several words in the English language that are quite different from what we expect due to their portuguese-spelling similarity. Check out a couple of adverbs that might be taken into consideration:
EVENTUALLY: it describes what happens in the end. It's used to emphasize a result after a series of things. It also shows a "gradual" result. AT LAST is a synonym. It's used to emphasize a result that comes up at an unspecified time.
- Look at the way she treats her kid. She shouldn't beat him up every time he does something wrong. I hope she will eventually understand a beating isn't helpful at all.
- If Josh keeps exercising like that and doesn't get back to eating junk food, he will eventually lose weight.
FINALLY: it describes what happens in the end. It's used to give emphasis to the last thing that is done or happens in a series of events.
- After the teacher explained the topic for the third time, the student finally understood.
- The project has finally come to an end! We'll have time to focus on other issues from now on.
