Always Unchanging
As an adverb, 'eventualmente' always stays exactly the same, no matter who is doing the action or when it happened.
Not 'Casually' or 'Possibly'
Mistake: “Using 'eventualmente' to mean 'occasionally' or 'possibly,' like the less common English meaning of 'eventually.'”
Correction: In Spanish, 'eventualmente' almost always refers to time passing ('finally' or 'in the end'). If you mean 'sometimes,' use 'a veces' or 'ocasionalmente'.
