Question

I'm a senior student.I have been in love with a boy for three years.But he is a shy boy,so I wrote him a letter firstly to express my feeling.
1.firstly --first
2.feeling--feelings

Answer 1

1.first本身就可以作副词,表示首先做某事；firstly虽然也是副词,但一般用于表明“首先”、“其次”这样的条理关系.这里的意思是“我先给他写信表白”,故而应该用first.
2.feeling是知觉的意思；而feelings是感情的意思.
feelings [pl]：person's emotions rather than intellect （与理智相对而言的）感情.
