adjective

The word "actual" has a few different meanings in English, but the most common ones are:

Real or genuine: This is the opposite of "fake" or "artificial." For example, you could say "This is an actual diamond, not a fake one."
Existing in fact: This means that something is true or has happened. For example, you could say "The crime was an actual event, not just a story."
Present or current: This means that something is happening now or is the most recent thing to happen. For example, you could say "The actual time is 10:00 AM."

Example

1. I saw the actual event with my own eyes.
2. We only have the actual facts, not speculation.
3. His actual age is a secret.
