Default Re: Which way is correct?

Hi, susan,

Question1:

Could it also mean 'somewhere between yes and no'? (from https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...8112159AAhEsa1)

Could you please give an example of the meaning above if 'not really' can mean that?

Qustion2:

A: Did you miss the meeting?
B:Not exactly/Not really. I got there five minutes before it finished.

Can I use 'not really' instead of 'not exactly' in this example above?
Is there any difference between these two expressions here?

Thanks for your help.
