properly

--feedback--

This word means in the correct or appropriate way.

--explanation--

Properly is the adverb form of the adjective proper. Both words can express doing something in the correct or suitable manner, but their usage differs depending on the sentence structure. For example:

• The application didn't function properly after the update. - This means the updates brought errors to the code. The adverb properly modifies the verb function.

• This wasn't a proper configuration of the database. - The adjective proper describes the noun configuration.

Here, James uses properly to describe that the system wasn't connecting to the database in the correct way.
