What does woefully mean?

"Woefully" means in a way that is full of sorrow or misery or in a way that is extremely bad or inadequate.

Here are some examples:

* "The team played woefully, making numerous mistakes and losing the game." (meaning they played extremely badly)

* "The company's financial situation is woeful, with dwindling profits and mounting debts." (meaning the situation is extremely bad)

* "The children were woefully unprepared for the school trip." (meaning they were extremely lacking in preparation)

The word "woeful" often implies a sense of sadness or despair, and it can also be used to describe something that is lacking in quality or effectiveness.
