In actuality

Dear teachers

Are these sentences correct English?

  • No, in actuality, she drove off as he yelled at her.
  • There is, in actuality, a solution to your problem.
  • My not liking her did upset some people, in actuality.
In all these sentences I presumed 'in actuality' meant 'actually'.

Many thanks

'actuality' means the quality or state of being actual or something that is actual. But I cannot guarantee that your sentences are gramatically correct. Prajwal

All three are grammatically correct but the third one is so odd sounding that I don't think you would ever actually hear anyone say it.
