Generally is used to say things that happen most of the time example:
“Generally speaking, most English people are good at making tea”
Usually is used when they are talking about something that always happens but for some reason this time it didn’t happen for example:
“Usually, my mum makes my lunch but today she didn’t!”
Certainly is another way of saying ‘yes’, ‘yeah’ and ‘ok’ i would say it is more formal as we don’t usually use it in casual speech. It is usually used when talking to someone higher in status.
- “David please could you pass me a pen?”
- “Certainly sir”
Basically is used a lot of ways in the UK. It can be used when explaining something for example:
- “Layla, what is a night club?”
- “Basically, it’s this place where everyone goes to dance and get drunk”
But in more correct terms of speech it can be used to indicate that a statement summarizes the most important aspects, or gives a roughly accurate account, of a more complex situation. For example:
“I basically played the same thing every night”
这个答案有帮助吗?

Generally and usually are quite similar, basically can be used when you are explaining something and certainly can be used to emphasise when the speaker thinks something is true
I hope this makes a bit of sense 🤣
