Great question! These words are pretty similar to one another. To start off, "common" means something that is found or done often. "Usual" means commonly or ordinarily used or seen. "Ordinary" means normal; seen or done often; a common event. These words are pretty similar in definitions. Ex: She is an ordinary teenager. Ex: It's fairly common to see snow this time of year. Ex: I usually see her at the park.
