5 GRAMMAR 語法
Do not use very with adjectives that have ‘very’ as part of their meaning, for example ‘terrible’ (= very bad ) and ‘fascinating’ (= very interesting ). Just use the adjective, or use absolutely to emphasize it. 不要將very和已包含“非常”之意的形容詞連用，如terrible (非常糟糕的)和fascinating(非常有趣的) 。 這些形容詞單獨使用即可，或用absolutely來強調
a terrible car crash
一起非常嚴重的車禍
Do not use very on its own with verbs and prepositional phrases. Use very much. 不要將very單獨與動詞和介詞短語連用，而要用very much
I felt absolutely terrible.
我感覺糟透了 。
In more formal English, much can sometimes be used without ‘very’ before a past participle or a preposition. 在較爲正式的英語中，much有時可單獨用在過去分詞或介詞之前
