So in this advanced English lesson, we're going to look at other words to use instead of very.
I've got 20 particular examples when we can use very.
Okay.
And I'm going to give you another word or two that you could use instead.
Okay, now, some people get confused with very, what is it?
Okay, so just to explain to you what it means, very is what we call an intensifier.
Okay?
It's an intensifier.
And intensifiers are usually adverbs or adverbial phrases that are used to emphasize or to strengthen the meaning of other expressions, okay?
So, for example, I could say the weather, it is cold.
But if I want to intensify it, I can say the weather is very cold.
Or indeed, I can even say the weather is really cold.
And in that situation, very and really mean exactly the same.
Really cold, very cold.
