very

adverbadjectivever · y

Think: “VERy = VERy much”—the word starts with VER and ends with a simple Y.

Yes, it's very. Don’t add an extra E at the end—it's v-e-r-y, not *verey*.

Definitions

  1. adverbTo a high degree; extremely.
  2. adjectiveExact or precise; the same one being talked about (used for emphasis), as in “the very same.”

Examples

  • The soup is very hot, so let it cool before you eat it.
  • That is the very book I was looking for.
  • I’m very proud of how hard you practiced.
