What does Very really mean?

Hey there! I'm here to explain the word "very" to you in the simplest way possible. "Very" is a word that we use to emphasize or intensify something. It's like when you want to say that something is really, really, really good or really, really, really big. We use "very" to make it super clear that we think something is a lot or to add extra importance to it.

For example, imagine you have a delicious chocolate chip cookie. You might say it's good, but if you add "very" in front of it, you say it's "very good," which means it's even better than just good. It's like saying it's exceptionally yummy!

Another way to understand "very" is to think about a sunny day. A sunny day can be nice, but if you say it's "very sunny," then you're saying it's extremely sunny, with no clouds in the sky, and the sun is shining so bright it's almost blinding!

So, "very" helps us to put extra emphasis on something and show that we feel or think it's a lot. It's like putting an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence. It helps us express ourselves more clearly and with stronger feelings.

I hope this explanation made sense to you. Let me know if you have any more questions!
