Superb job, congrats! ))

The second or the first is not important! “Did you understand the lesson?” – that us the importance in each lesson! :D I don’t want to be vulgar just… :P

My homework :)
very lazy, very famous, very nice, very big, very well
very big (enormous)
hi there, Jarek I looked up these words, it was rather challenging but I found better substitutes. I hope you like them as much as I do.
very lazy -> I found out that we can also use dull as a substitute for very lazy
for example, I feel rather dull today witch means I’m lazy today
very famous -> well-known
very nice -> wonderful
very big -> huge
as for very well it s depend on the context
Please correct me if I have made any mistakes
very small–tiny
very bigg–gigantic
very immpossible– utopian
very large —huge
very nice —pleasant
This is a superb lesson…. and James you’re my idol ^^
You can say large meeting but you can’t say huge meeting, so very large is not equal to huge ?
i think huge is equal to big we say a huge problem to mean that’s big
the dont use pleasant , utopian dont use it if u dont wanna see dull
Iam not jubilant because I got only 80 for this quiz
Ihave really appreciatedthis enrichment writing lesson.
Thanks James, a smile.

Hi James,
Thanks for your superb lesson! It was one of the most interesting and educational lessons for me. I’m sure many of other English learners benefit from the lesson. Hope you are well when it gets freezing in winter in Canada. I have to go now to have some food because I am ravenous now!
I got 9 out of 10.
Question 5 is my mistake.
I pressed the wrong word. But I still know that word is rapid.
No! Wait, I mean, the question 5 said Freddie was ________ after fasting for three days on an extreme diet. I clicked ravelous, not rapid. I am right.
So I’m actually got 10 out of 10.

Fruitful information how to use effective words by replacing very. I am visiting this website since 2 months. I have improved my knowledge a lot and overcome my common mistakes which I was doing before. I found the teachers are amazing and have great ability to explain something precisely. Teaching with perfect accents which is loud and clear for everyone.
You are so funny James. It is great to learn something from you. You have superb emotions. Thanks a lot.
thank you very much!!

this is a superb lesson
My performance was superb,I got 100%
Hey ??♀️ I got ?. My homework is :
very bad
very sad
very nice
very well
very important
P. S. I want to add something. When I feel uncomfortable while using very with adjectives,if I couldn’t remember these words I change “very” itself instead of changing whole adverb phrases. I use “so / pretty / super / too” like pretty hot, super cool, too bad or so sad. It might be a trick and I accept that. However I’ll do my best to use these fabulous words to make my conversation more professional ones. I am so grateful for your help, thank you.
Best regards,
Öznur
