very

　　[误] Thank you indeed.

　　[正] Thank you very much indeed.

　　[析] indeed用来修饰very much, 但要放其后面，而且也不要单独使用。

　　[误] The baby was very asleep.

　　[正] The baby was fast asleep.

　　[析] 不是所有的形容词都可以用very来修饰，如： Im wide awake. (我全醒了。)再如： all alone(十分孤独)，much afraid等。

　　[误] The thing seems to be very improved.

　　[正] The thing seems to be much improved.

　　[析] 有些语法书讲very修饰现在分词，而much修饰过去分词，这要分别对待。如果过去分词是指一个具体的动作，而且是句中主要动词的一部分就必须用much，而某些形容词化的过去分词，还是要用very来修饰的，如： I am very tired.

　　[误] There is very less water in the river than usual.

　　[正] There is much/far less water in the river than usual.

　　[析] very不能修饰形容词或副词的比较级，而要用far, much等来修饰。
