8. 昨晚这座房子里就我一人。
误：I was very alone in the house last night .正：I was all alone in the house last night .
四、忌用来加强副词或介词短语的语气，加强副词或介词短语的语气一般用right，有时用well.very只能用来加强形容词的语气。例如：

11. 这件衬衫我穿起来太大了。
误：This shirt is very too large for me .正：This shirt is much too large for me .
12. 我们的英语老师讲话太快了
误：Our English teacher speaks very too fast .正：Our English teacher speaks all too fast .
六、忌替代“so…that…”，“too…to…”结构中的so和too.例如：
13. 他年龄非常小，不能去工作。
误：He is very young to go to work .正：He is too young to go to work .
14. 我非常累，一点也走不动了
误：I‘m very tired that I can’t walk a bit .正：I‘m so tired that I can’t walk a bit .
七、忌出现在感叹句中，以免与感叹词重复。例如：
15. 多么糟糕的天气啊！
误：What very bad weather ！
正：What bad weather ！
16. 同学们干得多么带劲啊 ！
误：How very hard the students are working ！
正：How hard the students are working !
