If you’ve been saying very good, very important, or very tired—you’re doing great. But here’s something native speakers often do:
✨ They upgrade “very” to something smoother and more natural.
🌱 Here’s a simple way to grow your vocabulary and sound more confident:
Swap “very + adjective” for one strong, expressive word.
Try these gentle upgrades:
🔹 Very good → Excellent
🔹 Very important → Essential
🔹 Very tired → Exhausted
🔹 Very smart → Brilliant
🔹 Very big → Massive
🔹 Very clean → Spotless
🔹 Very fast → Rapid
You don’t have to memorize them all at once.
Just pick one or two to try in a sentence this week.
✨ Example:
Instead of “That’s very important,” try:
“That’s essential to the success of our project.”
You’ll sound more natural—and more professional—without losing your style.
