    The many textures of VERY

    We all know that very is used to emphasize an adjective. For example, I am VERY cold. However in this episode I want to teach you that there are different ways of saying VERY. In fact, almost every adjective has its own “word” that replaces very. This adds an extra punch to what you are saying.
