what words to use instead of very?

we are going to answer this frequently asked question with the help of 150 words list

Can we use so instead of Very?

Yes, you can use “so” as a substitute for “very” in many cases. “So” is an intensifier that can be used to emphasize the degree or extent of something, just like “very.”

For example, instead of saying “That cake is very delicious,” you could say “That cake is so delicious.” Both sentences convey the same meaning, but the second sentence emphasizes the degree of deliciousness more strongly.

However, it’s worth noting that “so” is a more informal and conversational word compared to “very,” which is more formal and commonly used in writing. Additionally, “so” is often used in the context of informal speech or slang, so it may not be appropriate to use in all situations.

What can I use instead of very much?

There are many words and phrases that you can use instead of “very much,” depending on the context and the intensity of what you want to express. Here are some alternatives:

Extremely: This is a more intense alternative to “very much.” For example, instead of saying “I’m grateful for your help very much,” you could say “I’m extremely grateful for your help.”

Highly: This is another option to express a high level of intensity. For example, instead of saying “I recommend this book very much,” you could say “I highly recommend this book.”
