| Phrase | very |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "very" is used to emphasize the word that follows it: "Aren't those the very clothes that you were wearing yesterday?" Or, "The very moment he saw Evelyn, he knew he wanted to marry her." The phrase "one's very own" emphasizes that something belongs to oneself and to no one else: "Karina was only 23 years old when she bought her very own home." The phrase "the very thought of (something)" or "the very idea of (something)" means just suggesting something: "The very idea of losing my job makes me feel sick." Finally, the formal phrase "very well" indicates that one agrees to do something: "Very well, I'll help you move on Friday, but you have to return the favor when I move next year." |
