You've probably heard this advice: stop saying very in English. Use stronger words instead. In this episode, I'll tell you why the answer is no. Words like very, really, so, and super are called intensifiers. They make an idea stronger, and native speakers use them every day. So let's talk about how these words are different from words like exhausted, hectic, and furious. Plus, how to choose the word that says what you mean, and how "not very" can make a negative comment softer.
