Пояснения к тексту.
She likes languages very much. Она очень любит иностранные языки. Русскому слову очень, когда оно относиться к прилагательному или наречию, соответствует английское very.
- a very good book – очень хорошая книга.
- He reads very well – Он очень хорошо читает.
Если слово очень относиться к глаголу, ему соответствует английское very much, которое может стоять как после глагола, к которому оно относится, так и перед ним.
- We very much want to go there. } Мы очень хотим пойти туда.
- We want to go there very much. }
