El uso de ‘VERY‘ como adjetivo
Generalmente solemos usar ‘VERY’ como adverbio para enfatizar un adjetivo:
?
✔️James is VERY tall
✔️This book is VERY good
?
Pero en lenguaje oral también se suele usar ‘VERY’ como adjetivo, es decir que acompaña directamente al nombre y lo enfatiza.
Es por eso que frases tipo: “She did it in front of my VERY eyes” pueden sonar raras si no estamos acostumbrados a escucharlo ?
