Эта тема очень сложная.
Чтобы найти различия в употребление этих слов согласно английской грамматике, рассмотрим каждое из наречий в разных контекстах.
Really
Наречие really используется для описания прилагательных, глаголов или других наречий.
NB! После местоимений (I, you, he, she, it, they, we) или любого другого подлежащего используйте really, а не very.
She really needed it — Она правда нуждалась в этом.
Karen really liked the show — Карен очень понравилось представление.
Еще really используется для выражения интереса, удивления или сомнения.
— I won $1000! — Я выиграл $1000.
— Really? — Правда?!
— She passed all the exams — Она сдала все экзамены.
— Really? — Правда?!
Very
Very используется для описания прилагательных и наречий, но не глаголов.
Когда very стоит в союзе с существительными, то выступает в роле прилагательного. В таких случаях мы переведем very как «точный», «именно такой».
She said these very words — Она сказала именно эти слова.
He might be eating at this very moment — Возможно, он ест в этот самый момент.
I liked this character from the very beginning of the story — Мне понравился герой с самого начала рассказа.
Помните, главное различие very и really в том, что very не описывает глаголы, для этого мы используем really.

Very is an overused word. Whenever you’re tempted to use it, try dropping it to see if any meaning is lost. There’s a good chance your sentence will actually benefit from its removal. There are exceptions, however, especially when very provides meaningful emphasis.
Examples
For example, consider whether these sentences really need the intensifier very:
Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but over the years the Georgia General Assembly has provided us a vast array of very entertaining and sometimes very bizarre legislative denizens. [Atlanta Journal Constitution]
After all, Coats was the pilot for the shuttle Discovery’s very first mission — the STS-41D flight that marked the beginning of the shuttle’s 27-year spaceflying career. [Fox News]
It goes without saying that almost all Western analysts and pundits know very little about Libyan rebels. [American Conservative]
Their campaign elsewhere in the Middle East, after an apparently promising start, had not been going very well. [Guardian]
In these cases, however, very serves a purpose in providing meaningful emphasis:
He’s the very English luvvie famed for his blue-blooded roles in TV shows such as Brideshead Revisited and Elizabeth I and theatre work in classic Shakespeare plays. [Daily Mail]
When they’re good, they’re very good. [White and Blue Review]
Very and past participles
An old, nearly forgotten grammar rule holds that very should not modify past-participial adjectives, as participles are derived from verbs, and very can’t modify actions. So phrases like very engrossed and very delighted are illogical because it would be impossible to say, for example, this book very engrosses readers, or you very delight me.
This might be good advice, but most 21st-century writers don’t bother with the old rule. For example, these writers use very to modify a participle:
Cobb won’t be very disappointed if he doesn’t win a state title. [NJ.com]
It’s making me feel very annoyed, threatened, unsafe and unsettled. [letter to Morning Sentinel]
There are a few easy solutions to the very-past-participle issue, if you care about pleasing old-fashioned grammarians. One is to remove very (see above). Another is to replace very with quite (which is almost as often overused as very), much, or very much—for example:
Cobb won’t be much disappointed if he doesn’t win a state title.
It’s making me feel quite annoyed, threatened, unsafe and unsettled.
But in both cases, simply dropping the intensifier might be even better.
√ Наречия степени перед прилагательными, глаголами.
√ Very и Too перед прилагательными или другими наречиями.
√ Very и Too в отрицательных предложениях.
√ Very перед глаголами.
√ Extremely, very, absolutely, completely.
√ Quite-Достаточно.
Наречия степени перед прилагательными, глаголами.
1. Наречия степени могут быть использованы перед прилагательными, глаголами, или другими наречиями, чтобы дать информацию о степени чего-то или его расширенного варианта. Сравните:
• He is interesting person.
• He is extremely interesting person.
• We like travelling by train и We really like travelling by train
• They are always early. И They are almost always early.
Сюда включают такие наречия степени как completely -полностью, fairly — довольно, quite -довольно, rather -довольно, slightly — слегка, too — тоже, totally — безусловно, very (much) — очень (очень).
Very и Too перед прилагательными или другими наречиями.
Перед прилагательными или другими наречиями мы используем very в значении » очень», и too, когда мы подразумеваем » слишком «. Сравните:
• The summer was very cold in Belarus. Not good for swimming, (not …too cold…) and
• It’s too cold to walk through the forest — let’s stay inside, (not …very cold…)
Very и Too в отрицательных предложениях.
Однако в неофициальном разговорном английском, особенно в отрицательных предложениях, мы можем иногда использовать » too » примерно том же значении, что и » very»:
• S is not very/too worried about who comes.
• It’s not very/too cold today, is it?
Very much and very.
Мы не используем very перед глаголами, но мы можем использовать Very much, перед некоторыми глаголами, чтобы подчеркнуть, что мы чувствуем по поводу чего-то:
• Victor very much agreed with our choice, (not …very agree…)
• Marcus (very) much enjoyed having a good time with my sister. (not …very enjoyed…)
Very перед глаголами.
К глаголам такого типа относятся:
Agree, — согласен, doubt — сомневаться, fear — страшиться, hope — надеется, like — как, want – хотеть, admire – восхищаться, appreciate — ценить, enjoy — радоваться, и regret — сожаление.
Мы можем использовать very much или much (но не very) c последними четырьмя глаголами:
Мы можем использовать very, но не (very) much перед причастием и прилагательным
They were very disturbed to tell her the news, (not They were very much disturbed…)
His work was very disappointing, (not I His work is very much disappointing.)
Тем не менее, мы используем very much, но не very перед причастием прошедшего времени, которое является частью пассивного залога:
• The books you brought were very much needed.
Extremely, very, absolutely, completely.
Extremely –крайне, очень, very — очень, absolutely — абсолютно, completely – полностью.
Мы обычно используем extremely –крайне, very — очень и др. с градальными (которые употребляются в степени сравнения) прилагательными и absolutely — абсолютно, completely – полностью, и др. с неградальными (которые не употребляются в степенях сравнения) прилагательными. Здесь более наречия, как и эти прилагательные, которые обычно вслед за ними:
+ gradable adjective
extremely…effective, difficult, hard
dreadfully…angry, disappointed, sorry
hugely…entertaining, enjoyable, successful
+ ungradable adjective
absolutely…clear, necessary, sure, true
simply…awful, enormous, terrible
• utterly…exhausted, unbearable, unrecognisable
Quite-Достаточно.
Quite имеет два значения: в той или иной мере, но не » очень » (=»довольно»); и, в значительной степени, или ‘очень’ (= ‘полностью’). Сравните:
We are quite satisfied with our results. (= ‘fairly’) and
• Yes, my friends are quite right’. (= ‘completely’)
Когда quite используется с неградальными прилагательными, это означает ‘полностью’:
• ‘My friends are coming till the next Friday’. Are you quite sure?

Just like many words in the English language, the word ”very” also serves a double function. It can be used as an adverb or an adjective depending on the context.
- Adverb
This word is categorized as an adverb if it is used to modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb in a particular sentence. Furthermore, this adverb is typically used to emphasize that something is of a high degree or intensity. For instance, in the sample sentence below:
She worked very quickly.
The word “very” is considered as an adverb because it modifies another adverb “quickly.”
Definition:
a. to a great degree
- Example:
- It is the very best store in the city.
- Adjective
There are also other times wherein the word “very” is considered as an adjective because it can modify a noun. When used as an adjective, this word typically means “exact” or “precise.” Take for example, the sentence:
Those were her very words.
The word “very” is categorized under adjectives because it describes the noun “words.”
Definition:
a. actual; precise
- Example:
- I found it at the very heart of the city.
b. being the same one
- Example:
- That is the very woman you were looking for.
c. emphasizing an extreme point in time or space
- Example:
- I knew it from the very beginning of the movie.

Very is used to give emphasis to an adjective or adverb. You use very to give emphasis to an adjective that is not usually graded, when you want to say that a quality is very obvious. [emphasis] Janet looked very pregnant.
Why greenhouse effect is called greenhouse?
In short: it is the natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. The process is called the greenhouse effect because the exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the planet works in a similar way to a greenhouse. The sun shines through the Earth’s atmosphere and the earth’s surface warms up.
What happens when carbon dioxide gets trapped in the atmosphere?
Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat similar to the glass roof of a greenhouse. These heat-trapping gases are called greenhouse gases. At night, Earth’s surface cools, releasing heat back into the air. But some of the heat is trapped by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Which gas released in the atmosphere creates a greenhouse effect trapping the heat?
carbon dioxide
When should I use the?
Use “the” with any noun when the meaning is specific; for example, when the noun names the only one (or one) of a kind. Adam was the first man (the only ‘first man’). New York is the largest city in the United States (only one city can be ‘the largest’). We live on the earth (the only Earth we know).
Is it A or an uniform?
The word uniform begins with a palatal approximant /j/. The palatal approximant is a consonantal sound, even though the letter itself is a vowel. Since we use the pronunciation of the word following the article to determine whether we use “a” or “an”, and because it is pronounced starting with a consonant, we use “a”.
Is it a hour or an hour?
For those words that are written with the first letter as a consonant, but which are pronounced with the first letter as a vowel, such as “hour” and “herb,” the correct way to present them in a written document (e.g. your scientific manuscript written in American English) is: “An hour” and “An herb.”
What is called uniform?
A uniform is a type of clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization’s activity. In some countries, some other officials also wear uniforms in their duties; such is the case of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service or the French prefects.
Why do we use an hour instead of a hour?
An hour is the correct one. It is because in the word hour the letter h is not pronounced, therefore when hour is pronounced the first letter sounds like a vowel sound. a) when the first letter of a word is a consonant or sounds like consonant the indefinite article a lies in front of the word.
How do you spell hour?
Correct spelling for the English word “hour” is [ˈa͡ʊ͡ə], [ˈaʊə], [ˈaʊə] (IPA phonetic alphabet)….16 words made out of letters HOUR
- or,
- oh,
- hr,
- ru,
- ro,
- ho,
- ur,
- uh,
Why is it called an hour?
Name. Hour is a development of the Anglo-Norman houre and Middle English ure, first attested in the 13th century. It displaced tide tīd, “time” and stound stund, span of time. The Anglo-Norman term was a borrowing of Old French ure, a variant of ore, which derived from Latin hōra and Greek hṓrā (ὥρα).
Is it 2 hour or 2 hours?
“I walked for two hours” is used as a NOUN; on the other hand, “I did a two hour walk” is used as an adjective. we can add an “s” to a noun, but not to an adjective.
