1.very 的用法
very主要修飾形容詞或副詞：
The dictionary is very useful.這本詞典很有用.
He drove very fast.他的車開得很快.
注：修飾副詞 too(太),要用 much.如：
It is much too expensive.這太貴了.
2.much 的用法
much主要修飾動詞,而且除非其前有very,too,so 等修飾語,它只用于否定句和疑問句：
She doesn't like him much.她不太喜歡他.
She likes him very much.他很喜歡他.
注意：(1)不帶修飾語的much有時也可能在肯定句修飾動詞,但這只限于 regret,admire,prefer,appreciate 等少數(shù)動詞,且此時的 much 應置于句中,而不是句末：
We much appreciate your invitation.我們非常感激你的邀請.
(2) much 除修飾動詞外,還可修飾比較級和最高級以及介詞短語等：
He is much better today.他今天好多了.
This is much the most difficult.這是最最困難的.
Much to my surprise,he was a thief.使我大為吃驚的是,他是個賊.
注：very 有時也可修飾最高級 (注意在句中的位置).如：
This is the very lowest price.這是最低最低的價格.
(3) 修飾過去分詞,通常用 much,不用 very.但修飾已經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)化成形容詞的過去分詞,或形容詞性質(zhì)較強的過去分詞 (如過去分詞作定語時),則可用 very.如：
I was much surprised at the news.聽到這個消息我非常吃驚.
Her face wore a very surprised expression.她臉上露出很吃驚的表情.
3.very much 的用法
very much是 much 的強調(diào)說法,從理論上說,可用 much 的地方,原則上也可 very much.
