غلطة شائعة:
Learners sometimes use *overly* where *very* or *too* is better. *Overly* is usually used before adjectives with a negative or critical idea ("overly sensitive", "overly strict"), and it often sounds more formal than *too*. Avoid saying "very overly" (e.g. "very overly excited"), which is redundant. Also avoid using *overly* directly before nouns (say "overly strict rules", not "overly rules").
