خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use "vastly" like "very" before a normal adjective, for example *"vastly big"* or *"vastly happy"*. This sounds unnatural. "Vastly" is usually used with comparative forms ("vastly better", "vastly more", "vastly higher") or with adjectives like "different", "superior", "improved". Learners may also put it in the wrong place in the sentence; it normally comes directly before the comparative or past participle it modifies.
