Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "verily" with the modern word "very" because they look similar. However, "verily" does not mean "to a high degree"; it means "truly" or "certainly" and is old-fashioned or biblical. In modern everyday English, learners should normally use "truly", "really", or "indeed" instead of "verily".
