Verwendungsmuster:
enormously [adjective/adverb]
Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes confuse 'enormously' (adverb) with 'enormous' (adjective). Use 'enormously' before adjectives or other adverbs (e.g., 'enormously difficult', 'enormously fast'), and 'enormous' before nouns (e.g., 'an enormous house'). Another mistake is putting it in an unnatural position, such as *'He enormously is happy.' It should come before the adjective: 'He is enormously happy.'

Antonyme
slightly (Indicates only a small amount or degree, the opposite of 'very great degree'.)
