Συχνό λάθος:

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners may use *a lot* or *very much* instead of *thoroughly* when they want to say something is done in a detailed way, e.g. saying *We checked the car very much* instead of *We thoroughly checked the car.* They may also place the adverb incorrectly, such as *We checked thoroughly the car*, which sounds unnatural; *We thoroughly checked the car* is preferred.

Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often replace *thoroughly* with *very* in these cases. While *very ashamed* is correct, *thoroughly ashamed* sounds stronger and slightly more formal. Some may also try to use *thoroughly* with adjectives where it is unusual (e.g. *thoroughly tall*), which sounds unnatural; it is more common with emotional or evaluative adjectives like *ashamed*, *convinced*, *bored*, *enjoyable*.
Σημασία
extremely; very much
Συνδυασμοί λέξεων
thoroughly ashamed
|thoroughly convinced
|thoroughly enjoyable
|thoroughly unpleasant
|thoroughly bored
|thoroughly miserable
Συνώνυμα
extremely (Very close in meaning; more common as a general intensifier, while *thoroughly* often suggests completeness as well.)
|
utterly (Similar strength but often used with negative or strong emotional adjectives, like *utterly ridiculous*.)
Αντώνυμα
slightly (Indicates a small degree, the opposite of the strong intensity expressed by *thoroughly*.)
