Patrón de uso:
enormously [adjective/adverb]
Error frecuente:
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.'
