immensely [adjective]
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes use "immensely" in places where it sounds too strong or formal for everyday speech, where "very" or "really" would be more natural. Another common mistake is word order: it is more natural to say "immensely important" or "helped me immensely" than "immensely it is important".
