用法パターン：
[someone] [verb] extensively
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "extensively" with "intensively". "Extensively" talks about great amount, range, or coverage (many places, many parts, a lot of something), while "intensively" means with very strong effort or focus in a small area or short time. For example, "He studied extensively" means he studied a lot or over a wide area or many topics; "He studied intensively" means he studied very hard and with strong focus.
類義語

対義語
