Learners sometimes use adverb "mighty" in formal writing, where "very" or "extremely" is better. It is also sometimes confused with "mightily", which is more formal and less common. "Mighty" as an adverb usually comes before an adjective or another adverb, not before a noun (say "a mighty big dog", not *"a mighty dog" for this adverb sense).
