பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes think ‘awfully’ is always negative because it looks like ‘awful’. In this sense, it can be used with both positive and negative adjectives (e.g. ‘awfully nice’, ‘awfully bad’). They also sometimes overuse it in formal writing, where ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ is usually better.

very; extremely (intensifier)

Learners sometimes confuse this sense with the ‘very; extremely’ sense and use ‘awfully’ before an adjective when they really mean ‘in a very bad way’. For example, ‘He was awfully to me’ is incorrect; it should be ‘He treated me awfully’ or ‘He was awful to me.’
