Mẫu sử dụng:
excessively [adjective]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often confuse "excessively" with "very" or "extremely." "Excessively" usually has a negative idea of "too much," while "very" and "extremely" can be positive or neutral (e.g., "very happy"). Another mistake is using double intensifiers like "very excessively," which sounds unnatural; use only one intensifier.
Từ đồng nghĩa

Từ trái nghĩa
