to a great extent or range

In a very large way, or in many places, or in many parts.

用法模式: [someone] [verb] extensively
常见错误:
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.
近义词
greatly (Focuses on strong degree, without the idea of wide range or coverage.) | widely (Often stresses large area or many people more than amount or degree.)
反义词
slightly (Suggests only a very small degree or amount, the opposite of a great extent.) | narrowly (Suggests limited range or coverage, the opposite of covering many areas or parts.)
搭配
