 Re: Which way is correct?
Very much can't be used with adjectives (like hungry). Much is used with uncountable nouns - I haven't got very much money - while very many is the equivalent for countable nouns - He hasn't got very many friends.
With adjectives you just use an adverb - very, really, desperately etc - so the conversation should be :
A: Are you hungry now?
B1: (Yes, but... or No,) Not very.
or
B2: (No,) Not really.
or
B3: (Yes, but...or (No) Not desperately.
etc etc. The words in brackets are optional. |
