 [wptabcontent]455 Very and Too.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] 455 Very and Too.
(a) Very.
Don't say: It's too hot in Rome in the summer.
Say: It's very hot in Rome in the summer.
(b) Too.
Don't say:  It's now very hot to  play football.
Say: It's now too hot to  play football.
Very simply makes the adjective or adverb stronger. Too means more than 
enough, or so much that something else happens as a result. [/wptabcontent]

 [wptabcontent]456  Very and Much.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] (a) Very.
Don't say:  He's a much strong man.
It's a much  interesting book.
Say: He's a very  strong man.
It's a very interesting book.
(b) Much.
Don't say: He's very stronger than I am.
Say:  He's much stronger than I  am.

Use very with adjectives and adverbs in the positive, and with present participles
 used as adjectives like interesting. Use much with comparatives. [/wptabcontent]

 [wptabcontent]458  Before  for Ago.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say: I  saw your friend  before two  weeks.
Say: I saw your friend two weeks ago.
We use ago in counting from the time of speaking to a point in the past; half an hour ago,
 three days ago, four months ago, five years ago, a long time ago. We use before in counting
 from a distant to a nearer point in the past. Napoleon died in 1821, he had lost
 the battle of Waterloo six years before.
Note: When we use ago, the verb is always in the simple past tense: He came five minutes ago.

 [wptabcontent]459  Hardly for  Hard.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say: She rubbed her eyes hardly.
Say: She  rubbed her eyes hard.

Hard means severely. Hardly means not quite or scarcely: The baby can
hardly walk. [/wptabcontent]

 [wptabcontent]460  No so for Not very.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say: I hear that he's not so rich.
Say: I hear that he's not very rich.

We can't use not so in the sense of not very. The expression He's not so rich
implies a comparison: He's nor so rich as you are. [/wptabcontent]


 [wptabcontent]461 Just now for Presently, etc.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say: The messenger will  arrive just now.
Say: The messenger will arrive presently.
If we are speaking of a near and immediate future time, we must use presently, immediately,
 in a minute, or soon  Just now refers to present or past time, and not to future time: 
He's not at home just now (= at this moment). He left just now (= a little time ago). [/wptabcontent]

 [wptabcontent]462  Presently  for  At  present.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say: His uncle is in London presently.
Say: His uncle is in London at present.
At present and presently are not synonymous. At present means now, but
presently means soon: She will come back presently (= soon). [/wptabcontent]

 [wptabcontent]463  Scarcely  for  Rarely.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say: Zoe scarcely comes to see me now.
Say: Zoe rarely comes to see me now.

Scarcely isn't synonymous with rarely  Rarely means not often, scarcely
means not quite: / had scarcely finished when he came.
 [/wptabcontent]

 [wptabcontent]464  Lately  for  Late.[/wptabcontent]
    [wptabcontent] Don't say:  Last night I went to bed lately.
Say: Last night I went to bed late.

The opposite of early is late, not lately. Lately means in recent times:
/ haven't been there lately.
