3. Actual usage of some words
Hi guys!
Today I want to ask u one an interesting question. Every teacher tolds us, that the word "very" is the bad practise and we should use sinonims like: very hot - scorching/scalding etc.
Is it true? Are people in native speaking countries use that words in real conversations? I guess that these words are specific terms mostly.
I`m looking forward to seeing your responds and corrections of this post.
Ciao ciao! (yeah, I start learning Italian :D )

Very hot (weather) - scorching.
Very hot (water etc.) - scalding.

Yes what Chris said, is correct. There are daily colloquialisms that can be used in some instances. very hot for weather is a common example. You can also, occasionally replace very with. "so'" or a few other word. you can still use very. It is not bad. "it's scorching hot today" = same as"it's very hot today"
