!Common mistakes 3
✗ The food was extremely delicious.

Delicious is already a strong adjective, so it pairs with absolutely, and not with extremely.
'Delicious' पहले से प्रबल adjective है, इसलिए वह 'absolutely' के साथ आता है, 'extremely' के साथ नहीं।
✗ He extremely likes cricket.
✓ He likes cricket very much.
Extremely modifies adjectives and adverbs, not ordinary verbs like like.
'Extremely' adjectives और adverbs को modify करता है, 'like' जैसे सामान्य verbs को नहीं।
✗ She is extreme kind.

§Grammar and usage
Usage: extremely is used with ordinary gradable adjectives such as hot, useful and difficult, not with words that already mean 'very', so do not say 'extremely excellent'.
Usage में extremely का प्रयोग hot, useful और difficult जैसे सामान्य gradable adjectives के साथ होता है, उन शब्दों के साथ नहीं जिनमें पहले से 'बहुत' का अर्थ है, इसलिए 'extremely excellent' न कहें।
