!Common mistakes 3
✗ The Pacific Ocean is very immense.
✓ The Pacific Ocean is immense.
'Immense' already means extremely large, so it cannot be intensified with 'very'.
'Immense' का अर्थ ही अत्यंत विशाल है, इसलिए उसके साथ 'very' नहीं लगता।
✗ We enjoyed the match immense.
✓ We enjoyed the match immensely.
A verb is modified by an adverb, so 'immensely' is needed, not the adjective.
क्रिया को adverb विशेषित करता है, इसलिए 'immensely' चाहिए, adjective 'immense' नहीं।
✗ He has a immense respect for his teacher.
✓ He has immense respect for his teacher.
'Respect' is uncountable here, so no article is used; 'a' before 'immense' is also wrong because it begins with a vowel sound.
यहाँ 'respect' uncountable है, इसलिए article नहीं आता; और 'immense' से पहले 'a' गलत है, 'an' चाहिए।
