Hello Rabbi Wong!
 
A lot of my students have problems with this! Don't worry too much about it. If you want to know a bit more about the grammar, here is a page about verb patterns. We also have a page about verbs that take infinitives and verbs that take gerunds. Also, try watching our Johnny Grammar video about gerunds and infinitives!
 
Hope that helps!

Hello Sam!

So is basically the same as very when it's used with an adjective or an adverb. Don't forget you can check the meanings of words using our online dictionary!

Hope that helps
