常見錯誤

❌The project was tremendously done.
✅The project was done tremendously well.
💡'tremendously' alone cannot modify a passive verb; it needs an adjective like 'well' or it must modify an active verb like 'improved'.
❌I am tremendously.
✅I am tremendously grateful.
💡'tremendously' on its own cannot complete a sentence; it must modify an adjective or verb.
