a very
Hello,
1. He is a good boy. Ok.
2. He is a very good boy.
Is (2) correct?
I know that if there is a countable noun and being modified by an adjective, we put a or an based on the sound of the adjective.
What about the if an adjective is being modified by an adverb as in given above(2).?
Thanks.

He is a very good boy is correct. What else could it be? He is an extremely fast runner -- this is fine too.
