Hi Alpheccastars,

Thaks for your reply.

I have one more question here. In this example (Thank you very very much), adverb comes three times continuously (very very much). Is it possible 'adverb' can come at any no of times continuously?

Thanks,

Ramesh.N

You can repeat it as many times as you like; English grammar has no limitations on the number of sequential adverbs.

However, repeating very more than twice in this sentence would get rather trite and hackneyed, inciting boredom and insincerity, so would be bad style.
