When "very" modifys an adjective???
Sometimes I’m confused on the usage of the adverbs like very, so much, very much, too, too much, a little, quite, and a little bit. I mean, when modifying adjectives.
1) She is very beautiful / She is beautiful so much/ She is beautiful very much/ She is too beautiful / She is too much beautiful
2) She is not very beautiful/ She is not beautiful so much
3) She is a little beautiful / She is quite beautiful
4) She is not a little beautiful / She is not beautiful even a little / She is not quite beautiful/
5) She is a little bit beautiful
6) She is not a little bit beautiful / She is not even a little bit beautiful
Could you pick up the wrong expressions for my understanding? Thank you in advance for your teaching.

1. Only "She is very beautiful." and "She is too beautiful." are correct. The other three are ungrammatical.
2. The first one is okay. The second is ungrammatical.
3. Only the second is correct.
4. The three are possible, but the first two are unusual and would be rarely used.
5. This is theoretically possible, but would almost never be used.
