Can somebody explain me the meaning of "very", by giving me simple examples.

Regards

Very indicates intensity of the adjetive whith whom it appears

"very pretty" is more than just being "pretty"

You can say "thank you" , but if you say "thank you very much" it emphasizes the idea of being grateful.

It accompanies adjectives, usually specifying non - countable nouns.

Did it help a little bit or VERY MUCH?

Regards

I forgot to say it also accompanies adverbs, like in the examples "very much"
