| Pattern | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| really + adjective | 非常、很(加強形容詞程度) | The movie was really interesting. (這部電影非常有趣。) |
| really + adverb | 非常、很(加強副詞程度) | She sings really well. (她唱得非常好。) |
| really + verb | 真的、確實(強調動詞) | I really appreciate your help. (我真的非常感謝你的幫助。) |
| do + not + really + verb | 不怎麼、不太(委婉否定) | I don't really like spicy food. (我不太喜歡辣的食物。) |
| really? (as a question) | 真的嗎?(表示驚訝或懷疑) | "I won the lottery." "Really?" (「我中了樂透。」「真的嗎?」) |

would really like to + V 或 need really to + V,表達強烈的願望或必要性。would really like 後必須接 to V,這是固定搭配,不可使用 V-ing。need 或 have 後,really 的位置可能影響語意焦點,但 to V 的形式不變。對比範例: EN: I really enjoy swimming in the ocean. 翻譯: 我真的很享受在海裡游泳。
EN:I would really like to swim in the ocean someday.
翻譯:我真的很希望有一天能去海裡游泳。
EN:She doesn't really like cooking every day.
翻譯:她並非真的喜歡每天做飯。
EN:She needs really to concentrate on her work now.
翻譯:她現在真的需要專注於工作。
一般來說,表達「真的喜歡/享受」某活動時用 really + V-ing;表達「真的想要/需要」去做某事時則用 really + to V,尤其是在 would really like to 的固定句型中。

EN:That was really, really good.
