误 He was very afraid of being late.
正 He was much afraid of being late.
析afraid表示“很害怕”时,可以加much修饰,但不可加very。不过,在much afraid之前却可以再加very进一步加强语气,特别是在I'm afraid 相当于I'm sorry 时,更常用very much修饰。例如：
I'm very much afraid he's out.非常抱歉,他不在家。我比你更怕他。
误 I am afraider of him than you.
正 I am more afraid of him than you.
他的儿子中小的最怕黑。
