Como usar Very Much

Hmm, indeed not. It´s not a rule written in stone.
Very much is way more often found, this is a fact and it´s grammatically OK.
Very much in-between or in the beggining of the sentence is, perhaps, more tricky; because it brings more information, it doesn´t ends the flow of information. Many people would think of it as informal or colloquial, tough.
So, in small talking or in informal way, I would say you can use it freely.

From the Web:
I very much love this web site.
I very much love this thread.
I very much love him but I love myself, too.
I very much love your quotes.
I do own a Nook and I very much love it.
I have been a happily married man for several years now and I very much love my wife.

But I also want to know if I can use after the verb and before some noun, some adverb, or some pronoun like I use in this example:
"He likes very much his English classes"

Thank you so much; (:

Complemento:

Alguém me disse que p "very much" só pode ser usado no final das frases como por exemplo:
" I like you very much."
E que não pode ser usado no meio como por exemplo:
"He likes very much his English classes."

Sim, esta é uma boa dica. A opção "he likes very much his English classes" não é muito natural. Diga então: "he likes his English classes very much" ou mais informalmente "he likes his English classes a lot.''

Mais exemplos:

I don't like my old books very much. [Eu não gosto muito dos meus livros velhos.]
They didn't talk about it very much. [Eles não falaram muito sobre isto.]

Donay Mendonça,
Eu até pensei em colocar neste formato que você descreveu.
mas o que eu queria saber é que mesmo não sendo "muito natural" é errado colocar no meio da frase, se não podemos de jeito nenhum colocar no meio da frase.
Thanx! (:

errado colocar no meio da frase, se não podemos de jeito nenhum colocar no meio da frase?

Sim, é incorreto. Não aconselho de jeito nenhum, em exemplos como o que foi dado:

''He likes very much his English classes."

Eu não vejo nada de errado com a frase, acho que depende no que tu quer por ênfase. Por exemplo, 2 pessoas argumentando.

Speaker 1 : He doesn't seem to like his English classes anymore, so why waste his parents money then?
Speaker 2 : NO way, where did you get that from? he likes VERY MUCH his English classes.

Onde very much da ênfase ou fato de que ele realmente gosta das aulas de Inglês.

peace!

Thank you very much guys!
Rakell, your answer was the best one, but I appreciate aevery answer and help.
Now I won't make no more mistakes.

De acordo com a gramática do Murphy, entre outras, a posição correta é como o Donay colocou.
Veja outros exemplos:
Everybody enjoyed the party very much( not " Everybody enjoyed very much the party)
A questão que impede a colocação de "very much" entre o verbo e o objeto, aqui neste caso e na frase que foi usada como exemplo: he likes very much his English classes é a regra gramatical da ordem das palavras : que no caso é verb + object (nenhuma palavra deve ser colocada entre o verbo e o objeto)
Quanto a ênfase desejada nesses dois casos específicos usa-se does/ did para essa função.
He does like his English classes very much.
Everybody did enjoy the party very much.
Acho que é isso.

Oh well, that's a pretty solid explanation, I doubt anyone could argue against it that's probably an example of things people often times say it even though it's wrong! I don't teach English, neither I remember last time I had English, or Portuguese for that matter, as a subject so I'm not self conscious of the rules ( I'm not even sure I remember any ) whilst writing or speaking I just kinda know things as they are

chuurr!

Gian, I think you were talking about this use of " very much":


We can use "very much" before some verbs to emphasise how we feel about things.
• I very much agree with the decision, (NOT...I agree very much with...)
• We very much enjoyed having you stay with us. (NOT ...we enjoyed very much having ...)

Some verbs we can use this way are: agree, doubt, fear, hope, like, want; and also admire, appreciate, enjoy and regret.
Note:
We cannot use very much before participle adjectives, but we can use very :
• She was very disturbed to hear the news,( NOT... She was very much disturbed...)
• It's very disappointing, (NOT... It's very much disappointing.)

However, we use (very) much but not very before a past participle which is part of a passive: • The new by-pass was (very) much needed.

"Would", "could" and "should" can be added in there as well:
• I am sure you would very much like to liberate yourself from your heavy burden and make a new beginning.
• We could very much use your help right now.
• Choose the right tool for the job: The device in my opinion should very much depend on what you would like to achieve.

"Can" and "will" too:
• I can very much relate to most of what you're saying.
• I am basically trying to say that we, as a family, will very much enjoy your presence in Istambul.

And check Google for examples of

"they seemed very much in"
"they seemed very much to"

"they wanted very much to"
