Grammar notes

We cannot use very with comparative adjectives. Instead, we use much, far, very much, a lot, lots, rather, a little, a bit etc.

That would be a bit more sensible. (NOT That would be very more sensible.)

In the same way, we cannot use much with positive adjectives. We cannot, for example, say He is much intelligent. Instead, we say: He is very intelligent.

We do not usually use very to modify superlative adjectives. Instead, we use much or by far. But note that very can be used to emphasize superlatives. It is also used with first, next and last.
