Description

Imagine your favorite dessert, maybe it's chocolate cake. If that cake is tremendously delicious, it means it is not just good, but very, very good. "Tremendously" adds strong emphasis. It tells you that something is felt, done, or true to a very great degree. You might feel tremendously proud of your child, or a movie might be tremendously popular. Think of it as a simple way to add extra force to what you are saying.
