Immense is frequently used to describe abstract qualities such as 'potential' or 'pride' rather than just physical dimensions. It is a strong adjective, so it is rarely used with modifiers like 'very'.

Learners sometimes use 'immense' as a verb or noun; it should only function as an adjective. Avoid saying 'very immense' because the word already implies an extreme degree.
