Excuse me.Here are two sentences:
I don't like this idea much.
I don't like this idea very much.

What is the difference between the above sentences?Thank you.

In this kind of negative sentence, the word "very" doesn't really change the meaning.

In a positive sentence, "I like this lead a lot," and, "I like this lead very much," the word "very" is an intensifier.
