Learn English – How does “very much” fit in with “thank you very much”

expressionsphrasesword-choice

I would never say, "I am sorry very much" or "You're welcome very much", why is it that it fits well with "Thank You"?

Best Answer

Thank you very much could be regarded as a short form of "I thank you very much", which is entirely sensible.

On the other hand, you might say "I am very sorry".
