Very popular).But very can also be used as an adjective to give extra emphasis, e.g, the very top ( = absolute); this very minute, her very words ( = precise; actual); the very tool, the very person, the very thing ( = most suitable; the item/person in question); the very thought ( = mere).

This vibration moves the hands on the clock in a very precise manner, making them very cheap and very accurate. These are the clocks are used everyday in our houses, offices and schools and in many cases wrists.
