substantially and singularly

[javierchang]

Hi, every one, can I use singularly to describe something positive like' He is a singularly good man'? to express the great extent. In addition, can I use substantially in this sentence' He is substantially a good man'? to express the great extent.

Hi (no comma required) every one everyone. Can I use "singularly" to describe something positive like 'He is a singularly good man' ? (the question mark should not be here) to express "the to a great extent"? In addition, can I use "substantially" in this sentence - 'He is substantially a good man' ?(the question mark should not be here) to express the great extent?

You can use "singularly" although it's not all that common. You cannot use "substantially" in the same way.

Note my amendments to your post. Remember that a question mark goes at the end of the entire sentence.
