Replace '
very' with '
much'.
'Very' should be used before Positive degree and 'much' should be used before Comparative degree.
The correct sentence should be: He is
much senior to me so I dare not disrespect him.
Use of 'Much' and 'Very'(i) 'Much' qualifies adjectives or adverbs in the Comparative degree - much better, much wiser, much luckier
'Very' should be used with the Positive degree - very good, very wise, very lucky
e.g. He is
much better than you.
He spoke
very loudly.
(ii) 'Much' qualifies past participle - much amazed, much surprised, much admired
'Very' qualifies present participle - very daring, very perplexing, very challenging, very entertaining
e.g. He was
much annoyed at your behaviour.
