Way 在非正式場合當程度副詞時意為「大大地，大幅，遠遠地，非常」，係用來加強語氣。在此用法中，way 都位在另一副詞、當副詞用的「介系詞 + 名詞 (片語)」構造或形容詞的前面 (在英文中，除 of + 名詞或名詞片語 = 形容詞外，所有介系詞 + 名詞或名詞片語都等於副詞)。例如：
- Tony and his parents live way out in the country. (東尼和他的父母親住在偏遠的鄉下)
- His wife spends way too much money on clothes. (他太太花費太多錢在購買衣服上)
- The performance was way below Mary’s usual standard. (這次表演遠低於瑪麗平常的水準)
- After the third lap, Sam was way behind the other runners. (跑了第三圈之後，山姆已遠遠落後其他賽跑選手)
- The project is way behind schedule. (這項工程遠遠落後進度)
- The girls in the playground were way cool. (操場上那些女生酷斃了)
- I had way more chances than him. (我的機會比他多很多)
