How to use the word ''Amari'' and "Juushi suru" in a sentence


Was wondering if someone here could help me know how to use the word AMARI in
a sentence. And also, the word JUUSHI SURU which means "to emphasize". I
couldnt find out when to use the word.

> 仕事で人の間違いを重視するあまり仕事が楽しくなくなった。  
>  At work, people focus too much on other's mistakes so work became
> unenjoyable.

Please let me know if my japanese grammar is correct, if not please correct me




あまり means "so ～ (that ～)", "too much", "overly" etc. You can use あまり in
multiple ways.

  1. `noun + の + あまり`

> 驚きのあまり、喋れなくなった。

This あまり is a noun, but forms an adverbial expression just as "～の場合", "～の時",
"～の中" or similar expressions do.

  2. `dictionary-form + あまり`, `ta-form + あまり`

> 驚くあまり、喋れなくなった。  
>  驚いたあまり、喋れなくなった。

  3. `あまり + に + verb/adjective + て/ので/ため/etc`

> あまりに驚いて、喋れなくなった。  
>  あまりに驚いたので、喋れなくなった。

(Occasionally this に is dropped)

These five Japanese sentences roughly mean the same thing: "I was **so**
surprised that I was at a loss for words" or "I was **too** surprised to say
something."

あまり in negative sentences is usually translated as "not very ～", "not really
～", etc. See: [What is the meaning of あまり in this
dialogue?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/39617/5010)

重視する is a simple suru-verb that just means "to focus on something", "to weigh
something heavily". [Tons of examples on
