Intensifiers
Level: intermediate
We use words like very, really and extremely to make adjectives stronger:
It's a very interesting story.
Everyone was very excited.
It's a really interesting story.
Everyone was extremely excited.
We call these words intensifiers. Other intensifiers are:
| amazingly exceptionally incredibly | particularly remarkably unusually |
We also use enough to say more about an adjective, but enough comes after its adjective:
If you are seventeen, you are old enough to drive a car.
I can't wear those shoes. They're not big enough.
Intensifiers with strong adjectives
Strong adjectives are words like:
| very big | enormous, huge |
|---|---|
| very small | tiny |
| very clever | brilliant |
| very bad | awful, terrible, disgusting, dreadful |
| very sure | certain |
| very good | excellent, perfect, ideal, wonderful, splendid |
| very tasty | delicious |
We do not normally use very with these adjectives. We do not say something is very enormous or someone is very brilliant.
With strong adjectives, we normally use intensifiers like:
| absolutely completely exceptionally particularly | really quite totally utterly |
The film was absolutely awful.
He was an exceptionally brilliant child.
The food smelled really disgusting.
