INTENSIFYING ADVERBS - We use ___________before adjectives to make them stronger, VERY, A BIT, INCREDIBLY, REALLY OR EXTREMELY. e.g. I´m a bit cold - Most adjectives, e.g. cold, surprising are GRADABLE. This means we can make them weaker with adverbs like: , ABSOLUTELY, REALLY AND UTTERLY. e.g. He has an absolutely tiny garden.  - Other adjectives, e.g freezing, amazing are UNGRADABLE. We cannot make them stronger or weaker in this way. Adjectives like freezing, essential and amazing already contain the idea of "very" in their meaning. We use _______with ungradable adjectives. , COMPLETELY, ENTIRELY AND TOTALLY. e.g. I´m not going to pay them until all the work is totally finished. - Ungradable adjectives can also ba absolute adjectives. Adjectives like this do not have comparative and superlative form, e.g. right, wrong, unique and true. With ABSOLUTE ADJECTIVES we use the intensifying adverbs: , QUITE. e.g. I think this painting is quite stunning. (quite= really) - We can use the adverb _____with ungradable adjectives, including absolute adjectives. When we do this, the meaning is very. ,
