Exercise 4:

Adverbs of intensity

Example

Paganini was talented.

Paganini was very talented.

Paganini was brilliant.

Paganini was absolutely brilliant.

We do not use very with adjectives like ‘brilliant’ because ‘brilliant’ already means ‘very talented’. If we want to intensify an extreme adjective we need an adverb like ‘absolutely’.

    1. Match each adjective in the left-hand column with its stronger equivalent from the right-hand column.

1 ___ hot

2 ___ cold

3 ___ interesting

4 ___ dirty

5 ___ tasty

6 ___ bad

7 ___ frightened

8 ___ big

9 ___ angry

10 __ tired

11 __ surprised

12 __ funny

a vast

b terrified

c disgusting

d filthy

e exhausted

f boiling

g hilarious

h fascinating

i freezing

j furious

k astonished

l delicious
