Welcome to this material.
Today we're going to talk about adverbs of degree.
Let's get started remember.
Then an adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other adverbs.
Now usually adverbs modify verbs telling us how how often when or where something was done.
Have a look at the example over here.
We walk really slowly.
Now there are two adverbs in the sentence we need.
And slowly really modifies the other adverb slowly and slowly modifies the verb walked and tells us
how we walked now.
Adverbs of decree tell us about the intensity of something they are usually placed before the adjective
adverb or verb that they modify.
Have a look at the example over here.
I was too scared to move forward.
Tool is an adverb of degree and it tells us how scared we were.
The intensity of our fear now the most common adverb optically are extremely quiet just almost very
true enough etc. Now enough as an adverb meaning to the necessary degree goes after the adjective or
adverb that it is modifying.
Have a look at the example below.
This bed is uncomfortable enough meaning that it's not comfortable to the necessary degree also note
that enough is often followed by two plus infinitive or for something or something.
Have a look at the examples below.
They're not old enough to get married this suit is big enough for Mike now too as an adverb meaning
also goes at the end of the phrase and modifies and too as an adverb meaning excessively goes before
the adjective or adverb and modifies now two is often followed by two plus infinitive or for something
or someone.
Have a look at the examples below.
I'd like to go to the cinema to meaning.
Also and in this sentence is he too young to become a president.
No he isn't too young for that too.
In these sentences meaning excessively and note that they come before the adjective they modify Young.
Note that there is a big difference in meaning between two and very very expresses a fact while two
suggests that there is a problem.
Have a look at the examples below she speaks very quickly that is a fact.
And this sentence she speaks to quickly I can't understand her.
The adverb of degree 2 in this sentence suggests that her speaking too quickly is a problem.
