英语语法入门：加强词

We use words like very, really and extremely to make adjectives stronger:
我们用very，really和extremely来加强形容词的语气：

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:
我们称这些词为加强词。

amazingly - exceptionally - incredibly - remarkably - particularly

We also use enough as an intensifier, but enough comes after its adjective:
我们也可以用enough跟在形容词后加强语气：

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:

When we want to describe something or someone as exceptional you can use a strong adjective. Strong adjectives are words like:
当我们描述某人或某物是特例，你可以用较强的形容词。如下：

Enormous; huge = very big

Tiny = very small

Brilliant = very clever

Awful; terrible; disgusting; dreadful = very bad

Certain = very sure

Excellent; perfect; ideal; wonderful; splendid = very good

Delicious = very tasty

We do not use very with these adjectives. We do not say something is "very enormous" or someone is "very brilliant".
我们不用very形容这些词汇。

With strong adjectives, for intensifiers we normally use:

absolutely - exceptionally - particularly - really - quite

The film was absolutely awful.

He was an exceptionally brilliant child.

The food smelled really disgusting.
