FEEL THE FEAR

4 Focus on Language: extreme adjectives

Part 1: Complete the following sentences with one adjective.

Part 2: Some adjectives are gradable. This means that we can change how strong they are by using
words such as ‘very’, ‘extremely’, ‘really’, ‘quite’ or ‘a bit’.

Look at the adjectives you and your classmate chose in exercise one. Did you choose gradable
adjectives?

Part 3: Some adjectives are not gradable. We sometimes call these types of adjectives extreme
adjectives because they already mean extremely + adjective so we can’t use adverbs such as ‘very’.
For example, ‘brilliant’ means ‘extremely good’ so you can’t say ‘extremely brilliant’.

Look at the adjectives you and your classmate chose in exercise one. Did you choose extreme adjectives?

Part 4: There are some adverbs we can use with extreme adverbs. These include words such as
‘totally’, ‘absolutely’, and ‘completely’. Write your sentences from exercise 1 again and use one of
these adverbs + an extreme adjective.
