Practical English

Spotlight on writing: making adjectives morę interesting

•    Add an adverb before an adjedive to make it morę 'colourful'. To make most adjectives stronger, you can use so* / really / i/ery / extremely

The weather was really hot.

•    To make them less strong, you can use quite / fairly / pretty*.

The hotel was pretty good, but not the best Tve ei/er stayed in.

•    In front of a negative adjective, you can use o little / a bit* / too

The food was a bit expensive.

•    With adjectives that already have a strong meaning, add emphasis with totally / completely / absolutely / really / unbelievably*

The view was absolutely amazing!

(* = in morę informal writing).
