5V Modifying Adverbs

Welcome!

Today's objective:

I can use modifying adverbs (such as bitterly, extremely, practically, absolutely, and totally) to make adjectives, other adverbs, and verbs stronger or weaker in my sentences.

What do you remember from yesterday?

Page 157 - 158

Bitterly

Scarcely

barely

deeply

practically

Weaker

More intense

So study these adverbs, and whether they intensify or weaken an adjective or adverb

Some modifying adverbs collocate with certain adjectives

(Page 158), 2.2: These are some commonly used collocations. It would be good to know these

Extreme or Absolute adjectives

Include: Freezing, disastrous, staggering, etc.

You wouldn't normally grade these (impossible, more impossible, the most impossible....?)

But you can use some adverbs with them (absolutely, totally, really etc.)

Get started on the exercises on page 158 and 65

Figure out whether the adjective is extreme/absolute or gradable

Figure out whether the adverbs are for intensifying or weakening
