It provides examples of matching gradable adjectives with their strong equivalents, examples of sentences using strong intensifiers, and exercises for the reader to identify what types of adjectives different intensifiers can be used with.

    INTENSIFIERS. Which of the following can be used with the following?

    Gradable, strong or absolute? Decide which category these adjectives fit into. (Try
    using very and absolutely and see which sounds best.)

    Gradable and strong descriptive adjectives. Match the gradable adjectives on


    the left with their strong equivalents on the right.

    Cross out the wrong option.

    More than one strong equivalent. Many gradable adjectives have more than one
    strong equivalent. Learning some alternatives will increase your vocabulary.
    Divide these adjectives into six groups of four, according to meaning.

    Surprised? She was absolutely flabbergasted!


    Fill the gaps with strong versions of the adjectives in the sentences.

    Some more intensifiers


    Decide whether these intensifiers go with gradable or ungradable adjectives. (Try saying
    them with tired, exhausted and unique, and see which you think sounds better.)

    Bringing it all together. Underline the best option.
