THE ADJECTIVE. DEGREES OF COMPARISON (see 4.6.) EXTREME ADJECTIVES

We can add emphasis to an adjective in two ways. We can: Use an intensifying adverb (really, very) in front of an adjective. Its really cold. Replace a normal adjective (cold, warm) with an extreme adjective. Its cold Its freezing

1. Intensifying Adverbs Very, really, terribly, extremely, hardly, quite, rather, Quite and Rather are similar in meaning. However rather is preferred: To intensify negative adjectives She is rather disappointed To show surprise (with positive adjectives) I think this film is rather exciting.
