Which adjectives would you use to describe these pictures?
Expensive Happy Hot Cool Ugly Difficult Interesting Dark Heavy Polite Healthy Nervous Stupid Rich Dangerous Simple Sweet Big Large Cheap Sad Cold Warm Pretty/beautiful Easy Boring Light Rude/impolite Unhealthy Confident Smart/Clever Poor Safe Complicated Savoury/Salty Little Small All of these adjectives can be graded
That’s to say: With most adjectives you can make them positive, negative or in between by using an adverb. Take for example good. You can say that: Nick is so stupid. Cockroaches are really pretty. Ice-cream is very hot. Nick’s girlfriend is fairly ugly. Chinese music is quite nice. Nick is not very handsome. Describe these nouns using one adverb: Japan English class Shenzhen Justin Bieber Nick
However some adjectives are different. If you wanted to say that something was very good, you could say excellent. Can you work out these other non-gradable equivalents of good? Add the missing letters: Re-arrange these letters: B__LL____ W-E-A-E-M-S-O _ON____UL T-T-A-A-S-N-I-F-C G___T I-T-C-E-R-F-R-I ______LOUS M-A-Z-I-N-G-A
With these Non-gradable adjectives you can’t use the same adverbs. You can still use so and really, but none of the others. Sometimes we’ll use: completely, totally or absolutely for extra emphasis. e. g. . Nick’s lessons are so wonderful. Chinese food is absolutely delicious. This is because these words cannot be graded, they are or they aren’t. i. e. . You can’t be not very excellent or quite great. You are great or you are not great.
