Modifiers and intensifiers
USE: We can use adverbs to make adjectives, other adverbs and verbs stronger or weaker.
1. We can use these adverbs before gradable adjectives (i.e. adjectives that can be used in the comparative) and adverbs;
- very, extremely, really, particularly, terribly (emphatic)
- quite, pretty, fairly, rather ( weaker than very)
- a bit
I felt terribly upset when I heard the news.
He drives rather fast.
I thought the story was a bit silly.
Watch Out! Quite has two meanings.
The picture was quite good. (= good but not very good)
Her cooking was quite wonderful. (= very, very good)
2. Extreme or absolute (non-gradable) adjectives include:
Amazing, boiling, disastrous, fantastic, freezing, impossible, marvelous, superb, wonderful. We can use the following adverbs whit extreme adjectives: absolutely, really, utterly.
The special effects were utterly amazing.
3. We can use these adverbs to emphasise adjectives and verb: just, completely, totally (= in every way).
I completely / totally forget about your birthday.
It's completely impossible to finish in time.
You look just fantastic.

A z zasady nie znam, wiec Ci niestety nie wytlumacze, zaraz wejdzie ktos bardziej kompetentny, to pomoze. Tak na szybko, to chodzi po prostu o przymiotniki, ktore okreslaja pewna sytuacje/rzecz np nie powiesz ta ksiazka byla absolutnie nudna, tylko ksiazka byla bardzo nudna. Jedne pasuja, a drugie nie i tyle filozofii
Przyklad z zadania:
7. Your English is absolutely / fairly / just fantastic! You must have lived in an English-speaking country.
Jesli mowisz, ze kogos angielski jest fantastyczny, nie ma sily, zeby powiedziec 'fairly' czyli tak jakby srednio. Skoro jest fantastyczny, nie moze byc srednio fantastyczny, wiec pasuje absolutely albo just
W niektorych zdaniach uzywasz tych przymiotnikow, zeby cos podkreslic np cos moze byc quite hard albo extremely hard, a to duza roznica.
Aha i z tym 'quite' to sprawa wyglada tak:
Jesli uzywamy tego slowa ze slowem negatywnym np cold, nie jest ono az tak bardzo podkreslane czyli znaczy bylo troche zimno. Jesli uzywasz tego ze slowem pozytywnym, jest ono podkreslane czyli np It's quite warm tzn ze nie jest cieplo, tylko wyraznie cieplo.
Zakrecilam troche wiec ogolnie
Quite + negatywne slowo = nie jest az tak zle, jak to negatywne slowo wskazuje
Quite + pozytywne slowo = jest lepiej, niz to pozytywne slowo wskazuje
