Activity #1: Recalling Previous learning

• Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity of something. Adverbs of degree are usually placed before the adjective, adverb, or verb that they modify, although there are some exceptions. The words "too", "enough", "very", and "extremely" are examples of adverbs of degree.

How do we use them?

An adverb of degree can modify an adjective, another adverb or a verb.-She is very tall. (Modifies the adjective) -He walked quite slowly. (Modifies the adverb) -I really like that film. (Modifies the verb)

• Adverbs of degree can modify adjectives or adverbs:

Subject + main verb + adverb of degree + adjective e.g. Jane is very happy. Subject + main verb + adverb of degree + adverb e.g. Tom walks extremely quickly. Adverbs of degree can also modify verbs: Subject + adverb of degree + main verb e.g. The boys thoroughly enjoyed their trip to the theatre.

• With modal verbs, the adverb of degree can appear before the modal verb or before the main verb, depending on the meaning.
