英语语法入门：加强词
We use words like very, really and extremely to make adjectives stronger:我们用very，really和extremely来加强形容词的语气：It’s a very interesting story.
Everyone was very excited.
It’s a really interesting story.
Everyone was extremely excited
We call these words intensifiers. Other intensifiers are:我们称这些词为加强词。
amazingly - exceptionally - incredibly - remarkably - particularly
We also use enough as an intensifier, but enough comes after its adjective:我们也可以用enough跟在形容词后加强语气：
If you are seventeen you are old enough to drive a car.
I can’t wear those shoes. They’re not big enough.
Intensifiers with strong adjectives:
When we want to describe something or someone as exceptional you can use a strong adjective. Strong adjectives are words like:当我们描述某人或某物是特例，你可以用较强的形容词。如下：
Enormous; huge = very big
Tiny = very small
Brilliant = very clever
Awful; terrible; disgusting; dreadful = very bad
Certain = very sure
Excellent; perfect; ideal; wonderful; splendid = very good
Delicious = very tasty
We do not use very with these adjectives. We do not say something is "very enormous" or someone is "very brilliant".我们不用very形容这些词汇。
With strong adjectives, for intensifiers we normally use:
absolutely - exceptionally - particularly - really - quite
The film was absolutely awful.
He was an exceptionally brilliant child.
The food smelled really disgusting.
Intensifiers with comparatives and superlatives:加强词的比较级或最高级：
We use these words and phrases as intensifiers with comparative adjectives:
much - far - a lot - quite a lot - a great deal - a good deal - a good bit - a fair bit
He is much older than me.
New York is a lot bigger than Boston.
We use much and far as intensifiers with comparative adjectives in front of a noun:我们在名词前面，用much和far加强词与比较级形容词连用：
France is a much bigger country than Britain.
He is a far better player than Ronaldo.
We use these words as intensifiers with superlatives:我们用这些词作为加强词与最高级连用：
easily - by far - far
The blue whale is easily the biggest animal in the world.
This car was by far the most expensive.
