Adverbs + adjectives (modifiers)

Cuando usamos adjetivos, tenemos formas de darles más o menos intensidad. Las formas de intensidad (modifiers/intensifiers) dependerán del tipo de adjetivo como sigue:

Cada categoría, tendrá sus modifiers/intensifiers correspondientes:

a bit / a little / quite / pretty / fairly /rather / very / really / extremely + gradable-base-regular adjectives

really / absolutely / utterly / completely / totally + non gradable - strong - extreme adjectives

Así pues:

Correct : I’m very tired Correct: I’m absolutely exhausted

Incorrect : I’m absolutely tired Incorrect: I’m very exhausted

But!

Correct: I’m really tired Correct : I’m really exhausted
