在形容词或副词之前使用加强词。
使用 very、really 和 so 使描述更强。

当某事物超过必要程度或引起问题时,使用 too。
- too expensive(太贵)

使用 quite 表示中等或相当强的程度。

使用 a little 或 a bit 使描述更弱。

与副词一起使用时,使用:
主语 + 动词 + 加强词 + 副词

使用 too + 形容词/副词 + to + 动词 来解释结果。

使用 so + 形容词/副词 + that 来解释结果。

very 通常不与已经具有极端含义的形容词一起使用。
不要说 very excellent,而要说 excellent 或 really excellent。
不要说 very impossible,而要说 impossible 或 completely impossible。
在非正式英语中,really 经常与普通形容词和极端形容词一起使用。
- really tired(真的很累)
- really amazing(真的令人惊叹)
