Intermediate Adverbs of Degree

Adverbs of degree are words that tell us more about the intensity or extent of an adjective or another adverb. Here are some common adverbs of degree you can use: 1. Rather: This word means "to some degree". It is used to show that something is more than a little but not very much. - Example: "The movie was rather interesting." 2. Hardly: This means "almost not." It is used to indicate that something is true to a very small extent. - Example: "I can hardly hear you." 3. Extremely: This word means "very much" or "to a high degree." It is used to show that something is at the highest level of intensity. - Example: "She is extremely talented." 4. Pretty: This means "fairly" or "somewhat." It is often used in informal contexts to indicate a moderate degree. - Example: "The task is pretty easy." 5. Slightly: This means "a little" or "to a small degree." It is used to show that something is true to a minor extent. - Example: "The weather is slightly warmer today." When using these adverbs, they generally come before the adjective or adverb they modify. For example: - "She is extremely happy." - "He runs pretty fast." Remember, "hardly" often has a negative sense, so it can change the meaning of a sentence. Be careful with its use.
