Hello and welcome to Mint English!
How have you been?
That’s good to hear, I’m doing great as well! I’m pretty sure we’re going to have a wonderful class today.

Lately, we’ve been discussing about the kinds adverbs; adverb of time, adverb of place, and adverb of frequency. I think, we’re missing one more and that’s our lesson for today-adverb of degree.

Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb.
Take note of the word intensity

Here are some examples of adverbs of degree:

Examples:
1.We are completely exhausted from the tour.
2.The milk is too hot for me to drink.
3.It is just too small for me!

Do they sound familiar? I know you know some adverbs of degree. Come on tell me! (Teacher shows encouraging expression‎ and pretends to listen to the learners as they answer.)

Almost, nearly, quite, enough, hardly, scarcely, completely, very, extremely, never, rarely, seldom

If you have these on your mind, then you nailed it buddy!

But wait, there’s more to know about these kinds of adverbs.

Degree of  Expression‎
Expressing very strong feelings	Expressing strong feelings	Expressing somewhat doubtful feelings
Extremely, terribly, amazingly, wonderfully, insanely	Especially, particularly, uncommonly, unusually, remarkably, quite	Pretty, rather, fairly, not especially, not particularly
Example: The lecture was terribly boring.	Example: The lecture was quite boring.	Example: The lecture was rather boring

There is a difference between very intense feeling, strong feeling and fair feelings.
If you are expressing very strong or very intense feelings, the adverbs on column one shall be used.  If expressing strong feelings, you can use the adverbs on column two. Lastly, if you are doubtful with your feelings then these adverbs in column three could be used.

Check out the sentence examples. The words are almost the same, right? But with the adverbs of degree included, each sentence means suggests different conditions.

Alright! Let’s see what you’ve learned.

Choose the adverb of degree from the list to complete each sentence.

1.The temperature during winter is    cold.
2.My teacher speaks _______ fast that I could not understand.
3.Dianne is about to leave, she’s    finished.
4.I didn’t work hard   to pass the test.
5. The movie I just watched is _________ interesting.

Now give me correct answers!

1.The temperature during winter is extremely cold.
2.My teacher speaks very fast that I could not understand.
3.Dianne is about to leave, she’s almost finished.
4.I didn’t work hard enough to pass the test.
5. The movie I just watched is fairly interesting.

Very good! It was easy right? Let’s have more of that next time, okay?

To practice at home I would like you to use write down what you did today using adverbs of degree.
Keep in mind, adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb.

Thank you very much for being with me today, and I will see you again next time! Bye.
