1. Modifying an adjective or adverb

a. We can use an adverb of degree before some adjectives and adverbs.

+ Adjective:
  • It's very cold. I'm so tired.
  • You're absolutely right.
  • These are rather expensive.
  • We're a bit busy today.
  • It wasn't at all interesting.
+ Adverb:

  • I come here quite often. I saw her fairly recently.
  • We hardly ever go out. He agreed somewhat reluctantly.
Here are some common adverbs of degree.

  • Full degree: completely, totally, absolutely, entirely, quite
  • Large degree: very, extremely, really, awfully, terribly
  • Medium degree: rather, fairly, quite, pretty, somewhat
  • Small degree: a little, a bit, slightly
  • Negative: hardly, scarcely, at all
  • Others: so, as; too; more, most, less, least
We can also use a fraction or percentage.

  • The bottle is only half full.
  • The forecast was eighty per cent accurate.
NOTE

a. We use completely, totally, absolutely etc with words expressing a full or large degree.

  • This tin opener is completely useless. (useless = absolutely no use)
  • We are absolutely delighted at the news. (delighted = very pleased)
We do not normally use very or extremely with these words.

  • It's very unsatisfactory. NOT It's very useless.
  • We were extremely pleased. NOT We were extremely delighted:
Some words that do not normally take very or extremely are: amazed, amazing, appalled, appalling, awful, complete, delighted, dreadful, essential, false, fascinated, horrible, ideal, impossible, incredible, magnificent, marvellous, perfect, terrible, terrific, useless.

b. After a phrase with very we can put indeed for extra emphasis.

  • It's very cold indeed today.
c. We often use very with a negative.

  • These photos aren't very good.
This is more usual than These photos aren't good or These photos are bad.

d. Instead of really we can use real in informal speech, especially in American English.

  • It's real cold today.
