Giving emphasis (Intensifying adverbs)
7 mayo, 2025 por María del Pilar Zamora Lara

Hello,

One of the ways to emphasize is by means of intensifying adverbs. There are many intensifying adverbs, but we will focus on the adverbs shown on the table below as there are well-defined rules for combining each of them with one or other adjectives and verbs, which together form collocations (set phrases). 

To learn more about some of them, go on this link and for practice click on this other link.
