Read the following text. What do you think about it?
Last weekend, I went to the cinema with my friends, and it was a very good experience. The movie we watched was very interesting. The development of the characters was also very clever, and the special effects were very surprising. There was a very pretty actor in it, and also a very ugly monster.
I was also very happy to see that the cinema was very clean, because last month I went to a very dirty cinema and I had a very bad time: there was food all over the floor, so it was very unpleasant! However, I understand: some months ago, in a different cinema, my friend tripped and her popcorn flew all over the place. She was embarrassed, but I thought it was very funny!
Overall, it was a perfect evening, and I am looking forward to the next time we can go to the cinema together.
Extreme adjectives have a more powerful meaning than their standard equivalents. They can be useful to make our texts more varied and interesting and to avoid over-using "very" (because they already mean "very + adjective"!).
We don't use modifying adverbs like slightly, quite, or very with extreme adjectives. Instead, we use really or absolutely.
2. Play the game below. How fast can you match the extreme adjectives with their standard equivalents?
3. Complete the worksheet. Then, make a list of the adjectives you learnt on your notebook.
4. On your notebook, rewrite the text we read before with the appropriate extreme adjectives, to avoid using "very" too often.
