Question

4 Look at the words in blue in the model text. Then choose the correct words in the rules. O RULES 1 The adjectives are before/after the nouns. 2 Really and very are before/after the adjectives.​

Answer 1

1 before the adjective

2 after the adjective

Adjectives are usually placed before the nouns they modify, but when used with linking verbs, such as forms of to be or “sense” verbs, they are placed after the verb.

Pretty, fairly, really, very, and quite are placed directly in front of adjectives or adverbs to add to their meaning. Often they make the meaning of the adverb or adjective stronger, or more intense. For this reason, these words are called intensifiers.
