Gradable and Non-gradable Adjectives

Adjectives can be either gradable or non-gradable
Gradable
Gradable adjectives are adjectives like ‘cold’ ‘hot’ and ‘frightened’. You can be very cold or a bit cold. Gradable adjectives show that something can have different degrees.
Non-gradable
Non-gradable adjectives are adjectives like ‘married’ or ‘wooden’. You can’t be very married or a bit married. Non-gradable adjectives do not have different degrees. Adjectives like ‘terrifying’, ‘freezing’ ‘amazing’ are also non-gradable adjectives. They already contain the idea of ‘very’ in their definitions – ‘freezing’ means ‘very cold’ etc.
Using adverbs of degree
When we use adverbs of degree to modify adjectives we usually have to use different adverbs for gradable and non-gradable adjectives.
  • NOT I’m completely hot.
  • NOT It was very fantastic!
With gradable adjectives
  • It’s a bit cold in here. Shall I turn the fire on?
  • He’s very interested in history. Why don’t you buy him a history book?
  • This exercise is really difficult. I don’t know any of the answers.
  • I’m extremely tired. I’m going to bed. The adverbs ‘a bit’, ‘very’, ‘really’, ‘extremely’ and quite can all be used with gradable adjectives.
With non-gradable adjectives
  • It’s absolutely freezing in here. Shall I turn the fire on?
  • He’s completely fascinated by history. Why don’t you buy him a history book?
  • This exercise is absolutely impossible.
  • That film is really terrifying. Don’t go and see it on your own.
The adverbs ‘absolutely’ and ‘completely’ can be used with non-gradable adjectives. Notice that ‘really’ can be used with both gradable AND non-gradable adjectives but it is normally used in less formal speaking and writing.

Intensifiers and Mitigators

Intensifiers with strong adjectives:

Strong adjectives are words like:
enormous, huge = very big
tiny = very small
brilliant = very clever
awful; terrible; disgusting; dreadful = very bad
certain = very sure
excellent; perfect; ideal; wonderful; splendid = very good
delicious = very tasty
We do not normally use very with these adjectives. We do not say something is "very enormous" or someone is "very brilliant".

Mitigators are the opposite of intensifiers. When we want to make an adjective less strong we use these words:
fairly - rather - quite
