    Student Note 5 Modifiers:: It's Very Hot Today. ( ) : It's Fairly Hot Today. ( )

    Uploaded by

    Ahmed El Yamani
    This document discusses the use of modifiers such as "very", "quite", "rather" to describe the degree to which something is true. It provides examples of sentences using these modifiers to convey that something is hot, long, enjoyed, fast, tired, frequent, incorrect to varying degrees. For instance, "It's fairly hot today" means it is hot but not very hot. Words like "quite", "pretty", "rather", "fairly" are used to indicate something is true to some extent rather than absolutely. The document advises being aware of the impact these words have on the strength and precision of descriptions.
