INTENSIFIERS

TOO AND ENOUGH


We use intensifiers to make a stronger adjective.

Example:
My homework is too much.
My homework is not easy enough.


TOO, ENOUGH, VERY AND REALLY
We use TOO, when the adjective gives a negative description about a noun.
Please teacher, it is too much information!
Merida is too crowned.

We use ENOUGH, when the adjective gives a positive description about a noun
The weather is good enough.

We use VERY and REALLY, for both descriptions (negative or positive)
We were very happy about the good news.
Im not very happy today.
You are not really good.
You are really good.


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALLY
AND VERY?

"Very" and "really" both mean a lot.
Really can be used before an adjective or before a verb.
Very can only be used before an adjective.
Examples:
I like the cookies very much.
I really like the cookies.
