    Adjectives can be categorized as either gradable or non-gradable. Non-gradable adjectives describe an absolute state that cannot be modified in degree, such as furious, perfect, or tiny. Gradable adjectives allow modification to indicate degree, like angry, bad, or big, and can be used with intensifiers like quite, very, or really. Common examples of gradable adjectives include descriptors of age, temperature, size, and emotional or mental states.
