 Intensifiers
We use intensifiers with adjectives to make them stronger or less
strong.
Examples:

on tv
really annoying: Insects are really annoying.
a little worried: I’m a little worried about the
test
super mean: Miss Daniela is super mean
a bit anxious: He’s a bit anxious about Christmas
very lucky: You’re very lucky
