"Yesterday, It was very hot, so I went to the park, but it was very crowded. There was a very big dog in the park and I was very scared when it ran by me. I started to feel very hungry so I decided to buy an ice-cream. The ice-cream I bought was very cold, but it tasted very bad. I think it was old. I tried to complain but the seller didn't care. I was very angry! Unfortunately, I was very tired and I didn't feel like arguing. On the way home I stopped in a cafe and drank a cold glass of lemenoade. It was very good!"
Instead of using 'very' too much we can use 'extreme adjectives'.
These adjectives mean very + adjective. As extreme adjectives have a strong enough meaning, you do not need to use 'very'. If you want to make them stronger, you can use 'absolutely' before the exrteme adjective.
Here's a table of some extreme adjectives and what they mean:
| Adjective | Extreme Adjective |
|---|---|
| cold | freezing |
| hot | boiling |
| dirty | filthy |
| hungry | strarving |
| crowded | packed |
| bad | awful |
| good | wonderful |
| scary | terrifying |
| angry | furious |
| tired | exhausted |
| big | huge |
| small | tiny |
To help you build your vocabulary, let's take a look at some more extreme adjectives. These adjectives have strong meanings, so instead of saying very clean we can say spotless. As spotless means very clean we do not need to use very before spotless. Instead, you can use extremely or absolutely. For more examples on extreme adjectives, follow the link at below the table.
| Adjective | Extreme Adjective |
|---|---|
| clean | spotless |
| expensive | exorbitant |
| funny | hilarious |
