Intensifiers

Intensifiers are words that make adjectives and adverbs stronger.


An intensifier is a word that strengthens or weakens another word (usually the word immediately
to its right). An intensifier has no real meaning by itself and can usually be removed from the
sentence. Intensifiers are adverbs.
The most common intensifiers are "very," "extremely," and "incredibly." The sole purpose of an
intensifier is to tell us about the intensity of another word.
