INTENSIFIERS

Los intensificadores son palabras que nos ayudan a medir los adjetivos para decir que tan interesante es algo o alguien, que tan divertido, inteligente, ocupado, etc. 

Example. She is my teacher, she speaks 6 languages she is VERY intelligent!!! à en este caso VERY es un intensificador que nos ayuda a decir que no solo es inteligente sino que es MUY inteligente, con estas palabras es una forma de medir la descripción que le estamos dando a algo o alguien. 

THE MOST COMMON INTENSIFIERS

Lugar en la oración: los intensificadores suelen ir antes del adjetivo, ejemplo:

MY FRIENDS I’m William. In my class, I have many Friends. We play together and do many different activities. All my friends have different skills. Paola and Victor like to dance. They dance wonderfully. Victor dances well but Paola dances really well. Joe plays the guitar; he normally plays the guitar on Friday when we have music class. He doesn’t play the guitar fast because he is learning, so he plays the guitar really slow. Eliam and Claudia always sing when we have music class. Claudia sings well but Eliam sings extremely well.
