Adverbs of Degree
Adverbs of degree answer the question how much? or to
what extent? They increase or reduce the force of the word
they describe.
They are usually used with adjectives and are placed before
the adjective that they describe.
E.g.
• The students put up a totally
entertaining performance.
They are used with other adverbs and are placed before the
adverb they describe.
E.g.
• The young man walked incredibly slowly.
When used with verbs, they come before the verb.
E.g.
