Intensifiers and Mitigators - English Grammar lesson
Take a test : www.learnex.in/what-are-intens...
What are Intensifiers?
The word that emphasizes another word or phrase is an Intensifier. It also known as a booster.
Intensifiers enhances and gives additional emotional context to the word it modifies
We use words like very, really and extremely to make adjectives stronger:
It's a very interesting game
she did remarkably well in her tests.
Everyone was extremely excited
Other commonly used intensifiers are:
• Amazingly
• Incredibly
• Exceptionally
• Completely
What are Mitigators?
Mitigators are the opposite of intensifiers. When we want to make an adjective less strong we use these words:
For Example : fairly - rather - quite
By the end of the day we were rather tired.
The film wasn't great but it was quite exciting.
We had a pretty good time at the party.
Mitigators can also be used with comparative adjectives:
We use the following words and phrases as mitigators:
• a bit
• just a bit
• a little
• a little bit
• just a little bit
• rather - slightly
She's a bit younger than I am.
This one is rather bigger.

great session, my request to make on session on exit interviews, thanks in advance...

[@SandeepKumar16]

Please change the spelling of "quiet" to "quite" if possible...The learners are getting confused. The correct statement would be " The film was quite interesting".

[@chronobeast4754]

I think quiet means silent. And quite means completely or pretty or wholly . For example!! Your quite amazing.. that means your pretty amazing. Just like that...

[@lsphiionaka3214]

Great explanation

[@alexandrebarbosa2163]

Thank you! Your class helped me a lot! But could you help me to follow? Because I'm a beginner in English. I think they are representing levels. Are these phrases correct and they are represent levels? If yes, what is the correct order? - I think math is very difficult. - I think math is rather hard - I think math is pretty hard - I think math is fairly difficult. - I think math is quite difficult.

[@deepakshet5233]

Very useful

[@jayasundarapadmasri]

[@legendvslegend1221]

[@RSYadav-fj3pn]

what's different between intensifiers and adverb

[@firatramsahu4634]

Good topic

[@tamilselvanmadhav2306]

Thank u

[@dingiriya92]

I watched your lesson just now. Many have noticed the confusion of ' quiet' and 'quite' there.These things happened but the confusion for a beginner is the closeness of the spelling and yet the distance between their meanings. However, how right are you presenting the words 'quite' and 'rather' only as mitigators ? Are they never used as intensifiers in English?

[@gauravmittal3392]

Hi Niharika! I just have a doubt What does this sentence mean? ' His performance was quite magnificent ' Is it reducing the intensity of the word ' magnificent ' ? But how? Because the adjective ' magnificent ' is already such a intense one.

[@shakira.alnasir349]

The film was quite ( not quiet) exciting . Quiet means calm.

[@luisphelipecastro5420]

Hello, gr8 class! I got myself wondering where she's from.. I didn't recognize her accent... Just curious about it.

[@dobariram2254]

Then what is difference between Intensifier and Adverb... And how can we know that it is intensifier or An Adverb???

[@drchellaiyan]

Hi mam, In the second phrase, is it quite or quiet?? the film was quite interesting or the film was quiet interesting - which one is correct??

[@RHeard76]

Quite. They made a little mistake and used the wrong word.

[@ThiagoLima-yi6ox]

Thanks s2

[@papuzka]

quite ! quiet is error

[@targetenglishh]

Niharaka could you please make a topic on "where to use -Which and That"? please

[@chhandakadhikari9194]

Extremely intelligent teacher.........

[@gauravdixit1376]

Intensifiers and mitigators are adverbs of degree

[@Mistypran]

The most useful video on youtube #mistypran

[@nantongoharriettracy4951]

We these words quiet free from noise, quit to leave some thing like job and quite rather good. How can you say a movie was quiet boring?

[@Abolwafa27]

Extremely nice :)

[@Start_your_way]

[@perfectd5631]

mam i have a little confussion between adverb and intensifier because as you know that very is a adverb of quantity so and adjective also modify to an other objective can you please explain it little bit

[@niranjansahu7330]

[@anamikaenterprise]

Niharika hair is extremely beautiful. Whether is correct or not viewers?

[@vazirahmedkhan9040]

The word "quiet" is not correct. It should be "quite". Thus it should be "The movie wax quite exciting." Sorry for inconvenience.

[@nagendraprasad895]
