Advance your English with 7 INTENSIFIERS

Want to sound more educated in English? Then I strongly recommend you watch this lesson. You'll learn seven advanced English expressions you can use while speaking or writing, in social, academic, and business situations. Intensifiers add passion and depth to your English. Once you learn these, I'm sure you'll also start noticing how commonly they are used. I sincerely hope you enjoy the lesson and honestly believe you'll upgrade your English! I recommend you practice using one or two of these intensifiers every day. Try writing a sentence with one of these intensifiers in the comments here!

TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I'm Rebecca from engVid. After teaching English for more than 30 years, my goal in all my lessons is to help you to learn English more quickly and easily. So in the next few minutes you're going to be able to take your English to a higher level by learning seven advanced expressions with intensifiers. Now, what does that mean? What are intensifiers? Let's find out. Okay?
So let's start with this example in a general situation. Okay? "Joan likes music." We can say that, or we could say: "Joan really likes music." In this example, the word "really" is an intensifier, and what an intensifier does is that it strengthens or emphasizes the verb. She doesn't just like music, she really likes music, and that's fine to say. Okay? That's called an adverb intensifier. All right? Doesn't matter, but maybe for those of you who like to understand grammar, I'm just telling you what the words are.
All right, let's look at another example from a business context. "We appreciate your offer." Okay? No intensifier, there. The next example: "We really appreciate your offer." Now, again, the word "really" was the intensifier. But do we use only "really" as intensifiers? No. We use many, many other words because it would be very boring to keep saying "really" all the time. Also, "really" might be fine in this example because it's kind of informal and conversational, but here it's a little bit more formal, a little bit more businesslike, so you want to use better English, you want to use more advanced English, and you want to use more advanced expressions. So, what do we usually say instead of that with the verb "appreciate"? We usually say something like this: "We truly appreciate your offer." Okay? Now, in this example, the word "truly" is the intensifier instead of "really". Right? And the verb stays the same, so that's "appreciate". So, when you have an intensifier like "truly" or "really" plus a verb, like "appreciate", that's called a collocation. Okay? Or a word combination, two words which are used together very frequently. All right? So people expect to hear them together. All right? So when you use them, you sound much more natural. You also sound a little bit more formal, more polite, more educated, a little bit more refined and cultured, and just more advanced in English. All right? Because obviously if you say: "I truly appreciate your offer", instead of saying: "I really appreciate your offer", then you're going to sound more advanced. Now, of course, it depends on the situation. If you're just talking to friends, maybe you want to keep saying "really appreciate", but I'm going to show you seven other expressions... Six other expressions-you've already learned one, all right?-which you can use and which are used very often in academic circles and also in professional circles because you can use these expressions in speaking and writing, you can use them in social and business situations, like especially in customer service, in meetings, negotiations, presentations, discussions. Right? And, of course, we can use them in a lot of academic situations, like in your essays, or your IELTS, or your TOEFL. Imagine if you started using this kind of vocabulary instead of regular vocabulary. Of course you're going to get higher marks. All right? So, let's look at some of these expressions.
All right, so let's first start with an overview of these six advanced expressions. All right? I'll just read them right now. Don't worry about understanding them or how to use them. I'm going to explain that in just a minute. Okay? All right. So the first one: "Strongly recommend", "honestly believe", "deeply regret", "fully recognize", "sincerely hope", and "positively encourage". Okay? So, what did you notice in those? Each of them had an intensifier. Right? "Strongly", "honestly", "deeply", "fully", "sincerely", "positively", and each of them had a verb; "recommend", "believe", "regret", etc. Okay. So, why are they expressions? Why are they called collocations? Because these expressions, these two-word combinations are used together, and they are recognized as good expressions to use together. All right?
So let's go through them now so you understand exactly how to use them.

Your topics are really unique and helpful indeed. The carefully chosen topics that we (non-native speaker of English) often make mistakes, deserve appreciation. Unlike many who only chooses to teach what could appear in the exams (IELTS, TOEFL), you go on deep to find out what could potentially increase the standard of English and find out the typical mistakes newbies make. Thanks a zillion, Rebecca. God bless you
