Intensifiers -- Americans love to sound exciting and interesting by using intensifiers. Yes, they can be overused, but I notice that many English learners don’t use them at all! The English students I have who DO use them sound much more natural and native-like.    Intensifiers you probably already know include: So Really Very   And also we can use more interesting words instead of simply re-using these 3 basic words over and over.   Very big = enormous Very small = tiny Very smart = brilliant Very bad = awful, horrible, dreadful Very sure = certain Very good = excellent, amazing, awesome Very tasty = delicious   Examples: Your house is very big → enormous My apartment is very small → tiny You are very smart → brilliant This movie is very bad → awful I’m very sure I left my keys on the table → I’m certain This book is very good → excellent This food is very tasty → delicious   We can also add more interesting intensifiers before the better vocabulary words: Absolutely Awfully* Completely Exceptionally Part
