1 kind of: When used before an adjective (such as "angry"), "kind of" and "sort of" have a similar meaning to "slightly" or "somewhat". This answer refers to a small-to-moderate amount of anger. Another example: "The movie was sort of interesting, but I wouldn't watch it again".
1 very: "Very" is an intensifier. "Very angry" refers to a large amount of anger. Out of these three options, it does not refer to the least anger.
1 extremely: "Extremely" is an intensifier. "Extremely angry" refers to a very large amount of anger. Out of these three options, it does not refer to the least anger.
2 very: "Very" is an intensifier which emphasizes an adjective (such as "angry"). "Very angry" refers to more anger than "sort of angry", but less anger than "extremely angry", because "extremely" is a stronger intensifier. Another example: "I'm very nervous about the exam tomorrow".
2 extremely: "Extremely" is the strongest word out of these choices. It expresses the most anger.
2 kind of: "Kind of" expresses the least anger out of these choices.
3 extremely: "Extremely" is a strong intensifier which makes an adjective much stronger. Icarus being "extremely angry" would refer to the most anger out of these options. Another example: "She is extremely beautiful. I'm not sure I've ever seen such a beautiful woman".
3 very: "Very" is a less strong intensifier than "extremely". Therefore, "very angry" does not refer to the most anger out of these options.
3 kind of: "Kind of" expresses the least anger out of these choices, not the most!
Esercizio 2
Complete the sentences below in order to add emphasis to the superlative adjectives.
This is the biggest cucumber in today’s vegetable show.
You are the most beautiful man I have seen this week.
Of all the singers who ever lived, I believe that Elkie Johns is the greatest.
This is the biggest cucumber in today’s vegetable show.
You are the most beautiful man I have seen this week.
Of all the singers who ever lived, I believe that Elkie Johns is the greatest.
Complete the sentences below in order to add emphasis to the superlative adjectives.
This is by far 1 the biggest cucumber in today’s vegetable show.
You are by far 2 the most beautiful man I have seen this week.
Of all the singers who ever lived, I believe that Elkie Johns is the very 3 greatest.
This is by far 1 the biggest cucumber in today’s vegetable show.
You are by far 2 the most beautiful man I have seen this week.
Of all the singers who ever lived, I believe that Elkie Johns is the very 3 greatest.
1 by far: One way of emphasizing a superlative adjective is to add "by far" before the word "the". Note that we could also place "by far" at the end of the sentence: "This is the biggest cucumber in today’s vegetable show by far". Both sentences convey that this cucumber is the biggest without exception. Another example: "Sophie Copper's latest movie is by far the most accomplished of her entire career".
1 far: We can't use the word "far" on its own to emphasize superlative adjectives. However, it can be used to emphasize comparative adjectives. For example: "This cucumber is far bigger than any other vegetable in today's show".
1 very: Although we can use the word "very" to emphasize superlative adjectives, it must be placed between the word "the" and the adjective. We could say: "This is the very biggest cucumber I have ever seen".
2 by far: The man being described in this sentence is "by far the most beautiful": this means that he is much more beautiful than all the other men the speaker saw this week. We could also say "You are the most beautiful man I have seen this week by far". Another example: "That was by far the best sex I've had all day".
2 extremely: We can use "extremely" to emphasize simple adjectives, but not superlative adjectives. For example: "I find this painting extremely pretty".
2 such: "Such" can be used for emphasis, but not with superlative adjectives. It is usually part of the formula such + adjective + noun. For example: "You have such beautiful eyes!"; "This is such a wonderful event!".
3 very: Another way of emphasizing a superlative adjective is to use the formula the + very + superlative adjective. Here, this emphasizes that the speaker considers Elkie Johns the greatest without exception. Another example: "The very strongest women come to compete here, at the World's Strongest Woman contest".
3 most: You should never use the word "most" immediately before a superlative adjective ending in "-st". This is redundant because it repeats information unnecessarily. We use "most" to write the superlative form of long adjectives (with two or more syllables), for example: most terrific, most handsome, most diligent, most loving.
3 even: We can't use the word "even" to emphasize superlative adjectives. However, it can be used to emphasize comparative adjectives. For example: "Do you think Elkie Johns is even greater than Michael George?".
