Você já parou para pensar no quanto acabamos nos tornando “viciados” em usar a palavra “very” em inglês? Very beautiful, very nice, very cold, very smart, very, very, very! Por isso, preparei um vídeo cheio de EXTREME ADJECTIVES, ou seja, adjetivos que significam “extremamente” alguma coisa. Esses adjetivos também são chamados de “non-gradable” porque não podemos estabelecer diferentes níveis ou graus a respeito deles. Por exemplo, o adjetivo “cold” é “gradable” porque posso dizer que está “a little cold” ou “very cold”, enquanto “freezing” é non-gradable porque não posso dizer “very freezing”. Assista ao vídeo para conferir uma lista de “extreme adjectives” e pratique com os exercícios no final deste post!
