Adverbs of Degree
For adverbs that answer “how much” or to “what extent”, these are adverbs of degree. For example, they usually modify other verbs, adjectives or adverbs making them stronger or weaker.
They modify adjectives but not the other way around. In other words, adverbs can combine with other adverbs to put more emphasis on the verb. When you use ‘more’, ‘most’ and ‘least’, they can show degree when describing a verb.
1.)He’s very good at playing the piano.
2.)She’s almost always late arriving at school.
3.) It’s pretty interesting to see the history of China.
4.) The English test was extremely difficult.
5.) When he wears his running shoes, he moves more quickly among everyone.
Can anyone tell me which sentences have combined adverbs to put emphasis on a singular verb? Can you describe such emphasis?
