What is intensive adjective?

An intensive adjective is an adjective that emphasizes the quality it describes. It intensifies the meaning of the adjective, making it stronger or more forceful.

Here's how they work:

* They are formed by adding the suffix "-ly" to an adjective:

* *beautiful* becomes *beautifully*

* *terrible* becomes *terribly*

* *good* becomes *well* (an exception)

* They often modify verbs, adverbs, or other adjectives:

* *She sings beautifully.*

* *He was terribly late.*

* *It's a wonderfully warm day.*

* They can also be used to emphasize a noun:

* *The food was deliciously prepared.*

* *He's a perfectly decent guy.*

Examples of Intensive Adjectives:

* Beautifully

* Terribly

* Wonderfully

* Perfectly

* Extremely

* Absolutely

* Completely

* Totally

Intensive adjectives add emphasis and emotion to writing, making it more descriptive and impactful.
