Adjectives are words that describe the qualities of something. Some adjectives in English are gradable – that means you can have different degrees or levels of that quality.
very good -slightly good -extremely good
Facts about strong adjectives:
They are non-gradable adjectives
With strong adjectives, we don’t use comparatives and superlatives:
My parents’ house is enormous.
My parents’ house is more enormous / the most enormous.
With strong adjectives, we CANNOT use these adverbs: very, extremely, a bit, rather
except: pretty / really
