Exercise Strong Adjectives

There are two types of adjectives in English - gradable and extreme. Gradable adjectives describe qualities on a scale and can be modified by adverbs to indicate degree, such as saying something is very difficult rather than just difficult. Extreme adjectives represent the highest point on a scale and cannot be further modified, such as describing something as gorgeous rather than more beautiful. The document provides examples of gradable adjectives and their extreme counterparts.
