Adjectives: gradable and non-gradable (B1-B2)

🎥Watch the video and complete the short quiz at the end to test your skills.

💻Let's practice!
Do the sorting task and check yourself.

1. Thermometer / Intensity Scale Task
   Look at the infographic below and arrange the modifiers and adjectives on an intensity scale from weakest to strongest.

   Example: a bit cold ➔ very cold ➔ extremely cold ➔ absolutely freezing
   
   

2. Spot the Error: Sentence Tasks
   Here are five sentences based on the visual guide; correct the errors, write the answers, and add some explanation.
   The first sentence is already done for you.
   
   1. Put on a warm coat—it is very freezing outside today!

   ❌ Error: very freezing
   ✅ Correction: "It is extremely cold outside today!" OR "It is absolutely freezing outside today!"
   💡 Rule: Freezing is an extreme (non-gradable) adjective and takes absolute modifiers like absolutely.
   We can use very with the gradable adjective cold.

   2. Don't worry about the homework; the project is already a bit finished.

   3. I spent hours on this math problem, but it is a bit impossible to solve.

   4. After running the marathon, the athletes were absolutely tired.

   5. We couldn't fit the sofa into the living room because it was extremely enormous.

📝Think of the last film you watched or meal you ate.
Write a 6-sentence review describing it using 3 gradable adjectives (e.g., very cold, extremely tasty) and 3 non-gradable adjectives (e.g., freezing, delicious).

Example:
Last night I watched a new sci-fi film, and it was absolutely fantastic. The main plot was a bit confusing at times, but the visual effects were really impressive. However, the cinema hall was freezing, so bring a warm jacket! The ticket price was very high, but the ending was unforgettable overall. I would definitely recommend it!
