| Welcome to the Lesson. |
| In this lesson we look at words in English which are often called INTENSIFIERS. |
| Look at these sentences and the words in red: |

He's a better player by far than me. I honestly don't know what you mean. I badly needed to talk to him. I simply don't accept this excuse. He ignored me completely. I quite forgot. I entirely agree with you. I absolutely refuse to travel by train. I want to do this a great deal. He actually told her in public. |
| Can you put these words into three groups? |
| Words that emphasize - these make a statement stronger. |
| Words that maximize - these show the top of the scale. |
| Words that intensify - these show a high point in a scale. |
