Tom's Date Night
- Tom took Jenny on a cinema date followed by dinner.
- The film was a hit, but the service at the restaurant was terrible, with a long wait for food.
Intensifiers and Adjectives
- Ordinary adjectives, like 'funny', can be modified by intensifiers (e.g., 'quite', 'very').
- These intensifiers provide a nuanced description of the adjective's intensity.
Strong Adjectives
- Strong adjectives like 'hilarious' have an inherent intensity and don't usually need intensifiers.
- Using intensifiers with strong adjectives can be redundant ('a little bit hilarious' = 'a little bit very funny').
