Understanding Adverb Collocations
Adverb collocations are pairings of adverbs and adjectives that enhance the expressiveness of the English language. The use of these collocations allows speakers to convey stronger meanings and feelings. For instance, using 'deeply concerned' instead of just 'very concerned' emphasizes the seriousness of the concern, making it clearer to the listener. This lesson emphasizes the need to pair adverbs with appropriate adjectives to maintain clarity and impact in communication.
