[QUOTE="Fırat, post: 2432, member: 34"] Adjectives describe qualities (characteristics) of nouns. * Some qualities can vary in intensity or grade (for example: rather hot, hot, very hot; hot, hotter, the hottest). The adjective [B]hot [/B]is [B][I]gradable[/I][/B]. * Other qualities cannot vary in intensity or grade because they are: 1. extremes ([COLOR="red"]for example:[/COLOR] freezing) 2. absolutes ([COLOR="red"]for example:[/COLOR] dead) 3. classifying ([COLOR="red"]for example:[/COLOR] nuclear) The adjectives freezing, [B]dead [/B]and [B]nuclear [/B]are [B][I]non-gradable[/I][/B] [COLOR="seagreen"][SIZE="3"][B]Gradable Adjectives[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] A gradable adjective can be used with "grading adverbs" that vary the adjective's grade or intensity. [COLOR="red"]Look at these examples:[/COLOR] [IMG]http://forum.akademikpersonel.org/firat/Grammer/Gradable%20and%20Non-gradable%20Adjectives/Gradable%20and%20Non-gradable%20Adjectives.gif[/IMG] [B]A gradable adjective can also have comparative and superlative forms: [/B] * big, bigger, the biggest * hot, hotter, the hottest * important, more important, the most important [COLOR="red"]Look at these example[/COLOR] sentences: * My teacher was [B]very happy[/B] with my homework. * That website is [B]reasonably popular.[/B] But this one is [B]more popular.[/B] * He said that Holland was [B]a little cold[/B] and Denmark was [B]rather cold[/B]. But Sweden was [B]the coldest. [/B] [COLOR="seagreen"][SIZE="3"][B]Non-gradable Adjectives[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] A non-gradable adjective [B]cannot [/B]be used with grading adverbs: [U] * It was rather freezing outside. * The dog was very dead. * He is investing in slightly nuclear energy. [/U] [B]Non-gradable adjectives do not normally have comparative and superlative forms:[/B] * freezing, [U]more freezing, the most freezing[/U] * dead, [U]deader, the deadest[/U] * nuclear, [U]more nuclear, the most nuclear[/U] [B]Often, non-gradable adjectives are used alone:[/B] * It was [B]freezing [/B]outside. * The dog was [B]dead[/B]. * He is investing in [B]nuclear [/B]energy. However, a non-gradable adjective can be used with "non-grading adverbs" (which usually just give the adjective extra impact),[COLOR="red"] for example:[/COLOR] [IMG]http://forum.akademikpersonel.org/firat/Grammer/Gradable%20and%20Non-gradable%20Adjectives/Gradable%20and%20Non-gradable%20Adjectives%202.gif[/IMG] [COLOR="red"]Here are some example [/COLOR]sentences with non-gradable adjectives: * Her exam results were absolutely awful.
