About this document
Understanding Gradable and Non-Gradable Adjectives by Teodora Ioana is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses different types of adjectives - gradable, non-gradable absolute, and extreme. Gradable adjectives like "cold" can take modifiers to indicate degree such as "really cold". Non-gradable absolute adjectives like "finished" use modifiers like "completely" to strengthen their meaning. Extreme adjectives already imply a high degree and take modifiers like "absolutely" or "really" to strengthen further. Examples and lists of common adjectives for each type are provided.
