Happy 2022 to you. Thanks for answering and helping me with my doubts. May this year bring us all what 2021 and the previous years in our lives could not.
Hello Sarah, my teacher! It's nice to see you again for a quite long time. Than you for the interesting lesson. The following is my answer. 1. It was an incredibly long day! 2. It was quite a long day. 3. It was not at all a long day. I hope my answer is correct. See you very soon, Sarah. Take care!
Hello, Sarah. Many thanks for your sharing. My answers are: - weaken strength: It was a fairly long day; It was a quite long day; It was a rather long day; It was an at all long day (is it right?); - moderate/medium: It was somewhat a long day; - real punch: It was an insanely long day.
Hi Madhu, sorry it's take so long to get back to you. I don't really have a list as such but found this online: GRADABLE ADJECTIVES NON-GRADABLE ADJECTIVES big huge, enormous small tiny tired exhausted hungry starving excited thrilled afraid terrified, petrified warm, hot boiling, scorching cool, cold freezing good great, awesome bad terrible, awful old ancient angry furious interesting fascinating beautiful gorgeous dirty filthy I hope that helps!
Hello madam, nice explanation. If I have a friend who is so bad tempered that I don't want to visit him anymore,what should I use: He is too grumpy to visit/ He is too grumpy to be visited.
Hello madam, hope you are fine. I have a question "Of all the movies I have watched so far, this movie is the best, which other movies are as nothing compared to" and " He has already befriended Joey, who no other boy in the college can hold a candle to" . Are these sentences grammatically correct and do they make sense?
Hi Akshat, "Of all the movies I have watched so far, this movie is the best." Your sentence works up until this point but after that is not correct. Maybe you could say, "Other movies are nothing in comparison." The second sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense. I hope that helps! See you soon, Akshat!
Hello, Wishing you a delightful Christmas 🎄. Please correct this sentence," Of all the women in each country, the women in this country are among the most famous"
What is the best option in this sentence? He is somewhat less confident due to the injured he got in a robbery. He is somewhat less confident because of the injuries he got in a robbery.
The second option is better and more grammatically correct: "He is somewhat less confident because of the injuries he got in a robbery." This sentence uses "because of" to indicate the cause of his decreased confidence and also corrects the grammatical error in the original sentence.
Hi Bahia, Well done, some great ideas! It is a really long day, it is quite a long day, it is somewhat a long day, it is a mildly long day. I hope that helps!
Hi Bahia, Well done, but don't forget the article. It was an insanely long day, it was quite a long day, it was such a long day. For a downtoner, how about it was a fairly long day?
Hi Jeany, I wouldn't use absolutely. It would be better to say, "It was a really or extremely long day." Very ( a bit lighter) and fairly ( even light) work. I hope that helps. 😊

Hello madam, nice explanation. If I have a friend who is so bad tempered that I don't want to visit him anymore,what should I use: He is too grumpy to visit/ He is too grumpy to be visited.
Hi Akshat, I would say the first sentence is better. I hope that helps!

its so helpfull.
Most welcome 😊
Hello madam, hope you are fine. I have a question
"Of all the movies I have watched so far, this movie is the best, which other movies are as nothing compared to" and " He has already befriended Joey, who no other boy in the college can hold a candle to" . Are these sentences grammatically correct and do they make sense?
Hi Akshat, "Of all the movies I have watched so far, this movie is the best." Your sentence works up until this point but after that is not correct. Maybe you could say, "Other movies are nothing in comparison." The second sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense. I hope that helps! See you soon, Akshat!
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Hi again, teacher.
are these sentences correct and have same meaning?
1) Jack is totally insane.
2) Jack is totally an insane guy.
Hi lin da,
For sentence 2 I would say, Jack is a totally insane guy, is better. And they both mean the same. I hope that helps!
@@oxfordenglishnow thanks, teacher 😁
Good
Thanks
Hello, Wishing you a delightful Christmas 🎄. Please correct this sentence," Of all the women in each country, the women in this country are among the most famous"
Hi Akshat, wishing you a Happy New Year! Your sentence is correct. 😊
@@oxfordenglishnow thanks madam and wishing you the same.
It was an extremely long day

It was a rather long day
Wonderful! Well done!
What is the best option in this sentence?
He is somewhat less confident due to the injured he got in a robbery.
He is somewhat less confident because of the injuries he got in a robbery.
The second option is better and more grammatically correct:
"He is somewhat less confident because of the injuries he got in a robbery."
This sentence uses "because of" to indicate the cause of his decreased confidence and also corrects the grammatical error in the original sentence.
It's very, really, quite, pretty somewhat, mildly long day => moderate strength
Hi Bahia, Well done, some great ideas! It is a really long day, it is quite a long day, it is somewhat a long day, it is a mildly long day. I hope that helps!
It was a so long day.It was a very long day. It was a rather long day
Hi Jean, you would say, it was such a long day. What about using a more interesting intensifier than very? It was an incredibly long day!
It was an incredibly long day. It was a pretty' long day . It was not a long day at all, at work today.
Hi Maria, excellent! Well done!
Oxford English Now I love your work❣️

@@oxfordenglishnow thank you so much
It was a really long day
Oh dear. Take a break! Well done for the sentence!

It's fairly ,rather, quite long journey => downtfair

It was a long day

Is it correct?😄
Hi Jeany, I wouldn't use absolutely. It would be better to say, "It was a really or extremely long day." Very ( a bit lighter) and fairly ( even light) work. I hope that helps. 😊
Thankyou so much
Weak adjectives etc.
Yes, I included strong adjectives but could have included weak ones too.
Oxford English Now gradable n ungradable adjectives . Could u expand in this subject? Thanks💕
