Absolutely thrilled 😉
Thank you
Thanks
I am really happy about your video
Wonderful!
All the teachers r great
She showed "quite happy" below the average as she meant "fairly", but we know that "quite" also means "absolutely, completely" so how do we tell the difference?
Thank you for the video. I want to learn how to use basically and literally. Can you give a teaching video on these two words? Or you can teach me through the comment.
It's a good suggestion. Thanks.
Marvellous lesson, Deat Prof. Might I trouble you for a question? Could I just use “ pretty” instead of “ really” ?
And could I use quite with non-gradable adjective?
You are the be-all and end-all. Love you.
We use ‘pretty’ like ‘quite’- they can both be used with gradable adjectives. You will sometimes hear both ‘quite’ and ‘pretty’ being used with extreme adjectives - eg. I’m quite/ pretty exhausted after that run! - but it’s used for emphasis in spoken speech, so we wouldn’t recommend you used it in writing.
really thrilled
You really make us learn English by osmosis and that's diffinintely what we want.
This video is incredibly good¡ just one question... Is it the same meaning if I say: I am absolutely, really, utterly, completely, totally thrilled ??? Thanks a lot
'Thrilled' is a strong adjective so we could use all of those words to modify it. There isn't really a difference in meaning, only in style or sound. So choose your favourite!
LOVE FROM INDIA....
So the rule is
We use very and really with gradable adjective?!!!
We use really and absolutely with extreme adjective?!!!
I hope someone answer me
I am really love english and i want to use it like native spaker.
What is the difference between Gradable adjectives and extreme adjectives ? 😶😑🙃
Yes, you are correct!
hey SAM .Hey BBC . Thanks for the amazing video .Well, I have a question :
why do we use 'quite ' sometimes to mean " completely ?
obviously you used it in the video meaning " on average " . Help me please .
secondly: do we use the word ' quite ' with both gradable and non-gradable adjectives , same like the word ' really' ?
Good questions, Alavaro82! The meaning of 'quite' depends on the words that it is used with. When we use 'quite' with gradable adjectives, it has the meaning of 'a little, moderately but not very' - it's similar to 'rather' or 'fairly'. When we use 'quite' with non-gradable adjectives, then it has the meaning of 'completely'.
@@bbclearningenglish Thanks a million . Just one more question please . Rather means fairly , but sometimes I hear it in movies meaning " very " . Is that true ?
🌺♥️🌺
In spanish. Alguien que sepa inglés me puede traducir en español ?😅. Estoy estudiando inglés por mi cuenta y no se cuándo usar VERY OR REALLY? . Y creo que este video tiene la respuesta a mi pregunta .... gracias
thank you is there a video how to use really and absolutely with verbs for example we say I really love
I absolutely hate
Gradable and countable is the same thing?
It's C
C
Well,can we say :totally thrilled?
That would be possible, AH Nahas!
@@bbclearningenglish
So could you make a video about the difference between, too,so,and very?
So How can I know of the word is gradable or not????
"quite thrilled" is also correct?
I'm angry
I really angry
I'm furious

How about a campaign to teach people how to pronounce THE and how to use A and AN in speech.....?.. I'm referring to native English speakers.
I would be really delighted if the BBC would teach it's broadcasters/interviewers not to overuse the word 'absolutely'
Can you use totally or utterly thrilled as Well?
You can.
omg ............thrilled is really difficult to pronounce for native Chinese speakers
Sam is the male name?
No, here Sam is short for Samantha.
Really thrilled?
