It is important to know which adjectives are "GRADABLE" or "NON-GRADABLE". Gradable adjectives can be further described by using "mitigators" (e.g. very, slightly, rather, somewhat), whilst non-gradable adjectives can be emphasised further through "intensifiers" (e.g. completely, absolutely, totally, utterly).
Knowing these rules will also useful if you want to achieve a B2/C1 level of English, or an IELTS 6 grade and above in an English speaking or writing test. These words will help you improve your English speaking skills, especially if you do what this video teaches you!

Thank you for the very good news for me.❤️😊🙏
Doesn't "rather" have a negotive connotation? Also , quite, pretty and really can be used with both gradable/ non-gradable.
Thanks for the comment! "Rather" is a more formal/understated way of emphasizing either a positive or a negative. Whilst you may see "pretty" and "really" being used with non-gradables in some instances, they are much more commonly associated with gradables.
