Intensifiers are very common. Quite often they will involve a bit of exaggeration: That was absolutely out of this world. You're so amazingly clever. This is undeniably the best work I've seen or will ever ever see. With 'wicked,' we can can also say 'That's wicked!' With 'stupid,,' we can also say 'You beat him stupid' or 'You beat him silly. With that one, it is very important not to add a comma after 'him' or you'll be entitling the reader as 'Stupid' or 'Silly.' I like 'big league' It's gone - big league!
Really? I've heard "stupid good," but I haven't heard "stupid" with verbs. I've certainly heard "silly," as in he drank himself silly. I put a short punctuation quiz on the community tab for members. It goes along with your explanation about the comma.

Hi Jennifer how's it going As always I watch all your videos since 2016 and I have learned a lot from them and your voice is clear and wonderful thanks a bunch Have a great weekend you and your family my dear teacher 😉🇧🇷 stay home and take care
That was wicked good. (I might say this UA-cam lesson is freaking awesome 😁). Learning about Intensifiers and down toners through exercises was really, really exquisite.
@@emadmohsen859 Yes, some define it as "very," but others see it more as "rather." I think a lot depends on a person's tone. You may make "quite" sound like enthusiastic support or a hesitant acknowledgement. www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/quite
You are very welcome! You can have some fun on YouGlish and GetYarn listening to different phrases. People really do say "stupid good," though is still sounds funny to me.
hi Jenifer, I'm Daisy its very nice to meet you! i was wondering if you could make a video on how to introduce yourself to a stranger and also include handshake etiquette. Thank you for reading my comment and good luck for the future :)
Hi. Have you seen my Basic English series? It starts with greetings and introductions. See Lessons 66 and 68. ua-cam.com/play/PLfQSN9FlyB6Rm4xMKTyahH3oUOgF0tU4T.html I love this video: ua-cam.com/video/yDhXD25fmMo/v-deo.html

@@Englishwithjennifer Thank you. But I got a little bit confused. If my memory serves me right, I learned back in 2009 through your video that Boston is the capital of the state of Massachusetts. So what is New England? I know there is nothing bigger than a state. sorry, for taking your time.
Yes, Boston is the capital of Massachusetts. Massachusetts is one of the states in New England, a region in the Northeast. I may make a video about this. :) www.britannica.com/place/New-England

Hello, how are you? I want to learn English. I am not quite fluent in English. I'm not good at listening, not good at speaking, not good at writing. Can you help me?

There are a few different learner's dictionaries that I like. Here's one. www.dictionary.com/browse/don-t?s=t I like this one because it acknowledges different pronunciations and shows if there's reduction. The vowel sound in "don't" doesn't reduce to the schwa, but the E in "them" can. www.dictionary.com/browse/them?s=t
@@Englishwithjennifer Hi，me again .lol .i have another question. When connecting stop consonant to consonant，lets say “it +was”.i know to stop the air，but should the tongue stick up to the “t”position before the“was”？
The glottal stop is like holding your breath. Can you say, "Uh-oh"? Or just hold your breath for two seconds. Do you feel how you're stopping the air in your throat? That's your glottis. It's a movement with your glottis, not your tongue.
JenniferESL thank you sincerely！can i have another question？when making the consonant s ，do we stick r tongue tip to the back of the upper teeth or lower teeth？
Excuse me , we know thah defining relative clauses add essential information to the antecedent and we also know that non defining relative clauses add extra information to the antecedent .I want to ask why we couldn't use that with non relative clauses .what is the reason behind that ?

Might to please tell me if calling random girl ma'am offensive in America ? In India we generally use the word ma'am to address educated or senior woman
This remind us of the word "sorry", and how it can be combined with different intensifiers: I'm very sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm ever so sorry. I'm really, really sorry. I'm honestly sorry. I'm deeply sorry. I'm truly sorry. I'm sincerely sorry. I'm terribly sorry. I'm incredibly sorry. I'm genuinelly sorry. I'm exceedingly sorry. I'm excruciatingly sorry.
Yes, there are many combinations. Some sound more natural than others. "I'm really sorry" and "I'm truly sorry" are very common. I don't think "excruciatingly" is a top pick. Intensifiers are quite fun to work with!
Hi. If you would like to study grammar with me, you can watch my videos. www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/ Look for the grammar playlist.
The British people are famous for these intensifiers: Blinking and Blooming 'You might think it's blinking funny, but I blinking don't. I don't blinking well know. You did a blinking good job there, likes. It's blooming wonderful, Where are my blooming car keys? It's blooming well about time, too.
Is "Bloody " common to say in the US ? I recently saw Dua Lipa say"I blood love it". She said it in Diary of a song by New York Times where she talks about "physical".
@@Englishwithjennifer Sometimes words like that fit an informal conversation better. It is really marvelous. It is flaming marvelous. It is so very hard to do. It is so blinking hard to do. I have a load of infuriating dishes to wash. I have a load of flipping dishes to wash. Ouch! that was extremely hot. Ouch! That was bleeding hot. Oh dear! I'm late. Darn it! I'm late.
Dear teacher, I thank you a lot for this lesson.I have to tell you, without fear of being contradicted, your stunning smile is a downtowner.Have a wonderful weekend dear teacher!
Well, I've never heard a smile described as a downtoner, but "stunning" is certainly a positive word, and I thank you for that. 😃 Take care.

Hello!
My compliment to you is that you are awfully good teacher of English but I don't have time to watch your vedios
Thank you. It's awfully sweet of you to take the time to comment. :)
No, we don't want to know about the way to use "freaking”. Just teach us how to use the F bombs. :p
Ha ha. Well, F bombs won't be in my lessons. It's not my style of teaching. Hollywood can help with those who wish to become proficient in swearing.
You mean down toners can less quality of a talk.
They lessen the degree of a quality:
It's rather loud. = not too loud or very loud, but somewhat loud
"Rather" lessons the degree of "loudness."
