Strong adjectives
Some adjectives are “base” adjectives (good, bad,
angry, etc) whereas others are “strong” adjectives
(fantastic, awful, furojus, etc.). We can only use
absolutely to make a “strong ” adjective even
stronger (absolutely amazing). We can only use
very with a “base” adjective (very good). We can use
really with “base” or “strong” adjectives (really good,
really awful)

Hi Olga,
How are you? I'm fine but I've been really busy lately! I thought I'd just write
and tell you all about the wonderful day I had last Tuesday. I went to the British
Museum in London with my History class.
Our guide told us that the museum has about 13 million objects altogether and
is one of the oldest museums in the world! There are some absolutely
fascinating collections from many places, including Roman artefacts, Aztec art
and the famous Rosetta Stone. There are also a variety of eating places and
interesting gift shops selling items such as history books and replicas of
museum sculptures and jewellery.
We arrived at the museum at opening time and were taken by our guide to see
the Egyptian exhibition, including mummies and hieroglyphics. Then, we saw
'Lindow Man', which is a 2,000-year-old body of a man from the Iron Age. It
was so interesting! After this we had some free time to wander around the
different exhibits, then we had a drink and a delicious cake in one of the cafes.
All in all, I had a really fantastic day, but I was absolutely exhausted by the end
of it! One of the really good things about the museum is that it's free to get in.
so I'm planning to go back again with my friends next week! Have to go now.
Steven
