Intensifiers (Very, Too and Enough)

Intensifiers are adverbs or adverbial phrases that strengthen the meaning of other expressions and show emphasis.

Or, Intensifier is a linguistic term for a modifier that makes no contribution to the propositional meaning of a clause but serves to enhance and give additional emotional context to the word it modifies.

An intensifier will have no real meaning in itself and can usually be removed from the sentence. The sole purpose of an intensifier is to tell us about the intensity of another word.

Examples of Intensifiers in Sentences

Here are some examples of intensifiers (shaded) in sentences:

(There is no intensifier in this sentence.)

(In this example, the intensifier very strengthens the adjective tasty. Of note, very is the most common intensifier in English.)

(There is no intensifier in this sentence.)

The delegation is very late.
