Degree adverbs (slightly) and focusing adverbs (generally)
Degree and focusing adverbs are the most common types of modifiers of adjectives and other adverbs. Degree adverbs express degrees of qualities, properties, states, conditions and relations. Focusing adverbs point to something. Degree adverbs absolutely enough perfectly somewhat a (little) bit entirely pretty terribly a lot extremely quite too almost fairly rather totally awfully highly remarkably utterly completely lots slightly very Mary will be staying a bit longer. (a bit longer = for a little more time) It all happened pretty quickly. She was quite surprised they came, actually. It was £3.52 if you want to be totally accurate. Focusing adverbs especially just mainly particularly generally largely only simply I just wanted to ask you what you thought. I wouldn’t particularly like to move to a modern house. Evaluative adverbs (surprisingly) and viewpoint adverbs (personally) We put some adverbs outside the clause. They modify the whole sentence or utterance. Evaluative and viewpoint adverbs are good examples of this: The electric car, surprisingly, does not really offer any advantages over petrol cars. (evaluative) Personally, I think the show was great. (viewpoint) Linking adverbs (then, however) Linking adverbs show a relationship between two clauses or sentences (e.g. a sequence in time, cause and effect, contrast between two things): I left my house in the morning [sequence]then I went to pick up Leanne at her house. [cause]We talked until the early hours and [effect]consequently I overslept the next morning. (the result of the late night is that I was late the next morning) The sun will be shining in France. [contrast]However, heavy rain is expected in Spain. Warning: We can use then and consequently to join clauses or sentences. We usually use but not however to connect two clauses in the same sentence: There was no room for them but they got on the train. There was no room for them. However, they got on the train.
