What are Strong Adjectives in English Grammar?

Strong adjectives, also known as extreme or absolute adjectives, are adjectives that express a high degree of a quality without needing additional modifiers like "very" or "extremely." These adjectives convey intensity and are used to emphasize the strength of the described attribute. Unlike regular adjectives, strong adjectives inherently carry a stronger meaning.

Tiny: very small
  • Example: "The kitten was tiny compared to the others."
Huge: very large

Exhausted: very tired

Delicious: very tasty

Terrified: very scared

Freezing: very cold
  • Example: "The water in the lake was freezing."
Boiling: very hot
  • Example: "The soup was boiling and needed to cool down."
Filthy: very dirty
