5 Language focus We use intensifiers to give a stronger meaning to adjectives and verbs. We can use really, very, or so to strengthen an adjective: I was really / very good at hiding! Some skipping games are so difficult. We can also use really to strengthen a verb: I really liked playing hopscotch. We can use at all to strengthen negative sentences: He didn't like skipping at all! We can also use quite to make the meaning of an adjective less strong: I thought hopscotch was quite good, but I preferred skipping. 4 Put the words in the correct order to make sentences 1 board games. / I / like / really / playing 2 quite / Skateboarding / good. / is 3 football/think/I/so/ is / exciting. 4 Nadia / marbles. / pretty / very / some / has 5 didn't / Asser / train sets / at all. / like Choose the correct word to complete the sentences 1 2 I (really / very) liked playing with cuddly toys when I was younger.
