Grammar

much = intensifier

0Dear teachers,02br
02br
00This morning I had a very quick look at a grammar book (Oxford or Longman, I don't remember) which said that 01b00much02b00 (in "much nicer"), 01b00a little02b00 (in "a little tired"? I can't remember the example exactly) and other expressions (I can't remember which) were adverbs of degree whether I thought they could only be adjectives, i.e., quantifiers. Could you tell me more about this, please? Other than the usual intensifiers I know (so, too, enough, fairly, rather, quite, such, very, really) which are the words/expressions that are considered as adverbs of degree ? I'm not talking about the usual adverbs such as 01u00completely02u00, 01u00extremely02u00, 01u00totally02u00, etc., but are these called 01b00intensifiers02b00 too?02br

00All the best,02br
