Grammar
very and quite
Hi,
I was told that words 'very' and 'quite' are adverbs. To me, an adverb gives more information about when, how, where, or in what circumstances something happens, Do the two words fit this definition?
I am very happy
That was quite a response you gave. Thank you.
You are quite smart,
