Adverbs act as modifiers within the sentence structure, altering verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, with specific rules for intensifiers and ungradable adjectives. Regarding the use of intensifiers and degree adverbs in comparative structures and with ungradable adjectives, judge the following statements as True (T) or False (F):
(__) "Much" and "far" are grammatically correct intensifiers for comparative adjectives (e.g., "much better").
(__) "Very" can modify strong or ungradable adjectives like "exhausted" or "freezing".
(__) "Hardly" is an adverb of manner meaning "with a lot of effort" or "energetically".
(__) The adverb "enough" must always follow the adjective or adverb it modifies (e.g., "good enough").
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:

  • A T, F, F, T
  • B T, T, F, T
  • C F, F, T, F
  • D F, T, T, F

“ESP draws on various disciplines, including education, linguistics, and communication, and emphasizes the importance of sociocultural competence—understanding how to use language appropriately within specific social and cultural contexts. Key methodologies in ESP include corpus linguistics, which utilizes large collections of texts to identify essential vocabulary and grammatical patterns relevant to specialized fields. Additionally, genre analysis helps learners recognize the structural elements of texts within their discourse communities, thereby aiding their ability to produce contextually appropriate written and spoken communication.


As globalization continues to increase the demand for specialized English training, ESP is evolving to address the unique linguistic needs of diverse professional environments, making it an increasingly popular and valuable area of study.”
