ini karena pengetahuan tentang adverb itu juga penting. Langsung saja kepokok bahasan
kita yaitu adverbs of degree. Dalam bahasa Indonesia Adverbs of Degree adalah kata
keterangan tingkat. Adverb ini menerangkan atau menunjukan sejauh mana sesuatu itu
terjadi, menerangkan intensitas suatu kata sifat dan juga adverb/kata keterangan. Jadi

dll
