Intensificadores:

¿Para qué se utiliza?

Un intensificador se utiliza para dar énfasis al significado de las palabras que le siguen. Cambian la fuerza (o graduación) de la palabra o del adjetivo. Los intensificadores más frecuentes son very, quite, too, so, such y enough

¿Cómo y cuándo se utilizan?

* Very se utiliza delante de la mayor parte de los adjetivos y de los adverbios y delante de few y little. No puede usarse ante adjetivos o adverbios comparativos. En este caso se debe usar much.

* Quite tiene dos significados dependiendo del adjetivo que lleve detrás. Si el adjetivo tiene grados, es decir que describe una cualidad con distinta graduación (bueno, mejor) entonces significa bastante. Puede ir delante de un adjetivo + nombre. Si el nombre es singular y va precedido de un artículo, quite se coloca delante del artículo. También  puede ir delante de a few, a little, y a lot of.

* Too va delante de un adjetivo o adverbio. Suele tener el sentido de "más que suficiente" o "más de lo necesario". Puede ir delante también de much, many, few y little.

* So se usa ante adjetivos que no van seguidos por nombres. Se usa también ante adverbios y ante much o many que sí pueden ir seguidos de nombres.

* Such se usa ante un nombre o ante un nombre + adjetivo. Cuando el nombre es singular y va precedido por un artículo, such se coloca delante del artículo.

* Enough  Se utiliza siempre delante de los adjetivos o adverbios que modifica. Luego del adjetivo, puede agregarse "to" más un verbo. Si se usa con sustantivos, significa "demasiado/a/os/as" y va siempre seguido de many o much, dependiendo del tipo de sustantivo contable o incontable.
