Thanks a lot for such an informative lesson on adjectives. I think, reading is the only way to be master at the uses of adjectives through various topics on different issues.

Thank you very much, Daniel and Marie, for the lesson. At first, I thought topic would be simple but I was wrong. the lesson has given me some really delicate knowledge about adjectives. For the first time I know that there are gradable and ungradable adjectives and some adjectives require strict position to noun.
like any vocabulary in English, an adjective has many different meanings. Every time when I cannot find the right meaning of a word in sentence, I usually resort to the Cambridge dictionary. It offers many examples with as many contexts so I finally can find the right meaning of the word. I am very pleased to know that you also suggest the Cambridge dictionary to the leaners in this lesson.
Goodbye and see you next time in your Adverb topic.
