absolutely tiny = very |
We only use ‘absolutely’ with ‘strong’ adjectives. Listen to another example.
Gordon: It was amazing. I know we can only hear it here, we can’t see it, but when that humpback whale came up then it was so close I could smell its breath – it was absolutely incredible. |
|
|
|
Really |
He said that whale watching is ‘a really big business’. ‘Really’ is a useful word because we can use it with strong adjectives like ‘incredible’ and with ‘ordinary’ adjectives like ‘big’. So we can say ‘It was really huge’ or ‘It was really big’. If you want to make an adjective stronger, ‘really’ is a good word to use. Now, I wonder if you noticed a little word when Tess and Ravi were playing the quiz against each other. Listen to how Gordon says what the score is in the quiz. |
|
|
|
Nil |
Gordon said ‘two nil to Tess’ and ‘Three nil to Tess’. What do you think ‘nil’ means? It means ‘nothing’ or ‘zero’ – but we only usually use it in some sports or things like quizzes. One place you often hear it is in football scores – you might say ‘My team won two nil’. But you can’t use it in every situation. When you give someone your telephone number for example you say ‘zero’ or ‘nought’ or even ‘oh’. There are different ways to say ‘zero’ and it can be difficult to remember them but ‘nil’ is usually used for team sports. |
