Adjectives are words that describe the qualities of something. There are
different kinds of adjectives in English. Adjectives can be gradable and nongradable, which is called extreme adjectives.
Gradable adjectives mean different degrees or levels of the quality. We can
use these adjectives with some adverbs
( like a bit, very, really, extremely, quite, etc.) to show the degrees of the
quality.
Example: for “Difficult”, we can say a little bit difficult, rather difficult, very
difficult, or extremely difficult
Non-gradable / Extreme / Strong adjectives do not have different degrees
or levels of quality. We can also use these adjectives with
some adverbs ( like absolutely, completely, really, mainly, etc.). Extreme
adjectives( non-gradable adjectives) mean very + adjective.
Example: big –> huge ( means very big)
