Modern English was a "dead" language in the last century, with a generation of students who never spoke much the language in a personal way; a "very dead*" language, wasn't it?
A: Can you tell us the best way of making lists to learn Gradable / extreme adjectives?
B: Well, If I follow some sheer cold logic ...
A: I don't mind.
B: It's pretty ridiculous when you think about it. You know I mean? it's a fairly impossible job.
A: You mean if I learn lists, these lists are to be far less useful than the practical usage of the square roots in arithmetics?
B: how many times have you used square roots in your practical life?
A: None.
B: Yeah, a comprehensive nonsense. I gues it is well wrth to find them in the texts you listen to.
A: But I always study English but do not watch English series or listen to audio books.
B: Thus, It must be well worth a try!
A: Are you quite certain**?
A: Are you quite certain**?
B: It has to do with the least helpful sense of all: your common sense.
A; More than surprised I am astonished.
B: Well, a thoroughly enjoyable conversation indeed.
The meaning of the adverb "very dead*" language is not correct! But some speakers say it nevertheless
** "quite" changes according to the type of adjective we use it with:
Quite bad (a bit more than fairly); Quite certain (= absolutely)
** "quite" changes according to the type of adjective we use it with:
Quite bad (a bit more than fairly); Quite certain (= absolutely)
