QUITE
Theory:
QUITE is normally used with an adjective. It is used to change the value of the adjective.
Example:
This exercise is difficult.
This exercise is QUITE difficult.
The meaning of quite depends on the kind of adjective it is used with.
If the adjective has a fixed value, like IMPOSSIBLE, because something is either impossible or not, then QUITE means completely.
Example:
This problem is impossible to solve.
This problem is QUITE impossible to solve, which means it is completely impossible.
If the adjective has different values, like HAPPY, then QUITE means fairly.
Example:
I feel happy.
I feel QUITE happy, which means I feel fairly happy.
QUITE can also be used with NOT to give NOT QUITE.
When used with NOT, it always means not completely
Example:
The bottle is NOT QUITE EMPTY means it is not completely empty.
Exercises:
