A qualifier weakens or lessens the impact of

modify adjectives or adverbs, telling to what degree.

These words make the adjective that follows it stronger or weaker.

some qualifiers can’t be used with some adjectives; for example, we

can say very/really/quite/extremely intelligent, but not

totally intelligent

we can say absolutely perfect but not very/slightly perfect.

3- Education in the UAE has greatly improved. 4- Today, even more students in the UAE finish university.

5- The museum had a great deal of fascinating Arabic art.

1- We use words like very, really and extremely to

make adjectives stronger:

It's a very interesting story. Everyone was very excited. It's a really interesting story. Everyone was extremely excited.

Intensifier strengthens or emphasizes the importance of a word or phrase in a sentence

We call these words intensifiers. Other intensifiers are: amazingly/exceptionally/incredibly/unusually/ particularly

We also use enough to say more about an adjective, but enough comes after its adjective: If you are seventeen, you are old enough to drive a car. I can't wear those shoes. They're not big enough.

There is enough cake for the event.

Meaning

The speaker is saying that the amount of cake will be able to feed everyone at the event.
