What is Adverb+Adjective

collocation?

We form adverb and adjective collocation by putting adverb

before the adjective.

Adverbs can also modify adjectives. Often, the purpose of the

adverb is to add a degree of intensity to the adjective.

While adjectives describe nouns and pronouns, adverbs can

enhance or clarify the adjectives to make them even more clear

and exact.

The meaning of most adverbs in this combination is “very”. For

example: deeply absorbed, closely acquainted, hopelessly

addicted, etc.
