Hi everyone, Sam here.
And in this lesson,
we're going to look at 4 different uses of 'quite'.
We use 'quite' before an adjective or adverb
to mean 'less than very, but more than a little'.
It's quite cold and it's raining quite heavily today.
We can use 'quite' before a verb
– often the verbs 'like' and 'enjoy'.
I quite like watching football but I don't love playing it.
We can use 'quite a' before an adjective + noun.
My brother is quite a good musician.
But if we take the adjective away,
and just have 'quite a' + noun,
the meaning changes.
My brother is quite a musician,
which means 'my brother is a very good musician.
He's impressive.
So quite is quite useful, isn't it?
