核心问题
I don't think they will come tonight. It's ____ impossible.
A. very B. quite C. much D. most(上海高考,90)
我选了A。因为副词very修饰形容词impossible是完全符合语法的。
词典解答
选 A 是错误的,应当选 B。那些不分等级的形容词,即极限形容词是不能由 very 来修饰的,例如,absolute, impossible。
还要记住，quite修饰不分等级的形容词时，作“完全(地)”解，见quite 。
It is ____ that his English is ____ perfect.
A. sure; very B. right; rather C. exact; fairly D. certain; quite
