What's new on IELTS with Fiona

This list shows the best and most useful 'extreme' adjectives.

TIP: Ignore all of the apps and social media posts with lists of words to use instead of 'VERY'.

Most of them give examples that are just WRONG.

Here, they suggest using 'frigid' as a synonym for ‘very cold’.

Yes, you can use ‘frigid’ to mean ‘very cold’ in very specific, formal and usually written contexts, usually in relation to the weather.

But it has other connotations, and if you say “I’m frigid” instead of “I’m very cold”, it will sound very strange indeed.

So stay safe, use well-known lists of extreme adjectives e.g. very cold = absolutely freezing.
