Cheap × Expensive

Cheap

Barato(a)

(Este café é barato. Custa apenas $2.)

Expensive

Caro(a)

Intensifiers: Very & Really

O que são intensificadores?

Usamos very e really antes de um adjetivo para dar ênfase — funcionam como "muito" ou "realmente" em português.

The car is expensive. (O carro é caro.)
The car is very expensive. (O carro é muito caro.)
The coffee is really cheap. (O café é realmente barato.)

Dica: Very e really vêm ANTES do adjetivo, nunca depois.
