Adverbs of intensity are usually placed
before the adjective, adverb, or verb
that they modify, although there are
some exceptions. The words "too",
"enough", "very", and "extremely" are
examples of adverbs of degree.

Remember This
Adverbs of intensity tell us the
degree or intensity of an action,
adjective or another adverb.
With adjectives, the adverb of
intensity goes before the adjective.
With adverbs as well, the adverb of
degree goes before the adverb.
