Hi Sovan! It might sound okay, but grammatically, "breathtaking" is a Strong Adjective. It already means "very beautiful". Saying "very very beautiful" sounds a bit redundant, right? That's why we use "absolutely" instead. ✨
How many adjectives should I put in one sentence? Can I say: "It was a beautiful, ancient, noisy, big city"?
Great try, Lida! But putting too many adjectives in a row makes the sentence heavy and hard to read. A good rule is to use a maximum of 2 or 3 adjectives before a noun. (e.g., "It was a beautiful, ancient city, but it was very noisy"). Balance is key! ⚖️
Is there a difference between "historic" and "ancient"? Can I say my grandfather is ancient?
Haha! Please don't call your grandfather ancient! "Ancient" means thousands of years old (like the Pyramids or Angkor Wat). "Historic" means something is important in history (like a famous building). For people, we just use "old" or "elderly". 🏛️
Can I use "boring" for a place? Or is there a better B1 word?
You can definitely use "boring", but if you want to sound more advanced, try using "dull" (ធុញទ្រាន់/សោះកក្រោះ) or "uninspiring". It makes your writing much more descriptive! ✍️
Teacher, can I say "very breathtaking"? It sounds okay to me.
