Hi everyone, Sam here. And in this lesson, we're going to look at 4 different uses of quite.

We use quite before an adjective or adverb to mean 'less than very, but more than a little'. It's quite cold and it's raining quite heavily today.

We can use quite before a verb – often the verbs 'like' and 'enjoy'. I quite like watching football but I don't love playing it.

We can use quitea before an adjective + noun. My brother is quite a good musician. But if we take the adjective away, and just have quite a + noun, the meaning changes. My brother is quite a musician, which means 'my brother is a very good musician. He's impressive.

So quite is quite useful, isn't it?
