Adjectives with Verbs to the Senses

We should remember that an Adjective, not an Adverb, is used after verbs to the senses. They are : look, sound, smell, feel, taste.

1. I felt bad about the mistake.
2. The meal tastes good.
3. The music sounds sweet and soothing.
4. Although the medicine tastes bad, it seems to help my condition.
5. I love to go to the country in the spring because the wild flowers smell so sweet.
6. When he complained that the food tasted bad, the waiter took it back to the kitchen and brought him something else.
7. If one is suffering from a psychosomatic illness, i.e. a disease contributed to by mental anxiety, one may still feel very bad.

Excess - Very

We should remember that 'Very' used for emphasis. Very does not usually introduce a Claus or Infinitive that expresses result. In Spoken English, you may hear 'So' instead of 'Very'.

1. This tea is very/so hot.
2. We went out to it because we were very hungry.
3. This dorm has very small rooms.
4. Dhaka is very big, and I am not used to it.
5. Last month, I had a very high electric bill.
6. John says that the courts are very lenient.
7. Young rivers have no flood plains and their valleys are very narrow.

Excess - Too

We should remember that 'too' means excessively. The 'too' clause expresses cause. The infinitive expresses result.

cause - Adjective = Result - Infinitive
1. This tea is too hot to drink.
2. This man is too young to retire.
3. The top shelf in the cupboard is too high for me to reach.
4. The water is too cold to go swimming.
