Extreme adjectives

Normal adjectives can be modified by "very". 

Ex: You are very good at maths.
       The house was very big.


Extreme adjectives have a much stronger meaning than their normal equivalents. You don't use "very" with extreme adjectives, you use "absolutely".

Ex: You are very brilliant.  
The house was very enourmous. > The house was absolutely enormous.
