The Answer is Rather . it means "" Surprisingly""
or simply, the film was better than I expected..
quite........................................................:lol: :lol: :lol:
It was quite good; it was quite the best film I have ever seen; but not quite better in this context, in my opinion.I voted for "rather" and the posters seem to agree generally, but is "quite" completely wrong? I think it's not when "quite" is stressed.
Not for me.This is what I had in mind. I'm not asserting that this is right in any other sense than that it's possible. Is it?
Whoknows, whenever a piece of text is underlined with a dotted line, you can place the cursor over it to see an explanation.What is COCA? Nothing on Google. Some sort of dictionary? I see it mentioned several times.
Definitely. It's very useful in my opinion. Have a look at other corpora:Thanks, Birdeen. Do not know where I have been. -
I use my iPad2 for this so there is no cursor for underlined words. Will have to try to find this site on my computer.
Also, COCA says I have the wrong resolution to use their site on my iPad. So, I will look it up on my laptop or husband's PC when I want/need to do so. It does seem to be interestingly different than a dictionary, from the little I was able to see.
