Some sentences may be correct and yet something is still missing:
I was walking throught the forest. I saw a fox.
They sound boring and lifeless.
Give more background information with attributes:
I was walking slowlythrough the dark and peaceful forest.
Then I suddenly saw a small red fox.
Here's another example:
There was a house.
There was an old house.
There was a really old house with a sagging roof and some broken windows in the attic.
Adjectives describe nouns and adverbs describe verbs or other adjectives /adverbs:
I was walking quite carefully and slowlythrough the really dark and peaceful forest.
Adverbs of degree
Adverbs of degree are used to modify verbs, adverbs and adjectives. They tell us the intensity to which something happens.
- barely
- hardly
- narrowly
- scarcely
…
- fairly
- pretty
- quite
- rather
- somewhat
…
- absolutely
- completely
- deeply
- decidedly
- entirely
- extremely
- incredibly
- really
- very
Tip
Don't overdo it! Don't give every adjective its own adverb of degree but sprinkle it into your guided writing!
Inversion
Sometimes you want to strenghten your point of view by putting the adverb first:
Little did I know ...
Never have I seen such wildlife.
Rarely do foxes show themselves.
Not only did she do ...
Tip
These sentence structures are only used in writing, never in conversation!

The Test
We had an English test. I was almost finished when I saw a bird outside the window.
Its colorful feathers looked absolutely wonderful.
The bird was sitting on the window sill and I was barely moving.
I felt incredibly lucky to see such a beautiful creature but my teacher was terribly grumpy today.
