5. Fairly, Rather
Both these words mean ‘moderately’. ‘Fairly’ is used with positive adjectives and
adverbs; ‘rather’ is used with negative adjectives and adverbs. For example,
y That was a fairly quick and smart decision.
y She is a fairly reliable person.
y That was a rather hasty and foolish decision.
y He is a rather unreliable person.
E. Fill in the blanks with fairly or rather. Remember
1. Suman is a good singer. ‘Quite’ does NOT
mean ‘very’.

3. Ayush is a honest person.
4. Tara is difficult to talk to.
5. Tripti is quick with her sums.
6. Neha’s cupboard is shabby.
