Example: "If we expand to Asia, we'll likely see a 20% increase in profits."

Second Conditional (unreal situations or unlikely possibilities in the future):

Usage: Comparatives enable you to differentiate items, services, or data by directly comparing them. This is essential for emphasizing a brand's strengths or spotting growth areas.

Superlatives, on the other hand, highlight the pinnacle or the absolute bottom in a set. In business lingo, this could mean the 'best-selling product' or the 'least profitable quarter.'

Structure: Multi-syllable adjectives: Use "more" or "less" before the adjective for the comparative form and "most" or "least" for the superlative form.

Comparative: more/less + adjective

Superlative: most/least + adjective

Short adjectives (usually one syllable): Add "-er" for the comparative form and "-est" for the superlative form.

Comparative: adjective + -er

Superlative: adjective + -est

Some adjectives have irregular comparative and superlative forms (e.g., good/better/best, bad/worse/worst).

Examples: "Our tech team is larger than theirs, allowing for more comprehensive support."
"This quarter was the most profitable one in the last fiscal year."
"Our research methods are more meticulous than those of our immediate rivals."
"Despite being newer to the market, our product has the highest customer retention rate."

Usage: Intensifiers are adverbs that modify adjectives or other adverbs to amplify or reduce their intensity. In the corporate setting, they're instrumental in driving a point home, adding weight to statements, and persuading stakeholders. They make your claims more compelling in pitches, presentations, and discussions.

Common Intensifiers: Amplifying Intensifiers: very, absolutely, extremely, totally, utterly, thoroughly, perfectly, quite, pretty (informal), really, completely, entirely, and wildly.

Diminishing Intensifiers: somewhat, slightly, kind of (informal), sort of (informal), a bit, and a little.

Examples: "We are absolutely certain about the feasibility of this project."
"The feedback from the focus groups was extremely positive."
"I'm totally convinced that our marketing approach will yield results."
"The new software update is quite impressive in terms of performance."
"Profits this quarter have been somewhat lower than projected."
"I'm slightly concerned about the upcoming regulatory changes."
"The sales figures for last month were pretty good."
"The product recall had an utterly negative impact on our brand reputation."
