- be quite ill- do smth quite wellCHOICE OF WORDS:See absolutely, advUSAGE:(1.) Наречие quite относится к наречиям степени и употребляется с существительными, прилагательными, глаголами и наречиями. С существительными quite стоит обычно перед артиклем: it was quite a good film это был вполне хороший фильм; you made quite an effort вы сделали значительное усилие; you are going quite the wrong way вы идете совсем не в том направлении. (2.) Наречие quite имеет два значения: с градуальными прилагательными, типа good, long, warm, quiet выражает степень качества и подразумевает меньшую степень, чем rather. В этом значении quite соответствует русским "довольно", "вполне": I'm quite ready (sleepy). He is not quite sure. С неградуальными прилагательными quite выражает полноту качества и соответствует русским "совсем", "полностью": quite exhausted совершенно истощен; quite impossible совершенно невозможно. В этом значении quite употребляется с глаголами, но лишь в утвердительных предложениях: I quite agree with you я с вами совершенно согласен; I quite understand you я вас вполне понимаю. В отрицательных предложениях употребляется at all: I don't know him at all я его совсем не знаю; I don't agree with you at all я с вами совершенно не согласен. (3.) See absolutely, adv (4.)
