Hi,

Can pretty, rather or fairly use in the way as quite . . .?

What are the differnece between these four words?

Let's say as a teacher, I say this about a student. What do I mean? Here's are some brief semantic comments, although a very, very great deal depends on the way these things are said, as well as the context. For the less positive meanings, the next word I'd often say is 'but . . .'.

Her English is pretty good. Positive. Casual and common spoken English.

Her English is rather good. Positive, sounds a bit formal.

Her English is fairly good. Sounds like I have some reservations about her  English.

Her English is quite good. Could be positive, negative or neutral, depending on how I say it. In writing, positive.

Best wishes, Clive
