«Мне надоело использовать одни и те же слова! Хочу больше лексики!» заявляют студенты на определенном этапе своего изучения английского.

Потребность в новой, более разнообразной лексике возникает обычно на уровне Intermediate и выше.
В начале обучения, на уровне Elementary, основная цель студента — просто заговорить, для старта — на самом простом уровне, самыми простыми, часто однообразными, средствами. Позже, к концу уровня Pre-Intermediate, когда база усвоена, важным становится умение выразить более сложные мысли, донести свое мнение, обсудить абстрактные вопросы.
А с дальнейшим развитием грамматических и коммуникационных навыков возникает потребность в более изысканных средствах выражения.

Вот почему многие, кто перешел рубеж Intermediate и Upper-intermediate страдают от нехватки лексики. И в школе ENGINFORM мы решаем этот вопрос на Разговорном курсе и помогаем качественно и количественно расширить словарный запас.

Другая группа «нуждающихся» в синонимах и заменителях — те, кто готовится к экзаменам. Невозможно получить высокий балл за Argumentative Essay, если в нем пять раз используются слова small или beautiful, interesting или important.

Гарантирую, что без последнего не обходится ни один устный или письменный ответ на любом экзамене! Да и в повседневном общении мы постоянно говорим о чем-то «важном», «основном», «главном», «значимом».

В этом материале я собрала 24 эквивалента слова important. Каждый из которых имеет свой контекст употребления, но все эти слова используются в английском, и я очень надеюсь, что в ваш лексикон они тоже войдут.

Все эти прилагательные можно было бы заменить словом important, но лучше оставить его для начинающих, а себе на вооружение взять более продвинутые эквиваленты.

Хочу обратить ваше внимание, что прилагательное important — это а gradable adjective, то есть имеет степени сравнения. Мы можем сказать:

more important — более важный
the most important — наиболее важный
less important — менее важный

К тому же, important может употребляться с наречиями, которые обозначают степень выраженности признака: very, too:

Very important — очень важный
Too important — слишком важный

А большинство прилагательных из списка — это non-gradable adjectives. У них не может быть степеней сравнения, потому как их значение (хоть и очень похоже на important), не предполагает большей или меньшей выраженности. Например, нельзя сказать: «более основной» или «менее главный».
