Degree adverbs: 多、多么、好、更、十分、特别、挺、有（一）点儿
Explanation
These are degree adverbs (words that modify a verb or adjective, here indicating how high or low the degree is), placed BEFORE an adjective or verb to raise or lower the degree: 多 (duō), 多么 (duōme), 好 (hǎo), 更 (gèng), 十分 (shífēn), 特别 (tèbié), 挺 (tǐng), 有（一）点儿 (yǒu (yì)diǎnr).
degree adverb + adjective / verb. With the exclamatory words 多/多么/好, 啊 (a) is usually added at the end of the sentence: 多可爱啊 (so cute!). 挺 usually goes with 的 at the end: 挺安静的 (quite quiet).
多/多么/好 are used in exclamatory sentences of praise; 更 (gèng, more, -er) is used when comparing this being more than that; 十分/特别 indicate a very high degree; 挺 indicates a fairly high degree (milder than 很); 有（一）点儿 indicates a SMALL degree and usually carries a note of dissatisfaction (a bit hot, a bit expensive).
Vietnamese learners often use 有（一）点儿 for positive things (wrong). 有（一）点儿 always comes before an adjective and usually expresses a complaint (有点儿贵 - a bit expensive); do not say 有点儿好. Also, 更 must go with a comparative meaning; don't use it when there is no object of comparison.
