Learn English – sometimes quite significantly

grammaticality

Anything happens during election can affect the result of election,
sometimes quite significantly.

I am concerned about the usage of

sometimes quite significantly

What I want to say express is sometimes it is affected, but not much, but sometimes it can be quite significantly.

Is the sentence above grammatical?

Best Answer

It is not technically incorrect, but it can be refined. I would omit "quite". It is colloquial and overly familiar. "Quite" is conversational English and is OK if you're writing a personal letter, but should be omitted in formal composition.
