Here are some examples of how it's used as an adjective:
* "She has a moderate opinion on the issue." (Describing the strength of an opinion)
* "He has a moderate income." (Describing the amount of income)
* "The exercise was at a moderate intensity." (Describing the intensity of the exercise)
However, moderate can also be a verb and a noun, so it's important to look at the context of the sentence to determine its part of speech.
Verb: "The government will moderate its spending." (Meaning to make something less extreme)
Noun: "Moderation is key to a healthy lifestyle." (Meaning the avoidance of extremes)
