What form of speech are the words quiet and quite?

The words "quiet" and "quite" are both adjectives, but they have different meanings:

* Quiet refers to a lack of noise or activity.

* Quite means "to a considerable degree" or "very".

Here are some examples:

* Quiet: "The library was very quiet."

* Quite: "The movie was quite good."

It's important to note that "quite" can be a quantifier as well, in which case it functions as an adverb. For example, "I have quite a lot of work to do today."
