  • Adjective & Adverb

 Adjective (kata sifat) memberikan informasi tentang kata benda. Contoh:
  • She’s an excellent dancer.
  • I’ve got a new apartment.
Adverb (kata keterangan) merubah kata kerja, yakni kata keterangan menjelaskan bagaimana sesuatu dilakukan. Contoh:
- She learns quickly.
- You can speak English well.
Adjective (kata sifat)
Adjective bisa ditempatkan sebelum kata benda. Contoh:
  • This is a beautiful bird.
  • “This is a bird beautiful.” tidak benar.
Kata sifat memberikan informasi seperti ukuran (kecil, besar), bentuk (bulat, persegi), warna (kuning, hijau), kebangsaan (Cina, Polandia), dan opini (baik, buruk).
Adjective tidak mengalami perubahan yang tergantung pada jumlah (tunggal atau jamak). Contoh:
  • She has a cute puppy.
  • She has three cute puppies.
Perhatikan bahwa adjective (cute) tidak mengalami perubahan baik dalam bentuk tunggal (puppy) maupun jamak (puppies).
Adjective juga bisa ditempatkan setelah kata kerja tertentu seperti be, feel, look, dan taste. Contoh:
  • I’m really happy today.
  • She’s got a new job so she feels great.
  • You look wonderful!
  • This chicken tastes delicious.
Adverb (kata keterangan)
Adverb sering dibentuk dengan menambahkan -ly di belakang adjective. Contoh:
  • quick (adjective) - He’s quick at learning new things.
  • quickly (adverb) - He learns quickly.
  • bad (adjective) - He didn’t get a bad test score.
  • badly (adverb) - He didn’t do badly in his test.
Untuk adverb yang terbentuk dari adjective yang berakhiran dengan huruf “-y” ganti “-y” dengan “-i” dan tambahkan “-ly“. Contoh:
  • easy (adjective) - He thinks math is easy.
  • easily (adverb) - He can do math easily.
  • happy (adjective) - He’s a happy man.
  • happily (adverb) - He works happily every day.
Untuk adverb yang terbentuk dari adjective yang berakhiran dengan huruf “-le” ganti “-le” dengan “-ly“. Contoh:
  • simple (adjective) - The teacher makes difficult things simple.
  • simply (adverb) - He teaches simply and clearly.
Beberapa adverb sama dengan adjective. Contoh:
  • He runs fast (adverb) - He’s a fast runner. (adjective)
  • He studies hard. (adverb) - It’s a hard life. (adjective)
Adverb untuk “good” adalah “well“. Contoh:
  • She’s a good pianist.
  • She plays the piano well.
Adverb juga bisa mengubah adjective dan adverb-adverb lainnya. Contoh:
  • That’s a good book.
  • That’s a very good book.
  • She’s a talented girl.
  • She’s an incredibly talented girl.
  • You’re right!
  • You’re absolutely right!
