Comparative (tingkat lebih) menunjukkan kurang atau lebih sebuah atribut tertentu – yakni membandingkan dua hal atau lebih. Comparative umumnya digunakan untuk membandingkan dua hal, dan superlative (tingkat paling) digunakan untuk membandingkan tiga hal atau lebih.
Jika sudah jelas kita hanya akan membuat perbandingan dengan sesuatu yang lain, maka kita cukup menggunakan bentuk comparative. Contoh: - I am faster.
- She is older.
- I am faster than John.
- She is taller than me.
1. Comparatives (tingkat lebih)
Kata sifat dengan 1 suku kata
Untuk membuat bentuk komparatif dari sebuah kata sifat yang memiliki satu suku kata, kita menambahkan -er di belakang kata, contoh:
- slow – slower
- fast – faster
- tall – taller
- short – shorter
- nice – nicer
- large – larger
- - big – bigger
- hot – hotter
- thin – thinner
Jika kata sifat memiliki dua atau lebih suku kata, kita menambahkan more sebelum kata sifat. Contoh:
- This book is more expensive than that book.
- This picture is more beautiful.
Beberapa kata dengan 2 suku-kata memiliki sifat yang mirip dengan kata yang memiliki 1 suku-kata. Contoh:
- This is easier – Benar
- This is
more easy– Tidak benar - This is simpler – Benar
- This is
more simple– Tidak benar
- clever – cleverer – more clever: These are all correct.
- quiet – quieter – more quiet: These are all correct.
Pengecualian-pengecualian yang ada bisa dipelajari melalui kaidah-kaidah, cara terbaik untuk mempelajarinya adalah dengan mempelajarinya satu demi satu.
2. Superlative (tingkat paling)
Kata sifat dengan 1 suku-kata
Untuk membuat superlative dari sebuah kata sifat yang memiliki 1 suku kata, kita menambahkan -est, Contoh:
- slow – slowest
- fast – fastest
- tall – tallestr
- short – shortest
- big – biggest
- hot – hottest
- thin – thinnest
Jika kata sifat memiliki 2 suku-kata atau lebih, kita menambahkan most didepan kata sifat. Contoh:
- This book is the most expensive book.
- This picture is the most beautiful picture in the museum.
Ada beberapa bentuk tidak beraturan. Berikut beberapa kata sifat beserta bentuk komparatif dan superlatif yang tidak beraturan.
- good – better – best
- bad – worse – worst
- far – farther – farthest
- far – further – furthest
- little – less – least
- much/many – more – most
- You are the best student in the world!
- I am far from home, he is further from home, but he is the furthest from home.
Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan
1) How’s the weather in your country?
The summer is much hotter than here, and the winter is also much colder. The best time is spring, it’s beautiful!
2) Which restaurant do you like?
Bella Rosa is good, they’ve got good food but it’s expensive. McDonalds is cheaper, but it’s really unhealthy. I think the Vietnamese restaurant is the best, it’s the cheapest, the healthiest, and the most delicious!
3) How’s your English going?
Oh, it’s much better these days. It’s easier than before, and I know more words and I can speak more confidently. It’s great.
I’m really glad to hear it. Keep up the great work!
Kosa kata baru:
Weather = cuaca country = negara summer = musim panas hotter = lebih panas colder = lebih dingin best = terbaik expensive = mahal cheaper = lebih murah unhealthy = tidak sehat Vietnamese = orang Vietnam | Cheapest = paling murah healthiest = paling sehat most delicious = paling lezat better = lebih baik these days = belakangan ini easier = lebih mudah before = sebelum know = tahu words = katakata more confidently = lebih percaya diri |
