ADJECTIVE VS. ADVERB

ADJECTIVE VS. ADVERB

Let’s listen to the example below:

ADJECTIVE

ADJECTIVE (kata sifat) adalah kata yang digunakan untuk memberikan detail tentang sebuah NOUN. ADJECTIVES dapat digunakan untuk menggambarkan ciri-ciri kualitatif atau kuantitatif dari suatu NOUN. Contohnya:

  • She has a beautiful garden. (Dia memiliki taman yang indah.)
  • The tall building is located in the city center. (Gedung tinggi tersebut terletak di pusat kota.)
  • His bag is green. (Tasnya berwarna hijau)

Perhatikan bahwa di bahasa Indonesia, kita menyebutkan NOUN terlebih dahulu sebelum ADJECTIVE (tas hijau). Di bahasa Inggris, kita menyebutkan ADJECTIVE-nya terlebih dahulu sebelum NOUN-nya (a green bag).

ADVERB

ADVERB (kata keterangan) adalah kata yang memberikan detail tentang cara, waktu, tempat, atau tingkat intensitas suatu VERB. ADVERB memberikan keterangan tambahan yang membantu menjelaskan bagaimana, kapan, di mana, atau seberapa sering suatu VERB terjadi. Contohnnya:

  • She sings beautifully. (Dia menyanyi dengan indah.) – BAGAIMANA (kata keterangan cara).
  • They will arrive soon. (Mereka akan tiba segera.) – KAPAN (kata keterangan waktu).
  • The cat is sitting there. (Kucing itu duduk di sana.) – DI MANA (kata keterangan tempat).

Pada beberapa kata, ADVERB adalah ADJECTIVE yang ditambahkan akhiran -ly, seperti beautifully, carefully, slowly, neatly, etc. Berikut adalah contoh-contoh dari ADVERB:
