Adjective Levels

Degrees of Comparison

Sama, Lebih, dan Paling

Degrees of Comparison digunakan saat kita ingin membandingkan kualitas kata sifat (Adjective) atau kata keterangan (Adverb) dari dua benda atau lebih.

"Tingkatannya ada 3: Biasa (Positive), Lebih (Comparative), dan Paling (Superlative)."

🥇 The 3-Step Podium

1. POSITIVE (Sama) as [adj] as

as tall as

2. COMPARATIVE (Lebih) [adj]+er than

taller than

3. SUPERLATIVE (Paling) the [adj]+est

the tallest

🔘 1 Suku Kata (Pendek)

Langsung tambahkan -er atau -est.
• Fast ➔ Faster ➔ Fastest
• Big ➔ Bigger ➔ Biggest

🔘 Akhiran huruf 'Y'

Hapus 'y', ubah menjadi -ier atau -iest.
• Happy ➔ Happier ➔ Happiest
• Lazy ➔ Lazier ➔ Laziest

🔘 2+ Suku Kata (Panjang)

Jangan ditambah akhiran! Gunakan More atau Most.
• Beautiful ➔ More beautiful ➔ Most beautiful

⚠️ THE IRREGULARS (Kata Sifat Pemberontak)

Kata-kata ini berubah total dan TIDAK mengikuti aturan -er/more di atas. Wajib dihafal!

Good ➔ Better ➔ Best

Bad ➔ Worse ➔ Worst

Far ➔ Further ➔ Furthest

Little ➔ Less ➔ Least

Bentuk	Struktur Wajib	Contoh Kalimat
Positive	Diapit as ... as	Budi is as smart as Andi. (Sama pintarnya)
Comparative	Diikuti kata than	Budi is smarter than Andi. (Lebih pintar dari)
Superlative	Didahului kata the	Budi is the smartest student. (Paling pintar)

Cheat Code Ujian: Jika ada kata "than", sudah pasti jawabannya Comparative (-er/more). Jika ada kata "the" sebelum titik-titik, sudah pasti Superlative (-est/most).
