Adjective atau Kata Sifat dalam Bahasa Inggris

Pernah belajar kata sifat? Adjective atau kata sifat dalam bahasa Inggris tidak berbeda dengan kata sifat yang mungkin pernah kita pelajari dalam pelajaran bahasa Indonesia. Adjective adalah kata sifat, adalah kata yang digunakan untuk memberikan sifat pada suatu benda atau suatu hal.

Ada 2 (dua) macam cara penggunaan kata sifat / adjective dalam bahasa Inggris yaitu attribute adjective dan predicate adjective.

Attribute Adjective (Kata Sifat Pelengkap)

Adalah kata sifat yang digunakan untuk menerangkan kata benda secara langsung.
Contohnya :

  • Big house = rumah besar

Predicate Adjective (Kata Sifat Predikat)

Adalah kata sifat yang digunakan untuk menerangkan kata benda (noun) secara tidak langsung.
Contohnya :

  • I am happy = aku bahagia
  • She is lazy = dia malas

Dalam pelajaran tata bahasa Inggris, adjective atau kata sifat ini dikategorikan menjadi bermacam-macam kelompok, yaitu:

  1. Descriptive Adjective (Kata Sifat Deskriptif)
  2. Numeral Adjective (Kata Sifat Bilangan)
  3. Quantitative Adjective (Kata Sifat Kuantitatif)
  4. Demonstrative Adjective (Kata Sifat Penunjuk)
