Adjective

Adjective (Adj) adalah nama lain dari kata sifat dalam bahasa Inggris. Fungsinya untuk memberikan
penjelasan lebih lanjut tentang sebuah benda (Noun). Dengan melihat contoh kalimat Adjective,
maka akan semakin paham fungsi kata sifat . Jadi, adjective memberikan informasi tentang sebuah
benda dilihat dari warna, ukuran (tinggi, rendah, panjang, pendek), bentuk, usia, asal, bahan,
kuantitas dan kualitas.

 Order of Adjectives
Sometimes we use more than one adjective in front of a noun:

-He was a nice intelligent young man.

-She had a small round black wooden box.

1.      Opinion adjectives:

Some adjectives give a specific opinion. We only use these adjectives to describe particular kinds of
noun:

Food                           :  tasty; delicious

Furniture, buildings  :  comfortable; uncomfortable
People, animals          :  clever; intelligent; friendly

We usually put a general opinion in front of a specific opinion:

 Nice tasty

2. Descriptive adjectives

Usually we put an adjective that gives an opinion in front of an adjective that is descriptive:
a nice red dress; a silly old man; those horrible yellow curtains
 We often have two adjectives in front of a noun:
a handsome young man; a big black car; that horrible big dog
Sometimes we have three adjectives, but this is unusual:

 a nice handsome young man;

It is very unusual to have more than three adjectives.

Some of the commonest -ed adjectives are normally used only after a link verb:

annoyed;   finished;   bored; pleased; thrilled
We say:
Our teacher was ill.
but we do not say:
We had an ill teacher.

We say:
He lives in the eastern district.

  Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

1. Comparative Adjectives

We use comparative adjectives to describe people and things:

This car is certainly better but it’s much more expensive.

I’m feeling happier now.
We need a bigger garden

 We use than  when we want to compare one thing with another:

She is two years older than me.

 When we want to describe how something or someone changes we can use two

comparatives with and:

The balloon got bigger and bigger.

 We often use the with comparative adjectives to show that one thing depends on another:

When you drive faster it is more dangerous

> The faster you drive, the more dangerous it is.

2.      Superlative Adjectives

We use the  with a superlative:

It was the happiest day of my life.

Everest is the highest mountain in the world.
That’s the best film I have seen this year.
I have three sisters, Jan is the oldest and Angela is the youngest .
