Tertukarnya antara Adjektiva dan Adverbia Bahasa Inggris
Antara adjektiva dan adverbia sering
tertukar-tukar penggunaannya oleh pebelajar Bahasa Inggris. Perlu diketahui oleh
pebelajar Bahasa Inggris bahwa tipe yang paling umum dari masalah bentuk kata
melibatkan penggunaan adverbia sebagai pengganti adjektiva atau adjektiva
sebagai pengganti adverbia. Beberapa hal perlu untuk diingat:
Adjektiva menerangkan nomina, frasa nomina, gerund, dan pronomina.
Hang up your wet clothes. [adjektiva menerangkan
nomina clothes]
The two children were kind. [adjektiva menerangkan
frasa nomina the two children.]
We saw some wonderful acting
in the play. [adjektiva menerangkan gerund acting.]
They
were very brave. [adjektiva menerangkan pronomina they]
Catatan:
- Adjektiva umumnya berada antara determiner dan nomina [the old bucket].
- Banyak adjektiva tidak memiliki bentuk khusus, tetapi morfem derivasi tertentu digabung dengan adjektiva, seperti morfem derivasi –able (likeable), -ish (greenish), -ful (thoughtful), dan –y (lazy).
- Adjektiva tertentu memiliki morfem infleksi untuk bentuk komparatif dan superlatif, seperti happy, happier, happiest.
- Sebagai modifier nomina, adjektiva selalu mendahului nomina yang mereka terangkan:
an important test several people
a queit evening five golden rings
a long article that
dreadful old man
an awful noise the special, deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza
- Sebagai adjektiva predikat, adjektiva mengikuti be atau linking verb lainnya dan menerangkan subyek:
The glass was empty. [empty menerangkan subyek the
glass]
The play was terrific. [terrific
menerangkan subyek the play]
That song sounds nice.
The crust turned brown.
Please remain calm.
She said the film sounded interesting.
He
became angry at the very thought.
- Adjektiva sering menjawab pertanyaan What kind?
She is a brilliant scholar. [What kind of a scholar is
she? A brilliant one.]
Adverbia menerangkan banyak macam kata, termasuk verba, partisipel, adjektiva, dan adverbia yang lain.

menerangkan verba accepted.]

menerangkan present participle changing.]
She wore a brightly colored scarf. [adverbia
menerangkan past participle colored.]

[adverbia menerangkan adjektiva curious.]
The accident occurred incredibly quickly. [adverbia
menerangkan adverbia quickly.]
Catatan:
- Kadang-kadang adverbia digunakan di awal kalimat, biasanya diikuti oleh koma. Adverbia ini menerangkan keseluruhan kalimat daripada kata tunggal dalam kalimat tersebut.
Generally,
I like my classes.
Fortunately,
they arrived home before too much damage had been done.
