 COMPERATIVE ADJECTIVE

Comparative adjective is an adjective that is

used to compare two objects by adding the
suffix '-er' after the adjective. Example :
 The comparative form of the adjective long is
longer. We can say : A is longer than B.
 The comparative form of the adjective tall is
taller.We can say : A is taller than B
What is the conclusion? by adding '-er', it's like
adding the word 'more' in Indonesian.
So, apart from the suffix '-er', you can also use the
word ' more ' which also means more. Usually
'more' is used with adjectives that have two or
more syllables. For example, more handsome or
more expensive.
 COMPERATIVE ADJECTIVE

However, of course as always, there are exceptions in

English. For example, for the words busy, simple, and
tidy. They turned out like this :
 Busy → Busier
 Simple → Simpler
 Tidy → Tidier
Let's see, what patterns can we get from there?
First, these words consist of two syllables but still use
the suffix '-er'.
Second, if the word ends with the letter 'y', then
replace it with the letter 'i' and then add the suffix '-
er'.
Third, if the word ends with the letter 'e', ​just add 'r'.
 SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVE
Superlative adjective is also used to compare more than two objects (three or
more) by adding the suffix ' -est ' or the word ' most '. Well, in Indonesian, this is like
adding the word most. Example :
 The superlative form of the adjective long is the longest.
We can say: A is 7cm. B is 10 cm. B is long but C is the longest.
 The superlative form of the adjective high is supreme.
We can say: B is the tallest bar in the box.
Similar to the pattern in the comparative section, for words with two or more syllables we
usually use the word 'most '. Please note, there are several two-syllable words that still
use ' -est '. They turned out like this :
Busy → Busiest
Simple → Simplest
Tidy → Tidiest
 COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE IN IRREGULAR
ADJECTIVES

Apart from the -er/-est and more/most forms, there is one more
form you need to know. These forms are irregular adjectives. In
this form, adjectives will change according to the type of
sentence.
The following is a list of irregular adjectives quoted from Grammarly
:
 Good/well -> better -> best
 Far -> farther further -> the farthest the furthest
 Bad/badly -> worse -> worst
 Little -> less -> least
Usage for words with more than one syllable :
 Yogyakarta is the best city to study, I guess. (Yogyakarta adalah
kota terbaik untuk belajar, menurutku).
 I got the worst score among the students in my class. (Saya
mendapat nilai paling jelek di antara murid-murid).
 ADJECTIVES ENDING IN -ED

something.

 ARTICLES
In English, articles must also be used in communication and articles in English are called articles. A, an, the (articles) are
words used to limit the meaning of nouns. These three words actually don't have specific meanings. However, articles have
a special function in completing a phrase or clause, which is specifically related to the noun or noun in it.

Types Article :

What are the functions of the indefinite article?
• A or an is used in indefinite articles.
• This article is used for things that are not specific or have never been explained before, including: person, thing, or idea.
• This word is only used before singular countable nouns (kata benda yang dihitung tunggal).
