PENJELASAN ADVERB (Kata Kerja Bantu) BESERTA CONTOH KALIMAT TERLENGKAP
Definition
Adverb merupakan bentuk kata keterangan dalam bahasa inggris, adverbs juga merupakan bentuk kata yang dapat memodifikasi :
- a Verb ( Kata Kerja ) (She ran slowly. — How did she run?)
- an Adjective (She ran very quick — How did she run?)
- another Adverb (He moved quite slowly down the village. — How slowly did he move?)
Sebagaimana yang akan kita lihat, adverbs sering menjelaskan when, where, why, or under tergantung situasi yang terjadi. Adverbs kebanyakan di akhiri dengan -ly; bagaimanapun, banyak kata dan phrase yang juga tidak diakhiri dengan –ly memilik fungsi sebagai Adverb dan akhiran -ly tidak menjamin bahwa kata itu adalah adverb. Ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb. Kata lovely, lonely, friendly,silly dan sebagainya adalah adjective :
- She is friendly girl (dia adalah gadis yang ramah).
Jika sekelompok kata mengandung subject dan verb bertindak sebagai adverb (memodifikasi verb dalam sebuah kalimat) itu dinamakan Adverb Clause.
- When this meeting is over, we are going to the zoo.
Tetapi ada jenis lain yang termasuk Adverbial Phrase:
- She calls his father as often as posible.
Adverbs dapat memodifikasi Adjectives, tetapi adjective tidak bisa memodifikasi Adverb. Demikan juga dengan kita akan mengatakan seperti ini “the students showed a really amazing performance” or “the students showed a wonderfully ordinary performance” dan juga “my professor is really smart, tetapi tidak bisa jika “She ran real fast.”
Seperti adjectives, adverb dapat mempunyai bentuk comparative dan superlative untuk menunjukkan.
- Move faster if you want to keep up with me.
- The student who does the test fastest will finish first.
Kita sering menggunakan more dan most, less dan least untuk menunjukan tingkatan dengan adverbs:
- With this shoes on, Amy could move more quickly among the others.
- The flower was the most beautifully arranged creations I have ever seen.
- Jimmy workedless confidently after his injury.
- That is the least skillfully done performance I have seen in recent month.
- She can run as fast as her brother.
