Comparing Options
Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:
- Membentuk comparative: -er (cheaper) dan more + adjective (more reliable).
- Membandingkan dua pilihan dengan 'A is ... than B'.
- Bertanya 'Which one is better?' untuk meminta rekomendasi.
Penjelasan (ID)
Untuk membantu pelanggan memilih, kita membandingkan dua pilihan menggunakan comparative (bentuk perbandingan).
Aturan membentuk comparative:
| Jenis adjective | Aturan | Contoh |
|---|---|---|
| Pendek (1 suku kata) | + -er | cheap → cheaper, fast → faster |
| Berakhiran -y | -y → -ier | easy → easier, heavy → heavier |
| Panjang (2+ suku kata) | more + adj | reliable → more reliable |
| Tidak beraturan | bentuk khusus | good → better, bad → worse |
Pola perbandingan: A is + comparative + than + B:
Option A is cheaper than Option B. This laptop is more reliable than that one.
Bertanya untuk meminta rekomendasi:
- Which one is better? (Mana yang lebih baik?)
- Which option is cheaper? (Pilihan mana yang lebih murah?)
Tip: Jangan gabungkan -er dan more sekaligus: more cheaper (✗). Cukup cheaper (✓).
Examples (English)
"Option A is cheaper than Option B, but B is faster." "This brand is more reliable than the others." "Which one is better for a small team?" "The premium plan is more expensive, but it offers better support."
