Class 5: Comparison
This module is the continuation of comparisons in Structure 1 Class.
In this module, we will be discussing about:
1. Unclear Comparison: comparison that can be ambiguous or
illogical
2. Repeating Comparative : repetitive comparative and how
competitive can be use as superlative between 2 things
3. Double Comparative : comparative to express continuous changes
4. More used as Non-comparative : other utilization of comparative
5. Less and Fewer
Learning Activity 1
Unclear Comparison
Unclear comparison
Perbandingan dimana terdapat ketidak-jelasanan mengenai bagian
yang dibandingkan.
John likes Rina better than Mary
Kalimat ini dapat memiliki dua arti yang berbeda:
1. John likes Rina better than Mary likes Rina, or
2. John likes Rina better than John likes Mary
Pengartian diatas dibedakan berdasarkan hal yang dibandingkan.
Dalam kalimat pertama yang dibandingkan adalah subjeknya (John),
sementara dalam kalimat ke-dua yang dibandingkan adalah objeknya
(Rina).
ILLOGICAL COMPARISON
Illogical comparison adalah perbandingan yang tidak masuk akal,
sehingga perlu diperbaiki.
Contoh:
1. Rina has a car smaller than her brother
2. Marys grades are better than last year
Seharusnya:
1. Rina has a car smaller than her brothers car
2. Marys grades are better now than they were last year

1. The sooner you start, the more quickly you will finish
2. The more dangerous it is, the more I like it
Learning points:
More + adjective/adverb/noun tidak bisa dipisahkan
More harus didahului oleh the
The + comparative form
Dapat digunakan sebagai perbandingan superlative antara 2 benda.
Caranya? Dengan menambahkan proposition phrase, seperti : of
the two, between them or between the two pada the +
comparative form.
Contoh:
1. I think the painting is the more beautiful of the two.
2. Between them, Rina is the smarter
Learning point:
More harus didahului oleh the
Superlative form (ex: most beautiful, smartest) digunakan untuk
membandingkan 3 benda atau lebih.
Learning Activity 3
Double Comparative
Double comparative
Digunakan untuk mengekspresikan perubahan terus menerus
For example:
He is getting fatter and fatter.
She is being more and more impatient.
Learning point:
1. Untuk kata dengan suku kata lebih dari 2, hanya kata more yang
diulang.
2. Untuk kata dengan suku kata kurang dari atau sama dengan 2,
pengulangan kata tersebut dengan akhiran -er.
3. Tidak boleh menggabungkan kata more dengan akhiran er dan kata
most dengan akhiran -est
Ex: He is more fatter salah! He is most fattest salah!
