Pengertian AdjectiveAdjective adalah suatu kata yang digunakan untuk menerangkan noun atau pronoun

yang dapat berupa: person (orang), place (tempat), animal (binatang), maupun thing

(benda, konsep abstrak). Kata sifat ini merupakan satu dari delapan part of speech.

Kata sifat mungkin berbentuk sederhana (dark, hot, young), atau berbentuk frasa

— adjective phrase. Frasa ini merupakan kombinasi dari adjective (sebagai head)

dan modifier, determiner, dan/atau qualifier/intensifier (very

dark chocolate, young married couple). Selain itu, mungkin dua kata

sifat bergabung membentuk kata baru yang disebut compound adjective (part-

time jobs, oil-free lotion).

macam – macam adjective. Ada tiga macam adjective yaitu descriptive,

limiting, dan proper adjective.

Descriptive adjective menjelaskan kualitas atau keadaan dari noun atau

pronoun yang dijelaskan.

Contoh : handsome boy (‘handsome’ menjelaskan kualitas dari anak laki-laki

yang tampan), stunning person, etc.

Limiting adjective (membatasi). Ada beberapa macam yaitu :

Demonstrative adjective, menunjukkan atau mengkhususkan noun atau

pronoun yang dijelaskannya. Demontrative adjective antara lain : this, that,

these dan those. Contoh : this table (this menunjukkan secara khusus noun

‘table’ (meja yang mana ? meja yang ini)).

Indefinite adjective, menunjukkan secara lebih luas noun atau pronoun

yang dijelaskan. Contoh : some advices, any person, all women, most …

etc.

Numerical adjective, menunjukkan suatu bilangan ketika menjelaskan

noun atau pronoun. Bilangan ini bisa berupa cardinal number (bilangan

pokok) bisa juga ordinal number (bilangan urut). Contoh : the sixth

princess (Putri raja yang keberapa ? Putri raja yang keenam), six tables,

etc.

Interrogative adjective, mengajukan pertanyaan ketika menjelaskan noun

atau pronoun.

Contoh : What time is it ?, whose pen is on the table ? (‘time’ dan ‘pen’

merupakan noun)

Possessive adjective, menyatakan kepunyaan ketika menjelaskan noun atau

pronoun.

Contoh : my book (buku milik siapa ? buku milikku), its leather, etc.

Proper adjective, menjelaskan noun atau pronoun

dimana modifier (penjelasnya) berasal dari proper

name.

Contoh : Chinese cuisine, Indonesian culture, French

restaurant, etc.

(Masakan apa ? masakan Cina. 'Chinese, Indonesian,

French' merupakan proper name)

DANGLING AND

MISPLACED

MODIFIERS

DANGLING MODIFIERS

A dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not

clearly and logically related to the word or words it modifies (i.e. is placed next to).

Two notes about dangling modifiers:

•Unlike a misplaced modifier, a dangling modifier cannot

be corrected by simply moving it to a different place in a sentence.

•In most cases, the dangling modifier appears at the

beginning of the sentence, although it can also come at

the end.

Sometimes the dangling modifier error occurs because

the sentence fails to specify anything to which the modifier can refer.

Example 1

This sentence does not specify who is looking toward the west. In fact, there is nothing at all

in the sentence to which the modifying phrase

looking toward the west can logically refer. Since the modifier, looking toward the west, is

sitting next to the funnel shaped cloud, the

sentence suggests that the cloud is doing the

looking.

Example 2

This sentence means that my mother enrolled in medical when

she was nine years old!

At other times the dangling modifier is placed next to the wrong

noun or noun substitute.

Misplaced Modifiers

A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is

improperly separated from the word it modifies / describes.

Because of the separation, sentences with this error often sound

awkward, ridiculous, or confusing. Furthermore, they can be

downright illogical.

Example

The example above suggests that a gold man owns a watch.

Misplaced modifiers can usually be corrected by moving the

modifier to a more sensible place in the sentence, generally next

to the word it modifies. Example

Now it is the watch that is gold.
