Wow……..!! What do we have here?
You probably have known them very well, but for those who have not, they are Anne Hathway, Jessica Alba, and Rose McGowan, consecutively. They’re all beautiful, aren’t they? Bahkan menurut situs articlepool.com, ketiga artis Hollywood ini merupakan artis yang paling hmmm… ! But, that’s not the point why their pictures are here.
Dengan menggunakan ketiga foto artis di atas, coba anda praktekkan apa yang sudah anda baca di topik Equal Comparisons dan Unequal Comparisons. Jika anda belum membaca topik tersebut, silakan review dulu tulisannya, baru kemudian balik ke halaman ini lagi. Remember, ini dimaksudkan hanya untuk latihan dan diskusi semata. Olehnya itu, anda tidak usah merasa sungkan atau takut bahwa tulisannya akan salah.
Sebagai pembuka, berikut adalah contoh kalimat yang bisa saya buat:
- I think Anne Hathway is as attractive as Jessica Alba.
Siapa yang sependapat dengan saya?

INCORRECT. Kalimatnya akan correct kalau bagian “than another” dihilangkan.
Jessica alba is the sexiest.
And, kalau mau lengkapnya:
Jessica alba is the sexiest of the three.

Some little suggestions to your writing.
Wow…I remember when I met a beautiful baby in West Sumatra. I said to her (that) how beautiful she was but my mother said (that) I should have said (that) how ugly the baby was..(opposite). I believe (that) what you meant was the same as my mother’s….
Hehehe…
Not at all. What I meant was not the same as what your mother said. I was teasing you. In fact, I can barely compare the three because they all have the same beauty, don’t they?

Some suggestions to your writing are colored:
‘‘The three girls are beautiful, but Anne Hathway is the most captivating. Look at her sharp eyes. They’re all very sexy. Unfortunately, they are only pictures. Just try one of them to be your wife! You’ll know how much time you’ll lose to keep her.”
You have good points, Soenarso. They make our discussion more interesting now. What’s your comment, Novialdi?

No problem Novialdi. How’s your weekend?
Your sentence would’ve been perfect if you had written:
If one of them were my wife, I would be the happiest person on this web (in this world).
An unreal conditional of the fact: one of them is not my wife, so I am not the happiest person in the world. The fact is in the simple present tense.
Great sentence. But, you should put Soenarso’s comment into consideration.

I think I’m gonna change my mind. This is because the more I look at Rose’s eyes, the better she looks. She looks more and more beautiful now. What’s wrong with me…?

I think Anne Hathway as mellow as Jessica Alba and Rose McGowan whlie Rose McGowan more aggressive
Swara Bhaskara
May 1, 2010
Yes, you can group 2 or more objects/persons as one. In your sentence, Jessica Alba is as mellow as Rose McGowan, and you then compare these two persons, as one group, to Anne Hathaway.
In your sentence, however, the most important element is missing, namely, a to be. It should be:
I think Anne Hathaway IS as mellow as Jessica Alba and Rose McGowan.
Or:
I think Jessica Alba and Rose McGowan ARE as mellow as Anne Hathaway.
What about this part?
Rose McGowan more aggressive.???
1. Missing a to be.
2. More aggressive than who?
This part should be either of the following:
Rose McGowan IS more aggressive than Jessica Alba.
Rose McGowan IS more aggressive than Anne Hathaway.
Rose McGowan IS more aggressive than Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway. (In this case, Jessica Alba is as aggressive as Anne Hathaway, but the two are less aggressive than Rose McGowan).
Rose McGowan IS the most aggressive of the three.
NOTE: Use superlative when comparing three objects/persons or more.

Jafar sebenarnya sudah paham dalam membuat kalimat perbandingan, cuman masih kelupaan memakai to be. Di kalimat yang Jafar buat, to be yang tepat adalah IS.
Di latihan ini, topik yang dibandingkan berjumlah 3 orang. Dalam bentuk comparative, lawan bicara akan bingung atau bertanya-tanya kalau kita cuman bilang:
Rose McGowan is more aggressive.
Rose lebih agresif dengan siapa ya? Lebih agresif dengan Jessica Alba ataukah lebih agresif dengan Anne Hathaway?
Nah, agar tidak timbul pertanyaan seperti itu, sebaiknya ditambahkan “…than …”, misalnya menjadi:
Rose McGowan is more aggressive than Jessica Alba.
atau
Rose McGowan is more aggressive than Anne Hathaway.
Tetapi jika topik yang dibandingkan hanya berjumlah dua, misalnya Luna Maya dan Agnes Monica, dan lawan bicara sudah tahu topik yang dibandingkan tersebut, maka ekspresi “…than…” dapat dihilangkan.
Misalnya:
Luna Maya is taller.
Agnes Monica sings better.
Jika topik/hal yang dibandingkan berjumlah 3 atau lebih, kita lebih baik gunakan superlative, khususnya jika kita menyatakan bahwa yang satu terbaik, atau terjelek, dan ter + adjective/adverb lainnya dibandingkan dengan yang lainnya.

Hi Deni,
1. Don’t use THAN when using superlative.
Anne Hathway is the sexiest (of the three).
(Anne Hathway paling sexy (dari ketiga artis tersebut).
2. Use THAN in comparative.
Anne Hathway is sexier than the others.
(Anne Hathway lebih sexy daripada kedua artis tersebut)
Kedua forms of comparisons ini telah dibahas di : Unequal Comparisons
Now, I ‘d like to ask you a question,
If Anne Hathway were your wife, what would you do to her?

sir…i a little bit confused when i was reading the sentence above…the thing i wanna ask is ” the sentence with the capital letter ” is it right??? cant we just say “I should said” ???
give me explanation please…..
n the most important thing…please correct my writing ^^…
thnk u so much sir bhas..

Hi, star92,
First of all, in English, there’s no a pattern of:
S + Modal + VERB2/VERB3
INCORRECT if we say:
I should said that to her.
She must went there.
She must gone there.
Andi could helped me.
Anita will bought a car.
Anita would bought a car.
REMEMBER: The verb after the modal is always in its simple form (verb1). So, the above incorrect sentences should be:
I should say that to her.
She must go there.
Andi could help me.
Anita will buy a car.
And that’s why, in perfect tense patterns, we always use the verb phrase HAVE + VERB3 after the modal. Remember that HAS + VERB3 doesn’t exist after the modal.
S + MODAL HAVE VERB3 +… (correct)
S + MODAL HAS VERB3 +… (incorrect)
I should have said that to her.
She must have gone there.
Andi could have helped me.
Anita will have bought a car.
She must has gone there. (incorrect)
Andi could has helped me. (incorrect)
Anita will has bought a car. (incorrect)
Second of all, what does the expression “should have said” mean?
In the sentence above, “Novialdi Chaidir SAID something”, which is in the simple past tense. Novialdi DID say that thing, so, if you’d like to make a suggestion contrary to what he did, it’s best if you use patterns of Conditional sentences (part 2). Another discussion of this matter has been done SHOULD VERB1 vs SHOULD HAVE VERB3.

Excellent !
Cuman ada salah ketik satu.
… the most charming girls.
Omitting the -s would make it a perfect sentence.

They’re all very beautiful girls, But if I should make some comparisons, I will say Anne Hathway is more beautiful than Rose McGowan, But Jessica Alba is more beautiful than Anne Hathway.
In my conclusion as a man, Jessica Alba is the most beautiful girl from the three of them.
