Sıfat Türleri
Sıfatlar, isimleri niteleyerek onlara daha fazla anlam kazandırır. YDS/YÖKDİL/YDT'de sıfat türlerini ayırt etmek, özellikle cümle tamamlama ve paragraf tamamlama sorularında kritiktir.
Temel Sıfat Türleri
| Tür | İşlev | Örnekler |
|---|---|---|
| Qualitative | Nitelik, özellik belirtir | beautiful, tall, expensive, boring |
| Quantitative | Miktar belirtir | some, many, much, few, several |
| Demonstrative | İşaret eder | this, that, these, those |
| Possessive | Sahiplik belirtir | my, your, his, her, its, our, their |
| Interrogative | Soru sorar | which, what, whose |
| Distributive | Dağıtım, ayrım belirtir | each, every, either, neither, both, all, half |
| Numeral | Sayı belirtir | one, first, second, triple |
Distributive Adjectives — YDS'de Sık Düşer

neitherHiçbiri → Neither answer is correct. (tekil fiil)
bothHer ikisi de → Both options are fine. (çoğul fiil)

Sıfat Sıralaması
İngilizcede birden fazla sıfat kullanılırken belirli bir sıra vardır. YDS cümle tamamlama sorularında bu sıra doğrudan test edilir. Bellekte tutmak için OSASCOMP kısaltmasını kullanın.
Seviyelere Göre Örnekler
A2a big (size) red (colour) car
B1a beautiful (opinion) large (size) wooden (material) table
B2an expensive (opinion) 19th-century (age) mahogany (material) writing (purpose) desk
C1a strikingly beautiful (opinion) slightly worn (condition/opinion) early Victorian (age+origin) oak (material) dining (purpose) table
- Material ve Purpose: Her zaman isme en yakın olanlardır. Material purpose'tan önce gelir.
- Origin: Ülke/şehir isimleri (Italian, Victorian) material'dan önce gelir.
- Condition sıfatları: worn, dirty, clean gibi sıfatlar opinion ile size arasında yer alır.
- ✘ a wooden beautiful table → ✔ a beautiful wooden table

-ed vs. -ing Sıfatlar
-ing (Present Participle)Şeyin özelliği, etken anlam → The film is boring. (sıkıcı)
Participle adjectives (sıfat-fiiller) YDS'de en çok sorulan konulardan biridir. Özellikle advanced, required, fallen, escaped, retired gibi sıfatlaşmış past participle'lar C1 seviyesinde kritiktir.
| -ed (kişi hissi / edilgen) | -ing (şeyin özelliği / etken) |
|---|---|
| I am bored. | The lecture is boring. |
| She was excited. | The news was exciting. |
| He looked confused. | The instructions were confusing. |

- Present Participle (-ing): Aktif, devam eden, neden olan anlam. "a sleeping child" = uyuyan çocuk (kendi uyuyor).
- Past Participle (-ed): Pasif, tamamlanmış, maruz kalan anlam. "a broken window" = kırık pencere (biri kırdı).
- C1: "The published report" (yayınlanmış) vs "The publishing house" (yayınevi — publishing burada isim görevinde).

Birleşik Sıfatlar
Birleşik sıfatlar (compound adjectives), tire (-) ile bağlanan iki veya daha fazla kelimeden oluşur. YDS ve YÖKDİL'de cümle tamamlama ve dil bilgisi sorularında sıklıkla test edilir.
Yaygın Birleşik Sıfat Türleri
| Yapı | Örnek | Açıklama |
|---|---|---|
| Adverb + Past Participle | well-known, widely-accepted, newly-built, highly-educated | Zarf + sıfat-fiil |
| Number + Noun | a 5-year-old boy, a 10-page report, a 3-hour meeting | İsim tekil kalır, tire kullanılır |
| Noun + Adjective | world-famous, duty-free, brand-new, ice-cold | İsim + sıfat |
| Adjective + Noun-ed | old-fashioned, warm-hearted, short-sighted, kind-hearted | Sıfat + isim-ed |

Zarf Pozisyonu & Sıralama
Zarfların cümle içindeki pozisyonu anlamı değiştirebilir. YDS'de özellikle frequency adverbs (always, never, rarely) ve mid-position kuralları sınav sorusu olur.
Temel Pozisyonlar
Ortada (Mid)She always arrives on time. (Frequency) / He quickly ran away. (Manner — kısa)
Sonda (End)She spoke confidently. (Manner) / We met in Istanbul. (Place) / I will call you tomorrow. (Time)
Mid-Position Kuralları (YDS Tuzak!)
| Yapı | Örnek | Kural |
|---|---|---|
| be + frequency | She is always late. | be fiilinden sonra |
| auxiliary + frequency | I have never seen him. | Yardımcı fiilden sonra |
| modal + frequency | You should always check. | Modal'dan sonra |
| normal verb + frequency | She rarely eats meat. | Fiilden önce |
| only + focus | I only eat vegetables. | Only, vurgulanan kelimeden önce |
MPT Kuralı (Manner-Place-Time)
Birden fazla zarf son pozisyonda kullanılırsa sıralama genellikle: Manner → Place → Time
She sang beautifully (M) at the concert (P) last night (T).
They worked efficiently (M) in the office (P) all day (T).

Link Fiiller & Duyu Fiilleri
Link fiiller (bağ fiiller) ve duyu fiilleri (sense verbs) cümlede nesne almadan, özne hakkında bilgi verirler. Bu fiillerden sonra sıfat gelir, zarf değil! Bu, YDS'nin en klasik tuzaklarından biridir.
Link Fiiller Listesi
| Link Fiil + Sıfat | Eylem Fiil + Zarf |
|---|---|
| The soup tastes good. | She tasted the soup suspiciously. |
| He looks tired. | He looked at her tiredly. |
| The flower smells sweet. | She smelled the flower eagerly. |
| The music sounds beautiful. | She played the music beautifully. |
| I feel sick. | She felt the fabric carefully. |
- feel bad = kötü hissetmek (üzüntü/rahatsızlık) → I feel bad about what happened.
- feel badly = dokunma duyusu zayıf (neredeyse hiç kullanılmaz) → ✘ I feel badly about it.
- Benzer şekilde: "smell bad" = kötü kokmak, "smell badly" = kötü koklamak (burnu tıkalı olmak).

- Superlative + the eksikliği: "He is best player" → the best player.
- enough sırası: "enough old" → old enough.
- hard/hardly karışıklığı: "He worked hardly" → He worked hard.
- very + comparative: "very better" → much better.
2. Sentence Completion (Cümle Tamamlama) İpuçları
| İpucu | Örnek Başlangıç | Beklenen Yapı |
|---|---|---|
| The + comparative... | The more you practice... | the + comparative (The more...the better) |
| So + adj/adv + that | So rapidly... | that + clause (sonuç) |
| Such + a/an + adj + N | Such an interesting... | that + clause / noun completion |
