Quantifier – Some / Any

Quantifier adalah kata-kata yang menunjukkan seberapa banyak jumlah sesuatu – yakni quantifier menunjukkan kuantitas. Bilangan misalnya juga merupakan quantifier.

Some

Some digunakan untuk menunjukkan jumlah yang tidak pasti, jumlah pasti dianggap tidak penting. Some digunakan pada pernyataan-pernyataan afirmatif, misalnya:
- I have some books.
- She wants some apples.

Some juga digunakan dalam pertanyaan, tetapi hanya apabila kita memperkirakan jawaban pertanyaan tersebut adalah “Ya”. Contoh:
- Do you have some paper? (penanya berharap jawabannya adalah “Ya”)
- Would you like some french fries? (penanya berharapan jawabannya adalah “Ya”).

Any

Any digunakan dalam pernyataan-pernyataan negatif. Misalnya:
- I don’t have any money.
- There aren’t any taxis near here.

Any juga umumnya digunakan dalam pertanyaan, khususnya jika kita memperkirakan jawabannya adalah “Tidak”. Contoh:
- Do you have any paper? (penanya memperkirakan jawabannya kemungkinan “Tidak”)
- Is there any time to go to the doctor’s? (penanya memperkirakan kemungkinan tidak ada waktu).

Some dan any sering digunakan seperti artikel (a/an) untuk kata benda jamak. A/an digunakan untuk kata benda countable tunggal, dan some/any bisa digunakan untuk kata benda jamak, countable atau uncountable. Misalnya:
- I have a newspaper, some newspaper, and some money

“A newspaper” merupakan kata benda countable tunggal jadi digunakan a, “newspapers” merupakan kata benda countable jamak jadi digunakan some, dan money merupakan kata benda uncountable jadi juga digunakan some.

Pada awalnya memang kelihatan rumit, tetapi ketika anda mempraktikkan penggunaannya dan tidak sekedar membacanya akan lebih bermakna, dan semakin anda berpengalaman dan percaya diri anda akan segera belajar menggunakan grammar bahasa Inggris dengan baik.

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

No, I don’t, but I’ve got some tea. Do you want some?
Yes, please.

Let’s just buy a gift voucher. Then she can choose her own present.
Great idea!

Kosa kata baru:

Any = satu atau beberapa coffee = kopi some = beberapa tea = teh I’ve got = I have = mendapatkan cookie = kue kering refrigerator = kulkas taco = taco cupboard = lemari birthday = ulang tahun

Get = mendapatkan present = kado/hadiah perfume = parfum use = menggunakan watch = jam tangan size = ukuran gift voucher = voucher hadiah then = kemudian choose = memilih

Quantifier – Much / Many / A Lot of

 

Quantifier adalah kata-kata yang menunjuk seberapa banyak jumlah suatu benda – yakni quantifier menunjukkan kuantitas. Much, many, dan a lot of menandakan banyaknya jumlah sesuatu, sebagai contoh “I have a lot of milk” berarti saya mempunyai banyak susu.

Much

Much digunakan untuk kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung (uncountable), dan umumnya digunakan dalam pernyataan-pernyataan negatif dan kalimat bertanya. Tidak lazim menggunakan much pada pernyataan-pernyataan positif. Sebagai contoh:

• I don’t have much money.
• Do you have much time?
• “I have much time.” Ini kedengaran tidak lazim.

Many

Many digunakan untuk kata benda yang dapat dihitung (countable), dan sering digunakan pada pernyataan-pernyataan negatif dan kalimat bertanya. Akan tetapi, many juga digunakan dalam pernyataan-pernyataan positif. Contoh:

• I don’t have many apples.
• Do you have many friends?
• Many people come here in summer.

Much dan many bisa digunakan dalam pernyataan-pernyataan afirmatif, tetapi memberikan makna yang lebih formal. Misalnya:

• He has many good friends from Harvard University.

Much dan many sering muncul dalam pertanyaan-pertanyaan singkat. Misalnya:

• Do you see your family much?
• No, not much.

A lot of

A lot of digunakan untuk kata benda uncountable dan countable, dan umumnya digunakan untuk pernyataan-pernyataan afirmatif. Misalnya:

• I have a lot of friends.
• I have a lot of time.

A lot of juga digunakan dalam pertanyaan, khususnya jika kita memperkirakan jawabannya adalah positif. Walaupun sering disebutkan bahwa much dan many digunakan untuk pertanyaan, kita biasa menggunakannya untuk pertanyaan yang jawabannya diperkirakan negatif. Sebagai contoh:

• Do you want a lot of pizza? (Penanya memperkirakan anda ingin makan banyak)

• Do you want much pizza? (Ini kedengaran tidak lazim, tetapi penanya memperkirakan anda tidak ingin makan banyak.)

Lots of bisa digunakan dengan cara yang sama seperti a lot of, seringkali dalam pembicaraan informal. Misalnya:

• I have lots of time.
• I have a lot of time.

How much / how many?

How much digunakan untuk menanyakan tentang harga sesuatu. Misalnya:

• How much is it?
• How much is that dog in the window?

How much dan How many digunakan untuk menanyakan tentang kuantitas. Misalnya:

• How much money do you have?
• How many apples does he have?

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) We need to go shopping.
I don’t think so, we’ve got a lot of food here.
We don’t have much milk or bread, and we don’t have much water.
Oh, OK. Lets go shopping this evening.

2) How’s your university?
It’s great. I have lots of friends and there are a lot of great professors. I don’t have much money, but that’s OK. Also I’m really busy these days, so I don’t have much time.
Are you enjoying it?
Sure, it’s going well.

3) How many students are in your class?
We don’t have many students, just eight.
That’s great! You can study a lot.
Right. And I can talk to the teacher a lot as well. That’s good.
Do you have many friends in your class?
Yes, I go out with them a lot.

Kosa kata baru:

Shopping = belanja think = pikir/anggap a lot of = banyak much = banyak milk = susu bread = roti shopping = belanja evening = malam new = baru

University = universitas friends = teman professors = profesor busy = sibuk these days = belakangan ini class = kelas many = banyak right = benar go out = keluar

Quantifier – Few / Little / A Few / A Little

 

Quantifiter-quantifier ini digunakan untuk menunjukkan sedikitnya jumlah sesuatu, misalnya “I have a few books” berarti Saya mempunyai sedikit buku.

A Few

A few digunakan bersama kata benda yang dapat dihitung (countable) untuk menunjukkan kuantitas yang sedikit. A few juga digunakan dalam pernyataan-pernyataan afirmatif, tetapi tidak pada kalimat negatif. Kita umumnya menggunakan any untuk kalimat tanya. Contoh:

• I have a few books
• I don’t have a few books (ini tidak benar).
• I don’t have any books (ini benar)
• Do you have a few books?

Terkadang kita bisa menggunakan any untuk pertanyaan, misalnya “Do you have any books?”

Few

Ada perbedaan penting antara a few dan few. Few tanpa a digunakan dengan maksud bahwa kita memiliki sesuatu dalam jumlah yang tidak cukup. Milsanya:

• She has few apples in refrigerator. (Dia tidak memiliki cukup apel)
• She has a few apples apples in refrigerator. (Apel yang dimiliki jumlahnya sedikit)

Supaya mudah dimengerti, “a few” berarti “jumlah yang sedikit”, sedangkan “few” berarti “bukan jumlah yang banyak”. Contoh:

• A few friends came to my party. This is a positive idea. I’m happy a few people came. (Sedikit teman yang datang ke acaraku. Ini hal yang positif. Saya senang karena sedikit yang datang)

• Few friends came to my party. This is a negative idea. I’m not happy because not many people came. (Tidak banyak yang datang ke acaraku. Ini hal yang negatif. Saya tidak senang karena tidak banyak yang datang)

Perhatikan bagaimana “a few” berfokus pada berapa banyak orang yang datang, tetapi “few” berfokus pada berapa banyak orang yang tidak datang.

Ringkasnya, A few berarti jumlah yang sedikit dan few berarti jumlah yang tidak banyak.

A Little

A little digunakan bersama dengan kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung (uncountable) untuk menunjukkan jumlah yang sedikit. Lagi, a little umumnya digunakan dalam pernyataan afirmatif, bukan dalam kalimat negatif atau bertanya. Contoh:

• I have a little orange juice.

Kalimat negatif dan bertanya menggunakan “any” sebagaimana biasanya.

• I don’t have a little orange juice (ini tidak benar)
• I don’t have any orange juice (ini benar)
• Do you have a little orange juice?

Lagi, kita umumnya menggunakan any untuk pertanyaan, misalnya “Do you have any orange juice?”

Little

Seperti dengan few, ada perbedaan antara a little dan little. Little tanpa a digunakan dengan maksud bahwa kita tidak memiliki sesuatu dalam jumlah yang cukup. Contoh:

• She has little for breakfast. (Dia tidak makan cukup untuk sarapan)
• She has a little for breakfast. (Dia makan sedikit makanan untuk sarapan).

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) How’s your job going?
It’s great, now I save a little money every month.
That’s great. These days I can save little money, my apartment is expensive.

2) Are there any bookstores near here?
Not really, there are few bookstores near here.
So how do I buy books?

Thanks, that sounds great.

3) Do you like coffee?
No, I drink little coffee, it doesn’t taste very good.
How about tea?
Sure, I often drink a little tea.
Do you want some?
Yes, please!

Kosa kata baru:

Job = pekerjaan a little = sedikit money = uang every = setiap month = bulan save = tabung/simpan apartment = apartemen expensive = mahal bad = buruk

Bookstore = toko buku few = sedikit near = dekat buy = membli center = pusat town = kota afternoon = sore taste = rasa drink = minum

Possessives (kata kepunyaan/milik)

 

Possessives menunjukkan siapa atau apa yang menjadi pemilik sesuatu – yakni menunjukkan kepemilikan.

Kebanyakan kata benda bisa dijadikan bentuk kepunyaan hanya dengan menambahkan ‘s. Sebagai contoh:

• The restaurant‘s food is very good.
• David Beckam‘s right foot is excellent.
• You can eat an apple‘s skin.

Jika kata benda jamak dan berakhiran huruf “s”, maka cukup ditambahkan tanda petik ( ‘ ). Sebagai contoh:

Kata girls pada kalimat berikut adalah jamak dan berakhiran dengan “s” sehingga:

• The girls’ books are interesting. (The girls’s books are interesting)

Kata children pada kalimat berikut jamak tetapi tidak berakhiran dengan huruf “s” jadi tetap kita tambahkan ‘s seperti biasa.

• The children’s books are interesting.

Kata boss pada kalimat berikut berakhiran huruf “s” tetapi tidak jamak, jadi tetap kita tambahkan ‘s seperti biasa.

• The boss’s office is very big

Akan tetapi ini bisa terlihat ganjil, sehingga kita kadang-kadang perlu hanya menggunakan tanda ‘. Sebagai contoh dengan nama:
Thomas’s book, Tess’s house juga bisa menjadi Thomas’ book, Tess’ house.

Kaidah dasarnya adalah: jika kata benda jamak dan berakhiran huruf “s” tambahkan tanda ‘ - tetapi jika tidak tetap tambahkan ‘s.

1. Possessive adjective (kata sifat milik)

Berikut kata sifat milik dengan contoh kalimat. Perhatikan bahwa kata sifat milik ditempatkan sebelum kata benda.

Possessive Adjective My Your (singular) Her His Our Your (plural) Their Its

Contoh This is my book Your car looks great. Her watch is expensive. His house is on Chamber Street. Our dog is cute. Your friends are nice. This is their ball. The cat likes its food.

2. Possessive pronoun (kata ganti milik)

Berikut kata ganti milik dengan beberapa contoh kalimat. Perhatikan bahwa kata ganti milik tidak pernah ditempatkan sebelum kata benda.

Possessive Pronoun Mine Yours (tunggal) Hers His Ours Yours (jamak) Theirs Its

Contoh This book is mine. That car is yours. The expensive watch is hers. The house on Chamber Street is his. The cute dog is ours. Those friends are yours. This ball is theirs. –

Tidak ada kata ganti milik untuk its, jadi kita tidak bisa mengatakan “The book is its“. Kata ganti milik juga sering ditempatkan di akhir kalimat dan biasanya ditekankan. “This is my book” bisa memiliki makna yang cukup faktual, tetapi “This book is mine” lebih menekankan siapa pemilik buku itu.

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) Whose watch is this?
Oh, it’s mine.
And whose pen is this?
It’s Tim’s, I think.

2) Whose CDs are these?
They’re mine. Do you like them?
Sure, I’ve got the same CDs at home.

3) Who lives in that house?
Oh, that’s the Jones’ house. This is our house.
Your house is really nice.
Thanks.
Is this your car?
No that’s not mine, it’s my neighbor’s. This is mine.

Kosa kata baru:

whose = punya siapa watch = jam tangan mine  = punya saya these =ini CD = CD mine = punya saya

same = sama Jones – a common family name our = kami nice = bagus neighbor = tetangga

There is / there are

“There” adalah salah satu jenis kata ganti yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan sesuatu yang diketahui ada.

Coba bandingkan kedua kalimat berikut:

1. “A fly is in my soup.”
2. “There is a fly in my soup!”

Kalimat pertama adalah kalimat faktual dan impersonal. The fly (lalat) adalah subjek, dan soup (sop) adalah objek. Dalam kalimat ke-dua objek adalah “a fly in my soup”, sehingga subjek adalah “There”. “There” berfungsi sebagai sebuah jenis subjek sulih (dummy) yang mewakili perspektif yang lebih personal ketimbang pernyataan faktual.

Terkhusus dalam bahasa Inggris lisan kita biasanya menggunakan singkatan.

Berikut bentuk-bentuk “there” dalam kalimat Simple Present.

Kalimat positif There’s a tree in my garden. There are books on the desk. (‘there are’ tidak memiliki singkatan) Kalimat negatif There isn’t a computer in my bedroom. There aren’t any cinemas here.

Pertanyaan Is there a restaurant here? Yes, there is. / No, there isn’t

There is digunakan bersama kata benda tunggal. Contoh:

• There is a book on the table

There are digunakan bersama kata benda jamak. Contoh:

• There are two magazines on the desk.

Akan tetapi, terkadang kita dapat menggunakan “There is” bersama dengan subjek ganda, misalnya:

• There’s a bank and apost office near my house.

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) Tyler, do you like London?
Sure, there are lots of restaurants and shops, and there’s a lot of beautiful parks and museums as well.
I really want to live there.
Me too!

2) Hey, this is a great apartment.
Thanks. There’s a lot of space, and there are some really nice neighbors as well.
Are there any stores near here?
Sure, there is a supermarket near here.
You have a great view!
Right. There’s only one problem.
What’s that?
It’s really expensive!

3) Is there any pizza?
No we don’t have any, sorry.
Well, are there any apples?
Er, yes, there’s some in the kitchen. Help yourself.

Kosa kata baru:

there are = ada restaurant = restoran shop = toko there is = ada beautiful = indah park = taman museum = museum there  = disana live = tinggal apartment = apartemen

space =ruang near = dekat nearby = dekat view = pendapat problem = masalah expensive = mahal pizza = pizza sorry = maaf kitchen = dapur help yourself = kerjakan sendiri

Have / Have Got

“Have” dan “have got” keduanya digunakan untuk menunjukkan kepemilikan. Contoh: “I have a pen”, dan “I have got a pen” memiliki makna yang sama (Saya punya sebuah pulpen). Berikut beberapa poin utama yang perlu diperhatikan ketika memilih kapan menggunakan have dan kapan menggunakan have got.

Have

Bentuk simple present dari have adalah sebagai berikut.

Tunggal Afirmatif I have a pen You have a pen She has a pen He has a pen It has a pen Negatif I do not have a pen = I don’t have a pen You do not have a pen = You don’t have a pen She does not have a pen = She doesn’t have a pen He does not have a pen = He doesn’t have a pen It does not have a pen = It doesn’t have a pen Pertanyaan Do I have a pen? Do you have a pen? Does she has a pen? Does he has a pen? Does it have a pen?

Jamak Afirmatif We have a pen You have a pen They have a pen Negatif We do not have a pen = We don’t have a pen You do not have a pen = You don’t have a pen They do not have a pen = They don’t have a pen Pertanyaan Do we have a pen? Do you have a pen? Do they have a pen?

Kita bisa membuat pertanyaan dengan kata have dengan menggunakan kata kerja bantu “to do.” Sebagai contoh:

- Positif: You have a pen.
- Bertanya: Do you have a pen?
- Have you a pen? Ini umumnya tidak benar, walaupun terkadang ditemukan dalam bahasa Inggris Britis.

Kata kerja have sering disingkat dalam Bahasa Inggris, tetapi apabila have digunakan untuk menunjukkan kepemilikan kita tidak boleh menggunakan singkatan. Jika kita ingin menyingkat have maka kita harus menggunakan have got (lihat berikut). Contoh:

• I’ve a pen. He’s a pen. Kalimat ini tidak benar.

Jika do not dan does not menyertai have maka do not atau does not bisa disingkat menjadi don’t dan doesn’t. Sebagai contoh:

• He doesn’t have a pen = He does not have a pen.

Bentuk simple present dari have got adalah sebagai berikut.

Have got

Tunggal Afirmatif I have got a pen = I’ve got a pen You have got a pen = You’ve got a pen She has got a pen = She’s got a pen He has got a pen = He’s got a pen It has got a pen = It’s got a pen Negatif I have not got a pen = I haven’t got a pen You have not got a pen = You haven’t got a pen She has not got a pen = She hasn’t got a pen He has not got a pen = He hasn’t got a pen It has not got a pen = It hasn’t got a pen Pertanyaan Have I got a pen? Have you got a pen? Has he got a pen? Has she got a pen? Has it got a pen?

Jamak Afirmatif We have got a pen = We’ve got a pen You have got a pen = You’ve got a pen They have got a pen = They’ve got a pen Negatif We have not got a pen = We haven’t got a pen You have not got a pen = You haven’t got a pen They have not got a pen = They haven’t got a pen Pertanyaan Have we got a pen? Have you got a pen? Have they got a pen?

Pernyataan-pernyataan afirmatif bisa menggunakan singkatan dari have got, sebagai contoh:

• I have got some food = I’ve got some food
• He has got some food = He’s got some food

Singkatan negatif sebagai berikut:

• I haven’t got any food = I have not got any food
• She hasn’t got any food = She has not got any food

Have got merupakan bentuk yang agak tidak lazim karena ini merupakan bentuk perfect tense yang belum kita pelajari pada unit-unit sebelumnya. Juga perlu diingat bahwa kata kerja have memiliki banyak kegunaan, tetapi penjelasan diatas hanya untuk kegunaannya sebagai bentuk kepemilikan.

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) What have you got?
I’ve got a new jacket. How about you?
I’ve got a some new T-shirts.

Imperative (kalimat perintah)

 

Imperative digunakan untuk memberikan perintah atau anjuran. Sebagai contoh: “Come here! atau “Have a cookie”.

Let’s

Kata kerja let sering digunakan sebagai imperative untuk memberikan anjuran yang kuat. Let’s merupakan singkatan dari let us. Misalnya:

• Let’s watch a movie (mari kota nonton film).

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) Be careful!
Why? What’s wrong?

Present continous tense

 

Present Continous Tense digunakan untuk tindakan-tindakan yang sedang terjadi saat sekarang. Misalnya, “I am studying English” berarti bahwa saya sedang dalam proses belajar bahasa Inggris sekarang.

Bentuk

Present Continous Tense dibentuk dengan menambahkan kata kerja “to be” dan bentuk -ing. Perhatikan tabel berikut:

Tunggal Afirmatif I am studying You are studying She is studying He is studying It is studying Negatif I am not studying You are not studying She is not studying He is not studying It is not studying Pertanyaan Am I studying? Are you studying? Is she studying?

Jamak Afirmatif We are studying You are studying They are studying Negatif We are not studying You are not studying They are not studying Pertanyaan Are we studying? Are you sutdying? Are they studying?

Untuk kelimat negatif kita cukup menambahkan not setelah kata kerja bantu “to be”, contoh:

• I am playing -> I am not playing

Untuk pertanyaan kita menukar posisi subjek dan kata kerja bantu “to be”, sebagai contoh:

• You are playing -> Are you playing?

Kegunaan

Present Continous Tense digunakan untuk tindakan-tindakan yang sedang terjadi saat sekarang. Contoh:

• We are studying English (kami sedang belajar bahasa Inggris)
• You are using a computer (kamu sedang menggunakan komputer)

Present Continous Tense juga digunakan untuk proses-proses yang terjadi di sekitar waktu sekarang. Misalnya:

• It is raining today (hari ini hujan)
• I am working in Paris this month (saya kerja di Paris bulan ini)
• The world is turning (dunia berputar)

Periode waktu dari kalimat pertama diatas adalah today (hari ini), kalimat kedua satu bulan, dan kalimat terakhir selama-lamanya, tetapi semua kalimat ini membicarakan tentang proses-proses yang terjadi di sekitar waktu sekarang. Proses-proses tersebut terjadi sebelum waktu sekarang, sedang terjadi sekarang, dan akan terus berlangsung setelah sekarang. Inilah inti pokok dari Present Continous tense.

Present Continous tense juga digunakan untuk tindakan atau kebiasaan yang berulang. Pengulangan seperti ini dianggap sebagai sebuah proses yang terus berlanjut (kontinyu). Sebagai contoh:

• I am getting up early this week (saya cepat bangun pekan ini)

Tentunya subjek (I) pada kalimat diatas tidak hanya bangun satu kali dalam satu pekan, tetapi selama satu pekan subjek akan bangun cepat setiap hari, jadi ini bisa dianggap sebagai satu proses.

Present Continous juga digunakan untuk rencana-rencana di masa mendatang yang sudah pasti waktunya. Contoh:

• I’m going to Rome at 10.30 tomorrow (saya akan pergi ke Roma jam 10.30 besok)
• She’s coming to my apartment this evening (dia akan datang ke apartemenku malam ini)

Pengejaan

Untuk membuat bentuk -ing, yang juga dikenal sebagai present participle, kita biasanya menambahkan -ing ke kata kerja. Contoh:

• study – studying
• eat – eating
• jump – jumping

Untuk kata-kata kerja yang berakhiran -e, kita menghilangkan huruf e dan menambahkan -ing. Contoh:

• write – writing: bukan writeing
• skate – skating: bukan skateing.

Untuk kata kerja yang berakhiran dengan suku kata dan huruf konsonan, kita biasanya menggandakan huruf konsonan terakhir dan menambahkan -ing. Contoh:

• run – running: bukan runing
• cut – cutting: bukan cuting

Untuk kata kerja yang berakhiran -ie kita mengganti -ie dengan -y dan menambahkan -ing. Contoh:

• lie – lying: bukan lieing

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

1) What are you doing?
I’m studying English. What are you doing?
I’m making some food. Do you want some?
Sure!

2) Right now I’m working at home. My friend is talking on the ‘phone and my sister is studying Spanish. She wants to be a businesswoman, so she’s learning a new language. I usually work at the office, but today I’m working at home. It’s great fun!

Kosa kata baru:

Adverb of frequency (kata keterangan frekuensi)

 

Adverb of frequency menunjukkan seberapa sering sesuatu terjadi. Contoh: “I always brush my teeth” berarti saya menyikat gigi saya setiap hari.

Berikut beberapa kata keterangan frekuensi yang umum dipakai.

Keterangan Always (selalu) - He always eats breakfast. Usually (biasanya) - He usually eats breakfast. Often (sering) – He often eats breakfast. Sometimes (kadang-kadang) – He sometimes eats breakfast. Never (tidak pernah) – He never eats breakfast. Untuk aktivitas yang tidak sering kita dapat menggunakan: Don’t usually (tidak biasanya) - He doesn’t usually eat breakfast.

Frekuensi 100% 80% 60% 40%-50% - 0% - 20%

Kata keterangan frekuensi afirmatif/negatif

Kata keterangan frekuensi afirmatif bisa dibuat menjadi negatif, contoh:

- I don’t always eat rice for breakfast.
- He doesn’t usually come home late.

Kata keterangan frekuensi negatif tidak bisa dibuat menjadi negatif, contoh:

- I don’t never eat rice for breakfast – Ini tidak tepat

Posisi kata keterangan frekuensi

Posisi kata keterangan dalam bahasa Inggris cukup bervariasi. Akan tetapi sebagai aturan umum kata keterangan frekuensi diletakkan sebelum kata kerja utama. Contoh:

Kalimatkalimat berikut sudah benar: “sometimes” ditempatkan sebelum kata kerja utama “play”

• We sometimes play sports.
• We don’t often play sports.

Kalimat-kalimat berikut tidak tepat:

• We play sometimes sports.
• We don’t play often sports.

Kata keterangan frekuensi juga bisa ditempatkan di posisi lain, contoh:

• We play sports sometimes.

Pada kalimat diatas kata keterangan frekuensi terletak di akhir kalimat.

• Sometimes we come home late.

Peletakan di awal kalimat juga dibenarkan, khususnya ketika kita ingin menambahkan penekanan pada apa yang diucapkan.

Contoh penggunaan dalam percakapan

We always bow to people we meet, and we never joke about people’s names.

Kosa kata baru:

Weekend = akhir pekan always = selalu sometimes = kadang-kadang watch = nonton movie = film never = tidak pernah concert = konser often = sering what kind = jenis apa person = orang friendly = ramah outgoing = suka pergi-pergi usually = biasanya complain = mengeluh shout = berteriak

Comparatives dan Superlatives (Tingkat lebih dan Tingkat paling)

Comparative (tingkat lebih) menunjukkan kurang atau lebih sebuah atribut tertentu – yakni membandingkan dua hal atau lebih. Comparative umumnya digunakan untuk membandingkan dua hal, dan superlative (tingkat paling) digunakan untuk membandingkan tiga hal atau lebih.

Jika sudah jelas kita hanya akan membuat perbandingan dengan sesuatu yang lain, maka kita cukup menggunakan bentuk comparative. Contoh:

• I am faster.
• She is older.

Atau kita bisa menggunakan than sebelum sesuatu yang kita jadikan pembanding. Contoh:

• I am faster than John.
• She is taller than me.

Bentuk superlative (tingkat paling) tidak menggunakan than dan selalu didahuluui oleh artikel definit the. Contoh:

• I am the tallest student in my school.

1. Comparatives (tingkat lebih)

Kata sifat dengan 1 suku kata

Untuk membuat bentuk komparatif dari sebuah kata sifat yang memiliki satu suku kata, kita menambahkan -er di belakang kata, contoh:

• slow – slower
• fast – faster
• tall – taller
• short – shorter

Untuk membuat perbandingan dari sebuah kata sifat yang memiliki satu suku kata dan berakhiran dengan huruf -e, kita cukup menambahkan -r. Contoh:

• nice – nicer
• large – larger

Jika kata sifat dengan satu suku kata yang berakhiran dengan huruf vokal dan konsonan, maka kita menggandakan huruf konsonan. Contoh:

• - big – bigger
• hot – hotter
• thin – thinner

Kata sifat dengan 2 suku kata

Jika kata sifat memiliki dua atau lebih suku kata, kita menambahkan more sebelum kata sifat. Contoh:

• This book is more expensive than that book.
• This picture is more beautiful.

Akan tetapi, ada banyak pengecualian terhadap aturan satu/dua suku -kata ini.

Beberapa kata dengan 2 suku-kata memiliki sifat yang mirip dengan kata yang memiliki 1 suku-kata. Contoh:

• This is easier – Benar
• This is more easy – Tidak benar
• This is simpler – Benar
• This is more simple – Tidak benar

Dan beberapa kata sifat bisa menggunakan kedua bentuk komparatif. Contoh:

- clever – cleverer – more clever: These are all correct.
- quiet – quieter – more quiet: These are all correct.

Pengecualian-pengecualian yang ada bisa dipelajari melalui kaidah-kaidah, cara terbaik untuk mempelajarinya adalah dengan mempelajarinya satu demi satu.

2. Superlative (tingkat paling)

Kata sifat dengan 1 suku-kata

Untuk membuat superlative dari sebuah kata sifat yang memiliki 1 suku kata, kita menambahkan -est, Contoh:

• slow – slowest
• fast – fastest
• tall – tallestr
• short – shortest

Jika kata sifat yang memiliki 1 suku-kata berakhiran dengan huruf vokal dan kosonan, maka kita menggandakan huruf konsonan. Contoh:

• big – biggest
• hot – hottest
• thin – thinnest

Kata sifat dengan 2 suku-kata

Jika kata sifat memiliki 2 suku-kata atau lebih, kita menambahkan most didepan kata sifat. Contoh:

• This book is the most expensive book.
• This picture is the most beautiful picture in the museum.

Bentuk tidak beraturan

Ada beberapa bentuk tidak beraturan. Berikut beberapa kata sifat beserta bentuk komparatif dan superlatif yang tidak beraturan.

• good – better – best
• bad – worse – worst
• far – farther – farthest
• far – further – furthest
• little – less – least
• much/many – more – most

Contoh:

• You are the best student in the world!
• I am far from home, he is further from home, but he is the furthest from home.

Oh, it’s much better these days. It’s easier than before, and I know more words and I can speak more confidently. It’s great.
