Welcome to English360!
Hi, I’m Maula Nikma. I’ve been teaching English and TOEFL for years now. I write
ebooks such as “9 Rahasia Ngomong Inggris Otomatis dalam 120 Hari”, “TOEFL
Survivor”, “Learn English The Ninja Way”, “Oleh-oleh dari Cambridge”. I highly
recommend the ebooks so you can understand the whole idea of ‘learning English’
from my perspective. They are free to download!
I also have digital learning products; Hacking English System (DVD), StrategiTOEFL
(DVD), Pronunciation Mastery (DVD), INGGRIS.IN (LIVE Tutorial with Native
Speaker) and about to release my brand new projects on 14 different subjects.
English360
This was everyday lesson sent to my students’ email for 1 (360 means 360 days) year
when it came out in early 2018. However, I was thinking it’d be even better if people
could learn the entire lessons from just 1 ebook instead of day-by-day lesson.
From this ebook, you can learn and practice functional English, grammar, and many
more. I do hope you enjoy it.
One more thing, make sure you subscribe to my email list and facebook group. I share
a lot of new lessons via email and give you free LIVE lessons and QnA on facebook.

1. Introducing yourself.
When you meet a new friend, it is very polite to tell your name. There are many
ways how to introduce yourself in English.
You can say:

Hi, my name is Rudi. What is your name?
Hello, I am Rudi, and you are?
Hi, I’m Rudi, and you?
The first example is introducing yourself in a formal occasion. And the last example
is most commonly used when introducing yourself to a friend of the same age.
You can also say with additional information about yourself
Hi, I’m Rudi. I’m from Bandung and now I live in Jakarta. Nice to meet you.
--
Ketika kamu bertemu dengan kawan baru, akan sangat sopan jika kamu
memperkenalkan diri terlebih dahulu. Banyak cara untuk memperkenalkan diri
dalam bahasa Inggris.
Kamu bisa mulai dengan:
Hi, my name is Rudi. What is your name?

Hello, I am Rudi, and you are?
Hi, I’m Rudi, and you?
So, whenever you meet a new friend, introduce yourself with one of the example
above. Plus, don’t forget to ask his or her name, too.
2. Introducing others
Sometimes, you want to introduce your new friend to your family. So, you need to
tell your family your new friend’s name, where he or she lives, and what’s your
relationship with him or her.

You can simply say:
- Hi everybody, this is my new friends, Rina.

- This is Rina, she lives in Jakarta. And we are co-worker.
- Hi, have you met Rina? She works with me.
It is important to remember when introducing friends, you should stress/

emphasize his or her name. For example;
Have you met RINA?
This’s RINA.
Please keep in mind before introducing friends, you need to know more about your
new friends before introducing him/her to your family or your other friends.
--
Untuk memperkenalkan orang lain dengan bahasa Inggris, kamu bisa memulai
dengan:
- Hi everybody, this is my new friends, Rina.

- This is Rina, she lives in Jakarta. And we are co-worker.
- Hi, have you met Rina? She works with me.
Penting untuk diingat! Ketika memperkenal kan orang lain, nama mereka harus
ditekankan. Contohnya:
Have you met RINA?
This’s RINA.
Jangan lupa ketika memperkenalkan orang lain, kamu harus tau background orang
tersebut.
Ok, that’s it for today. I’ll see you next time.
3. Telling more about yourself
In the real life, after you have introduced yourself, people want to know more about
where you live. So, here’s how to tell more about your address.
I come from Medan.

I’m from Medan.
I live in Medan.
I’ve been living in Medan for 5 years

Info: WA 08116876996
3
Look again to the phrase, come from. This phrase is used to tell other people where
you were born. The second example only uses the word from. You can say like this
in an informal situation
The phrase live in is very common when you want to tell your address. You can, for
example, come from Medan, but you live in Bandung.
--
Cara memberitahu kawan asal dan di mana kamu tinggal dalam bahasa Inggris
sangat mudah. Kamu bisa mulai dengan:
I come from Medan.

I’m from Medan.
I live in Medan.
I’ve been living in Medan for 5 years
Kata yang perlu diingat adalah,

Come from – digunakan untuk memberi tahu asal kamu
Live in – digunakan untuk mengatakan dimana kamu tinggal sekarang
(seperti pada contoh diatas)
I’m from – cara lain untuk mengatakan (I come from).
That’s about it. Check for tomorrow’s lesson at the same time. See you!
4. Pronouns in English
There are 7 pronouns in English. Each pronoun functions differently.
subject pronoun: I, you, they, we, she, he, it

object pronoun: me, you, them, our, him, her, it
possessive pronoun: mine, yours, his, hers, theirs, ours, its
you need to remember which subject pronoun and which subject pronoun.

Info: WA 08116876996
4
You probably have seen the word my, your, his, her, their, our, its. These words are
called possessive adjective, they act as adjective that describe a noun. For example,
my book, our freedom.
Note that possessive adjectives cannot act as subject or object. But they must be
followed by a noun to be a subject or an object. For example, my son is taller than your
son.
--
Pronoun adalah kata ganti. Kata ganti dalam bahasa Inggris terdapat 7.
I, you, they, we, she, he, it adalah kata ganti yang digunakan sebagai subjek
pada kalimat.
Me, you, them, us, her, him, it adalah kata ganti yang digunakan sebagai
objek pada kalimat.
Jadi, kita tidak menggunakan me atau them pada awal kalimat.
She likes me (bukan) she likes I
Possessive pronoun digunakan untuk mengatakan kepunyaan. Tidak seperti

possessive adjectives, possessive pronoun tidak membutuhkan kata benda lagi.
- That book is mine

- That is my book
o Salah
o Mine book
Tomorrow, we are going to look at how these pronouns are used in real life
5. Subject pronouns
As we all remember form the previous email that there are seven subject pronouns
in English, I, you, they, we, she, he, it. Each of these subject pronoun must be
followed by a verb. For example;

Info: WA 08116876996
5
She likes learning English with mr. Rijal.
We work for mr. Rijal.
Think of examples for the other subject pronouns!
Note that subject pronouns are not used with the same be verb. Look at the list
below
You are / you’re she is / she’s

They are / they’re he is / he’s
We are / we’re it is / it’s
I am / I’m
--
Cara menggunakan kata ganti dalam bahasa Inggris.
I, you, they, we, she, he, it selalu membutuhkan kata kerja (verb), karena
mereka semua adalah subjek kalimat. Perhatikan contoh berikut:
She likes learning English with mr. Rijal.

We work for mr. Rijal.
Subjek kata kerja like ditambah s karena subjek nya adalah she. (she, he, it selalu
menggunakan s(es) pada akhir kalimat). Namun, kata kerja work tidak
membutuhkan s karena subjek we adalah subjek plural.
Perhatikan kata ganti subjek berikut jika digunakan dengan kata kerja be:
You are / you’re she is / she’s

They are / they’re he is / he’s
We are / we’re it is / it’s
I am / I’m
Selalu perhatikan subjek dan be nya, mereka tidak bisa diganti dengan be yang lain.
Yup, that’s about it for today. Make sure to familiarize yourself how to use pronoun
and the be. I’ll see you tomorrow for more English lessons.

Info: WA 08116876996

6. Object pronouns (me, you, them, us, him, her, it)
Object pronoun is use as an object of the verb of a sentence. For example;
I need to talk to him about the offer

She’s always nice to me
They don’t like us very much
You can see the different between me and I that in the first and the second example, I
is the subject. But me is the object.
--
me, you, them, us, him, her, it adalah kata ganti yang digunakan sebagai objek pada
kalimat. Mereka selalu digunakan setelah kata kerja. Perhatikan contoh yang diatas
sekali lagi.
I need to talk to him about the offer

She’s always nice to me
They don’t like us very much
Pada kalimat pertama dan kedua, kita bisa membedakan penggunaan I dan me, I
digunakan sebagai subjek sedangkan me digunakan sebagai objek. Dalam bahasa
indonesia, keduanya diartikan saya.
Quick Quiz! Are the following sentences correct?
- She and me want to visit our friend at the hospital

- They talk about him and I.
Well, I bet you can differentiate the subject and the object pronouns. If you can’t,
there’s so much time to learn more about it. I’ll see you tomorrow.
7. How to use possessive pronouns
In case you forget. These are call possessive pronoun mine, yours, his, hers, theirs,
ours.
Look at the example below to see how to use them.

Info: WA 08116876996
7
- This book is not mine, it’s theirs
- I like yours more than hers
- Take what’s mine
Please keep in mind that mine and my are not use the same.
We use my always with a noun, it can’t stand along
- My book.
- The book is mine
---
Untuk mengatakan kepunyaan, dalam bahasa Inggris kita menggukanan kata ganti
kepunyaan. Kita menggunakan mine, yours, his, hers, theirs, ours dan its.
Perhatikan kembali contoh di atas

- This book is not mine, it’s theirs
- I like yours more than hers
- Take what’s mine
Penting diingat! Mine dan my tidak sama penggunaanya. My digunakan dengan kata
benda sedangkan mine tidak
- My book.
- The book is mine
Quick Quiz!
Compare possessive pronouns and their adjectives pronouns. Then, make two
sentences
Ex: yours – your
- I like yours
- Your book is like mine
I’ll see you tomorrow for more english lesson
8. Subject pronoun and object pronoun
In English, I and other subject pronoun might confuse you with the object pronoun.
You should always keep in mind that subject pronoun comes before the verb whole
the object pronoun comes after the verb. Look at the example below.
The vice president and I are going to visit the queen of England.
- The subject pronoun I comes before the verb are

- His new book tells the life story of me
- The object pronoun me comes after the verb tells.

Info: WA 08116876996
8
Note that subject is the one who do the action while object is the one who gets done
on and by something.
Important to remember that I as person as in I like dancing and I as nonperson as in I

is the 9th alphabet in English differ in use and also meaning.
This rule also applies for other subject pronouns.
---
Dalam bahasa Inggris, I dan kata ganti lainnya sangat membingungkan dengan
penggunaan kata ganti objek. Yang perlu diingat adalah kata ganti subjek selalu
datang sebelum kata kerja. Perhatikan contoh berikut ini.
The vice president and I are going to visit the queen of England.
- Kata ganti I datang sebelum kata kerja are

- His new book tells the life story of me
- Objek me datang setelah kata kerja tells.
Ingat! Subjek adalah yang melakukan perkerjaan sedangkan objek adalah terkena
perkerjaan.
Penting diingat bahwa I sebagai orang seperti dalam kalimat I like dancing, dan I
sebagai kata benda mati seperti dalam kalimat I is the 9th alphabet in English
memiliki makna dan penggunaan yang berbeda. Aturan ini juga berlaku pada kata
ganti subjek yang lain.
Yup, that’s the lesson on the use of subject and object pronouns. I’ll see you
tomorrow.
9. How to use mine and my?
Mine is a possessive pronoun. It is uses without telling the noun again as in example;
the book that he bought is similar to mine. (meaning, my book and his book is
similar)
My is possessive adjective. Like all adjective, it gives extra information to the
noun. For example;
My car drives faster than his car.

Info: WA 08116876996
9
----
Hi, kali ini kita akan melihat cara menggunakan mine dan my.
Mine digunakan sebagain kepunyaan, tapi tidak menyebutkan kata benda lagi.
Contohnya.
a. the book that he bought is similar to mine.
My berfungsi sebagai kata sifat. Seperti kata sifat yang lain, my harus datang
dengan kata benda. Contohnya,
b. My car drives faster than his car.
Try to make your sentence using mine and my. I’ll see you tomorrow for
more lesson.
10. Sentences in English
Hi, today we’re going to understand the sentences in English. like all language, a
sentence must consist of one subject (noun) and one predicate.
In the English language a predicate must consist a verb in it. If there is no verb, we
must make one. What does this mean? Let’s look at the example
The phone rings very loud

The car drives by itself
The children and parents talk about the news
In these examples, the subject directly follows by the predicate which is a verb
My phone is new
The person standing in the room is my friend
Unlike all animal, cockroaches are disgusting
In these example, the predicate is adjective and noun (not verb) so we must put to be
(is and are, depending on the subject) to complete the sentence.
---

Info: WA 08116876996
10
Hi, dalam email hari ini, kita akan membahas tentang kalimat berbahasa Inggris.
Seperti semua bahasa lain, sebuah kalimat harus memiliki subjek dan predikat.
Dalam bahasa Inggris, predikat harus terdapat kata kerja. Jika tidak ada kata kerja,
maka harus di tambahkan to be. Mari liat contoh berikut.
a. The phone rings very loud

b. The car drives by itself
c. The children and parents talk about the news
Pada contoh diatas, subjek nya langsung diikuti oleh predikat, yaitu kata kerja.
d. My phone is new
e. The person standing in the room is my friend
f. Unlike all animal, cockroaches are disgusting
Pada contoh diatas, predikatnya adalah kata sifat dan kata benda, (bukan kata kerja).
Jadi, kita harus menambahkan to be (is dan are, tergantung dengan subjeknya)
----
So, today we learn the function of subject and predicate in the sentence to make
meaning. We must have at least one subject and one predicate, if the predicate is a
noun or an adjective, we must use to be to complete the sentence.
11. Sentence in English (nominal sentence)
There are two types of sentences in English, nominal and verbal. We need to
understand the differences, so we can make a correct and meaningful sentence in
our daily conversation.
Nominal sentence is a sentence that does not need a regular verb as the
predicate, but we use to-be verb. Let’s look at the example.
What makes me happy is you.

The car parked at corner is expensive

Info: WA 08116876996
11
The internet is so slow right now.
We can see from the example above that the to-be is used with the predicate you,
expensive and slow. These word are adjective and noun, that’s why we call this
sentences nominal sentences.
We’ll look at verbal sentences tomorrow.
---
Ada dua bentuk kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris, nominal dan verbal. Kita harus bisa
membedakan keduanya biar bisa membuat kalimat yang benar dan bermakna
Nominal sentence adalah kalimat yang tidak membutuhkan kata kerja

sebagai predikat, tapi menggunakan to be. Perhatikan contoh berikut.
a. What makes me happy is you.

b. The car parked at corner is expensive
c. The internet is so slow right now.
Kita bisa melihat pada kalimat di atas bahwa to be digunakan dengan predikat you,
expensive dan slow.
that’s the lesoon for today. We’ll look at verbal sentences tomorrow.
12. Sentence in English (verbal sentence)
Verbal sentence is a sentence when we used action verbs as the predicate. An action
verb is a verb that requires action. For example, read, look, call. Let’s look at the
example bellow.
Mr. presidents talks with the British prime minister.

Andy likes to cook dinner for her husband
The fire burns all my books.
Important!

Info: WA 08116876996
12
Verbal sentences do not only used for person only (like for the subject who acts an
action), but we can also use action verbs for the subject that is not alive.
---
Verbal sentence adalah kalimat dimana kita menggunakan kata kerja (action verbs)
sebagai predikat. Action verb adalah kata kerja yang menggunakan anggota tubuh.
Contohnya, read, look, call.
a. Mr. presidents talks with the British prime minister.

b. Andy likes to cook dinner for her husband
c. The fire burns all my books.
Penting!
Kalimat vebal tidak selalu digunakan untuk orang saja (seperti subjek yang
melakukan sesuatu), kita juga bisa menggunakan action verb pada subjek yang tidak
hidup.
Alright. That’s the lesson for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.
13. Terms used when learning English grammar
It is important to get accustom to the terms that teachers use when teaching English
grammar. Here, we’re going to look at grammar terms used in this email
subscription. Let’s look at them.
Be verbs – am, is, are, were

Action verbs – run, talk, sing, play, …etc.
Linking verbs – feel, seem, taste, appear, …etc.
Present verbs – sing(s), teach(es), wash(es), try(ies), …etc.
Past verbs – talked, wrote, drank, opened …etc.
Plural verbs – verbs that are used for plural subject
Plural noun – noun that is more than one

Noun – a subject or an object
Countable noun – nouns that can be counted
Uncountable noun – nouns that are not possible to count (water, oil)

Info: WA 08116876996
13
---
Hi, email kali ini, kita akan membahas istilah yang digunakan untuk belajar
grammar bahasa Inggris. Penting diingat karena untuk email selanjutnya, kita akan
menggunakan istilah-istilah ini.
Be verbs – am, is, are, were

Action verbs – run, talk, sing, play, …etc.
Linking verbs – feel, seem, taste, appear, …etc.
Present verbs – sing(s), teach(es), wash(es), try(ies), …etc.
Past verbs – talked, wrote, drank, opened …etc.
Plural verbs – verbs that are used for plural subject
Plural noun – kata benda lebih dari satu

Noun – kata benda (subjek atau objek)
Countable noun – kata benda yang bisa dihitung
Uncountable noun – kata benda yang tidak bisa dihitung (water, oil)
Try to familiarize yourself with the terms. I’ll see you tomorrow for more English
lessons. See you then.
14. Linking verbs
Usually, after a verb, there must be followed by a noun of any form (gerund, object
of preposition, noun phrase, noun clause, adverb). But, after a linking verb, only an
adjective can be used. Let’s look at the example.
She looks beautiful

The food tastes delicious
I feel happy
They are suspicious
As you can see, directly after a verb follows by an adjective.
Here are other linking verbs
To-be taste
Look feel
Seem sound

Info: WA 08116876996
14
You can also say, “I taste the food and it’s awful”, it is a correct sentence because the
verb taste is an action verb (you taste the food with your tongue)
Remember the linking verbs and try to make your own sentence.
---
Biasanya, kata kerja harus di ikuti oleh adverbia dan kata benda dalam semua
bentuknya (gerund, object of preposition, noun phrase, noun clause). Tapi, setelah
linking verb, hanya adjective yang boleh digunakan. Perhatikan contoh berikut.
a. She looks beautiful

b. The food tastes delicious
c. I feel happy
d. They are suspicious
Seperti yang bisa dilihat, setelah kata kerja diikuti oleh kata sifat.
Dibawah ini linking verb lain
To-be taste
Look feel
Seem sound
Kamu bisa bilang, “I taste the food and it’s awful”. kalimat ini benar karena taste
adalah action verb (kamu merasa menggunakan lidah kamu)
Remember the linking verbs and try to make your own sentence. I’ll see you
tomorrow.
15. Subject and verbs agreement
In the English language, the subject of the sentence must agree with the verbs and
vise-versa. This mean that, if the subject is plural (they, we, children), the verb must
be plural verb, too. Look at the example bellow for better understanding.

Info: WA 08116876996
15
- The bird sings
- The birds sing
The bird in the first example is singular because it’s only one bird, we must put an s
at the end of the verb to make it singular verb.
The second example, the birds are many (more than one bird), so we must use plural
verb.
Important!
Have, do, are, were, are used for plural subject
Has, does, is, was, are used for singular subject
Now, make your own sentences with one plural subject and one singular subject
---
Dalam Bahasa Inggris, subjek dan kata kerja harus setara. Artinya, jika subjek nya
jamak (they, we, children), maka kata kerjanya harus jamak juga. Perhatikan contoh
berikut agar bisa membedakan.
- The bird sings

- The birds sing
Bird pada kalimat pertama adalah tunggal, kita harus menambahkan –s pada akhir
kata kerja sing untuk membuat kata kerja tunggal.
Contoh kedua, birds ada banyak (jamak), maka kata kerja jamak yang harus
digunakan.
Penting!
Have, do, are, were, di gunakan untuk subjek jamak
Has, does, is, was, di gunakan untuk subjek tunggal
Now, make your own sentences with one plural subject and one singular subject

Info: WA 08116876996
16
16. Plural noun
Look at the following example
- The teachers are designing lessons

- Boxes for my new books are broken
- Lies are intolerable.
- Children have many fish
We add s at the end of the noun teacher, lesson, book, to make the noun becomes
plural form
We add es at the end of the noun box, lies to make plural form
Children is the plural form of child and the plural form of fish is fish
Children and fish are the irregular plural form, means that we don’t add s or es to
make the noun plural. Go to the link below to know more list for irregular plural
fhv.uniza.sk/kaj/doc/English%20irregular%20plural%2016.%2010.%202015.
pdf
---
Hi, Howdy
Perhatikan contoh berikut ini:
- The teachers are designing lessons

- Boxes for my new books are broken
- Lies are intolerable.
- Children have many fish
Kita menambahkan –s pada kata teacher, lesson, book untuk membuat kata benda
tersebut menjadi jamak (plural)
Tambahkan –es pada kata benda seperti, box, lies dll untuk jamak

Info: WA 08116876996
17
Children jamak dari child dan bentuk jamak dari fish adalah fish.
Kata benda jamak seperti Children dan fish berubah tidak beraturan (irregular).
Artinya kita tidak menambahkan –s atau –es untuk menjadikannya plural. Klik link
berikut untuk melihat kata benda jamak irregular.
that’s for today. I’ll see you tomorrow and don’t forget to check my email.
17. Passive and active sentences
When we look at the subject of a sentence, we can see the difference whether it is
active or passive. Simply put, active sentence is when the subject is doing the action
as in “I turn on the light”. Passive sentence is when the subject is not doing the
action, but affected by the action, as in the “light is turned on by me”.
We need this formula when we want to change the active sentence to passives
S + be + past participle + by + o
Important to remember that not all sentence in English can be changed to passive, it
simply means slightly different.
Active: Doni cooked the cake

Passive: the cake was cooked by Doni
In active sentence, the cake is impressive or delicious
In passive sentence, the cake is bad or over cooked
Try to make you own active sentences and turn it into passive and see whether or
not it makes sense
----

Info: WA 08116876996
18
Jika kita melihat fungsi subjek dalam kalimat, kita bisa melihat perbedaan kalimat
aktif dan pasif. Kalimat aktif jika subjek yang melakukan perkerjaan, seperti “I turn
on the light”. Subjek melakukan perkerjaan turn on.
Kalimat pasif jika subjek tidak melakukan perkerjaan, tapi menerima apa yang
dikerjakan, contohnya, “light is turned on by me”. Subjek light tidak melakukan
perkerjaan turn on.
Untuk mengubah kalimat aktif menjadi passif, gunakan fumus ini.
S + be + past participle + by + o
Penting! Tidak semua kalimat dalam Bahasa Inggris bisa di ubah menjadi kalimat
pasif, karena akan merubah makna.
Active: Doni cooked the cake

Passive: the cake was cooked by Doni
Dalam kalimat aktif, kue nya bagus dan enak.
Dalam kalimat pasif, kue nya tidak enak
Baca lagi contoh kue Doni agar bisa memahami permedaannya.
Yup, that’s for today. Try to make you own active sentences and turn it into passive
and see whether or not it makes sense
18. Not all noun can be the subject of the sentence
First let’s look at the example bellow.
- For you to join us must provide id and cash

- After tired visiting our mother at her house because it’s so far
The first example does not contain a subject. The “for you to joint us” is not a subject
because it precedes by the preposition for. So it can’t be the subject.

Info: WA 08116876996
19
Note! All object of preposition (noun that precedes preposition) can’t be the subject,
so we need to put extra noun to make the sentence complete.
- For you to joint us, you must provide id can cash

- After tired visiting our mother at her house because it’s so far, we rest
---
Hi, apa kabar?
Mari lihat contoh berikut ini:
a. For you to join us must provide id and cash

b. After tired visiting our mother at her house because it’s so far
Kalimat (a) tidak memiliki subjek. “you to joint us” bukan subjek karena di
dahului oleh preposisi for. Jadi, you tidak bisa jadi subjek. Kalimat (b) juga
tidak memiliki subjek dan kata kerja.
Note! Semua objek preposisi (kata benda yang didahului oleh preposisi) tidak
bisa menjadi subjek, kita harus menambahkan kata benda lain agar kalimat
menjadi lengkap.
c. For you to joint us, you must provide id can cash

d. After tired visiting our mother at her house because it’s so far, we rest
So, remember that a complete sentence must at least have one subject and one
verb. Check my email tomorrow for more English lesson. See you.
19. Preposition of time
Preposition of time allows you to state time for specific or general idea of
time. When you want to tell time, you probably need a preposition of time (in,
on, at) to make other people understand of what you’re saying.
In - is used to say, in winter, in July, in 2018, in the past, in the future, in the
morning, in the afternoon
On – on Monday, on weekend, on independent day, on new year eve.
At – at 10 o’clock, at night, at noon.
Be sure to always say

I was born on September 9th, 1998
I was born in 1998

Info: WA 08116876996
20
---
Preposisi waktu memberikan gambaran spesifik untuk mengungkapkan

waktu. Jika kamu ingin mengatakan waktu, kamu butuh preposisi waktu (in,
on, at) untuk membuat orang lain mengerti apa yang kamu maksud.
In - digunakan untuk, in winter, in July, in 2018, in the past, in the future, in the
morning, in the afternoon
On – on Monday, on weekend, on independent day, on new year eve.

Ingat! In, on dan at digunakan untuk mengekspresikan waktu. Cek email

saya besok untuk pembelajaran tentang in, on dan at untuk mengekspresikan
tempat. See you tomorrow.
20. Preposition of place

22. Yes/no questions with Be
There are sometimes moments where you want to ask questions about
someone or something. To do that, you need to understand how to ask using
Be
Is Susan a doctor?
Are they your friends?
Am I old enough to go to school?
Look again to the example above. Remember that in a question, be comes in

front of the subject. Susan, they and I are subject.
---
Jika ingin bertanya tentang orang atau sesuatu, kita harus mengerti bertanya
dengan menggunakan be.
a. Is Susan a doctor?
b. Are they your friends?
c. Am I old enough to go to school?
Perhatikan kembali contoh di atas. Ingat, dalam kalimat Tanya, be datang

sebelum subjek. Susan, they dan I adalah subjek.
Try to ask question about your phone. I’ll see you tomorrow for more lesson.
23. Question with Be + WH words
What, where, when, why, who and how are called question words

25. Using have and has with past participle

Info: WA 08116876996
25
When we use have or has plus past participle, we want to state present perfect
or past perfect. We use have and has for something that we have finished.
Let’s look at the example below.
a. I have written a new book

b. She has completed her homework
c. The president and his vice have visited japan
Written, completed and visited are past participle. We add ed at the end of a
verb (complete, visit) to make it past participle verb.
Written is irregular verb, means that we don’t add ed. We will look at most
common irregular verb next time.
Remember that have and has are used depends on the subject, whether it’s
plural or singular
That, all for today. Check my email tomorrow at the same time for more
English on the go lesson.

memberi efek pada masa sekarang. Perhatikan contoh berikut.
a. I have written a new book

b. She has completed her homework
c. The president and his vice have visited japan
Written, completed dan visited adalah past participle. –ed ditambahkan di akhir
kata kerja (complete, visit) untuk membuat past participle. Written adalah
kata kerja yang berubah tidak beraturan, artinya, kita tidak menambahkan –
ed.
Ingat have dan has digunakan tergantung pada subjeknya, jamak atau tunggal.
That, all for today. Check my email tomorrow at the same time for more
English on the go lesson.
26. Using adjectives and noun

Info: WA 08116876996
26
It is sometimes necessary to give a noun adjective(s) to imply more meaning
for the noun. To do that, it’s very simple. We only add the adjectives before
the noun.
Say, you have a phone.

a. I have a phone.
And your phone is new
b. I have a new phone.
You can add multiple adjectives before the noun.
c. I have a new black phone

d. I have a new thin black phone
e. I have a new thin black Chinese phone
To order which adjective comes first is very personal. You can arrange it
whoever possible. But there are traditional rules
Number Opinion Size Age Shape Color Nationality Purpose noun
Strong Small New White Sport shoes

Three Beautiful Young Italian Girls
Phone
Son
Add adjectives for the noun phone and car.
That’s it for today. See you next time.
----
Adjective (kata sifat) berguna untuk memberi makna tambahan kepada kata
benda. Caranya, hanya dengan menambahkan kata sifat sebelum kata benda
Jika kamu punya hp.

d. I have a phone.

e. I have a new phone.
Kamu bisa tambahkan beberapa kata sifat untuk hp kamu.
f. I have a new black phone

g. I have a new thin black phone

phone and car.
See you next time.
27. Adverbs and adjectives
Let’s look at the examples bellow first
a. A very slow internet connection

b. A beautifully designed computer screen
c. A well dressed girl
As we know, adjectives words that describe nouns. Adverb, then, describe

adjectives.
In the examples above, the noun internet connection is described by the

adjective slow. Then, slow is described by the adverb very.
Look at the second and third example. Can you see the noun, adjective and
the adverb? Are they in the order of adv + adj + noun?
Now let’s try with your own examples.
I leave you to it for now. I’ll see you tomorrow for the next lesson.
-----
Mari perhatikan contoh berikut:
a. A very slow internet connection

b. A beautifully designed computer screen
c. A well-dressed girl
Seperti yang kita tahu, kita sifat menerangkan kata benda. Adverb
menerangkan adjective (kata sifat)
Pada contoh di atas, kata benda internet connection dijelaskan leh adjective
slow. Adjective slow diterangkan oleh adverb very.
Perhatikan contoh kedua. Lihat noun, adjective dan adverb nya. Apakah
urutannya sudah benar seperti adv + adj + noun?

Info: WA 08116876996
28
Sekarang coba buat kalimat sendiri.
I leave you to it for now. I’ll see you tomorrow for the next lesson.
28. How to use very and too
You have probably heard people say “it’s too fast”. And you’ve probably
heard people say “it’s very fast”. Do they have the same meaning?
Too is used for something negative. But, very is used to say something
positive. So, you would say:
the bus driver drives too fast (means you don’t like it. The driver scares you)
the bus driver drives very fast (means you like it because the driver gets you
to your destination in time).
So, next time you’re confuse whether to use too or very, remember that too is
for negative and very is for positive.
This’s all for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.

----
Kamu mungkin sering mendengar orang bilang “it’s too fast”. Dan kamu juga
pernah mendengar orang bilang “it’s very fast”. Keduanya diterjemahkan
sangat. Apakah keduanya bermakna sama?
Too digunakan untuk (bermakna) negative. Very untuk (bermakna) positivis.

Jadi, kamu bilang:
a. the bus driver drives too fast (kamu tidak suka. Pengemudi ugal-ugalan)
b. the bus driver drives very fast (kamu suka. Mungkin karena kamu buru
ingin ke suatu tempat).
Ingat! Jika kamu bingung apa menggunakan too atau very, ingat too untuk
negatif dan very untuk positif.
This’s all for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.

present verbs. Today, we’re going to see how to use adv. of frequency with
be.

32. How to spell and pronounce verbs with final –es
When the subject is she, he or it, we need to add s at the end of the verb. As in
“she stops by my house this morning”.
However, some present verbs sometimes come with final –es. Let’s look why
some verbs use final –es.
a. Push – pushes / pushez

b. Teach – teaches /tichez
c. Kiss – kisses / kisses
d. Fix – fixes / fiksiz
e. Cry – cries / kraiz
f. Try – tries /traiz
Note:
g. we add es for verb ending with -sh, -ch, -ss, -x.

h. we change y into i and add es for verbs end with y.
Its pronounced “es”
Important!
The verb pay or enjoy does not follow the same rule like cry and try. We need
to add final –s because before y is a vowel.
Quiz. Think of other verb that ends with vowel + y

That’s about it for today. we will look for more lesson tomorrow.
----
Subjek she, he atau it, tambahkan –s pada ujung kata kerja, seperti dalam
contoh “she stops by my house this morning”.
Namun, ada beberapa kata kerja ditambahkan –es. Perhatikan cara
penambahan akhiran –es.
a. Push – pushes / pushez

b. Teach – teaches /tichez
c. Kiss – kisses / kisses
d. Fix – fixes / fiksiz
e. Cry – cries / kraiz
f. Try – tries /traiz

Info: WA 08116876996
33
Note:
- Tambahkan -es untuk kata kerja berakhiran -sh, -ch, -ss, -x.
- Ganti y menjadi i dan tambahkan –es untuk kata kerja berakhiran -y
penting!
Kata kerja pay atau enjoy, dll. tidak mengikuti aturan yang sama seperti cry
dan try. Akhiran –s dibutuhkan karena sebelum y adalah huruf vokal.
That’s about it for today. we will look for more lesson tomorrow.
33. understand how to use present progressive
in English, when we want to say about what we are currently doing right
now, we use be + verb –ing. Let’s look at examples bellow for details.
a. Right now I am reading this text.

b. She is talking with me right now.
c. They are singing a song.
d. You’re being silly.
Remember that we always use be to say present progressive. And also

remember to use the correct be for the subject.
----
Ketika kita mengatakan sesuatu yang sedang terjadi/dilakukan, kita

menggunakan be + verb –ing. Lihat kembali contoh diatas. Penting diingat
be yang benar selalu mengikuti subject nya.
I = am
She, he, it = am
You, they, we = are
That’s the lesson for today, I’ll see you tomorrow.
34. Understanding how to use past progressive
Past progressive is used to say about events or activities that happened in the
past when you were doing something else.
Misalnya, ketika kamu sedang menelpon kawan pada masa lampau, dan
diwaktu yang sama, ibu kamu memanggil.

Info: WA 08116876996
34
So, we say in English
a. My mother called me when i was calling my friend on the phone.
Other example:
b. I was taking bath when Susan rang the bell

c. When the phone rang, I was having my lunch.
d. They were watching the movie while i was cleaning the room.
Remember, you can’t mix the sentence (past tense always with past tense).
Important to note that past progressive tense tends to require two activities
(taking bath and the bell rang). But, you can also say just one action (I was
eating).
Think about what did you do early this morning, and make a sentence out of
it. I’ll see you tomorrow.
----
Past progressive digunakan untuk menggambarkan aktifitas yang terjadi di

masa lampau ketika kejadian lain sedang dilakukan dimasa lampau juga,
(dua kejadia)
Misalnya, ketika kamu sedang menelpon kawan pada masa lampau, dan
diwaktu yang sama, ibu kamu memanggil.
Contoh lain
a. My mother called me when i was calling my friend on the phone.
b. I was taking bath when Susan rang the bell
c. When the phone rang, I was having my lunch.
d. They were watching the movie while i was cleaning the room.
Ingat! Kamu tidak bisa mencampur past tense dan present tense dalam satu
kalimat (kecuali ada faktor yang memungkinkan).
Umumnya, past progressive biasanya membutuhkan 2 aktifitas (taking bath

dan the bell rang). Namum bisa juga dengan 1 kegiatan (I was eating).
Ok! Think about what did you do early this morning, and make a sentence
out of it. I’ll see you tomorrow.
35. Not all verbs can be used in progressive tenses

Info: WA 08116876996
35
To review, progressive tenses are used to say about something that currently
happening (in the past, present or future). Like “I'm cooking diner now” or “I
was cooking diner when you called”.
But, some verbs are not possible to use in progressive tense. because they are
non-action verbs. So, what are they? Let’s take a look.
Hate, like, love, prefer, want

Appear, seem, sound, tense
Agree, deny, believe, know, realize, understand.
Belong, concern, need, possess.
you can't say:

a. I'm hating you for what you've done.
b. It is seeming good
c. She is understanding the lessons.
Note that these words are the most common mistakes
That’s it for today. I’ll see you, tomorrow.

-----
progressive tenses digunakan saat mengatakan sesuatu yang sedang terjadi
(in the past, present or future). seperti “I'm cooking diner now” atau “I was
cooking diner when you called”.
Tapi, ada beberapa kata kerja yang tidak bisa digunakan dalam tenses
progressive. Hanya active verbs yang bisa digunakan dengan progressive. Jadi,
apa saja non-active verbs?
Hate, like, love, prefer, want

Appear, seem, sound, tense
Agree, deny, believe, know, realize, understand.
Belong, concern, need, possess.
Kamu tidak bisa bilang:

a. I'm hating you for what you've done.
b. It is seeming good
c. She is understanding the lessons.
That’s it for today. I’ll see you, tomorrow.
36. See, look at, watch,

Info: WA 08116876996
36
Lets’ first look at examples bellow:
a. I see many books in the bookstore
b. She’s looking at the book. She probably will buy it.
c. Andy is watching the football match.
See is nonaction verb. Seeing happens because my eyes open. It’s a physical
reaction and not a planned action.
Look at is an action verb. Looking is a planned and purposeful action.

Looking happens for a reason.
Watch is an action verb. I watch something for a long time, but I look at
something for a short time.
--
Mari bedakan see, look at, watch, hear dan listen to.
See digunakan ketika mata terbuka. Kita menggunakan see karena hal
spontan. Tidak seperti see, look at digunakan karena rencana dan tujuan.
Contohnya “She’s looking at the book. She probably will buy it”. Look at
digunakan dengan memperhatikan buku yang akan dia beli dengan detail.
Look at itu melihat dengan teliti tapi sebentar. Watch melihat lebih lama.
Seperti “watching football”
One last note, nonaction verbs can't be used in progressive. But action verbs
can. Instead of saying “I'm seeing what you’re doing” say “I see what you’re
doing”
37. hear and listen to
lets look at examples first
a. My neighbor plays music so loudly; I can hear it from outside the room
b. I'm listening to music because I like to listen to music.
Hear is a noncation verb. Hearing is unplanned and it expresses physical

reaction
Listen to is an action verb. Listening happens for a reason and purpose.
--
Hear digunakan ketika mendengar namun tidak memperhatikan. Listen to
digunakan mendengar dengan memperhatikan apa yang dibilang.

Info: WA 08116876996
37
Perhatikan contoh berikut ini:
a. I can’t hear you if you stand too far from me

b. I can’t listen to you, my mom says you’re a bad influence.
So, can you see the difference? I’ll come back tomorrow for more lesson. See
you.
38. How to use think about and think that
I think that think about and think that are different. Yes, they are.
Think about is use to state ideas in our heads, as in

a. I think about my college tuition right now
b. I'm thinking about grammar exams
The two examples imply the ideas about college tuition and grammar exams
in my mind.
Think that is used to say opinion or beliefs, as in.
a. I think that your phone is too expensive.

b. Susan thinks that you’re in to her
c. Don’t you think that the weather is nice today?
Also remember that you can't say thinking that, but you should say “thinking
about”
--
Think about digunakan untuk mengungkapkan apa yang kita kita pikirkan.
Think that digunakan untuk mengungkapkan opini atau sesuatu yang kita
yakini. Perhatikan kembali contoh diatas.
a. I think about my college tuition right now

b. I think that your phone is too expensive.
Kita tidak bisa mengatakan “I think that my college tuition right now”
Perlu diingat, kita tidak bisa menggunakan kalimat “I’m thinking that your
phone is too expensive”.
Yup, that’s it for today, I’ll see you next time.
39. How to use would like
Compare the following examples

a. I'm thirsty. I want a glass of water

Info: WA 08116876996
38
b. I'm thirsty. I would like a glass of water.
The examples imply the same meaning (requesting a glass of water), but
would like implies polite request. I would like is the nice way of saying I
want.
would like can be used for all subjects and does not change the verb
a. She would like d. They would like

b. He would like e. You would like
c. I would like f. We would like
c. Remember she and he do not change the verb like into likes. It stays like.
--
Kata want dan would like memiliki arti yg sama. Namun penggunaanya
berbeda. Would like digunakan lebih sopan dari pada want. Perhatikan
kembali contoh yang di atas.
Penting, kata like pada she would like dan he would like tidak berubah
menjadi likes.
That’s for today, I’ll see you next time.
40. Would like + infinitive
The previous email, we talk about would like. Today we’re going to look at
how would like + infinitive is used. Let’s get on to in
a. Your dad would like to have a conversation with you.

b. The teacher would like you to come to her office.
You can't construct the pronoun with would like. Look at how it’s
pronounced below.
c. I’d like (aid like) f. They’d like (theyd like)
d. She’d like (shed like) g. You’d likey (youd like)
e. He’d like (hed like) h. We’d like (wed like)
---
Pada email sebelumnya, kita membahas penggunaan would like. Hari ini kita
akan melihat bagaimana penggunaan would like + infinitive (to infinitive).
Perhatikan kembali contoh diatas

Info: WA 08116876996
39
a. Your dad would like to have a conversation with you.
b. The teacher would like you to come to her office.
To infinitive langsung ditambahkan setelah kata would like.
Yup, that’s the lesson for today. Check out for tomorrow lesson. Stay tuned
41. Would like vs like
Let’s look at the following examples

a. I would like to hang out with you
b. I like to hang out with you
In English, I would like indicates that I want to do something now or in the

future.
I Like means that I enjoy to hang out with you. Like indicates that I always
enjoy something.
--
Would like dalam bahasa Inggris digunakan untuk ingin melakukan sesuatu
pada masa sekarang atau masa depan. Like digunakan untuk mengatakan
kesenangan akan sesuatu.
Mari lihat kembali contoh berikut:
a. I would like to hang out with you

b. I like to hang out with you
I would like to hang out berarti saya ingin ngopi bareng kalian
I like to hang out berarti saya senang ngopi bareng kalian
Thats enough lesson for today. Practice more with Would like vs like. Try to
say other verbs and other pronoun. Good luck. I’ll see you tomorrow
42. Count and noncount nouns
Non count noun is nouns that can't be counted and they do not have plural
from, which means, non-count noun always come in singular form
Count noun is a noun that can be counted and we add final –s at the end of
the noun. Let’s look at the example bellow.

Info: WA 08116876996
40
a. I have one book
b. I have two books
c. She has a phone

d. She has a lot of phones
The following words make count noun plural:
e. Two i. A lot of
f. Many j. Several
g. Few k. A number of
h. Some
--
Dalam bahasa Inggris, ada kata benda yang dapat dihitung (count noun) dan
ada yang tidak bisa dihitung (non-count noun). Non count noun tidak
memiliki bentuk plural (jamak) dan ia selalu diganakan dalam bentuk
singular (tunggal). Count noun memiliki bentuk jamak dan ditambahkan –s
pada akhir kata. Perhatikan contoh di atas sekali lagi.
a. I have one book

b. I have two books
c. She has a phone

d. She has a lot of phones
Perhatikan bagaimana “dua buku” dan “banyak buku” ditulis dalam bahasa
Inggris. Keduanya ditambahkan –s karena memiliki makna banyak, lebih dari
satu.
Yup, thats for today. Make sure you check out my other email tomorrow. See
you then.
43. Using an vs a
An and a are used in front of singular count noun. As in:

a. a guitar
b. an animal
we use an in front of words that begin with the vowels a, e, i, o. as in:

Info: WA 08116876996
41
c. you should bring an apple
d. I have an old guitar
Notice that an is used because the word after it is a vowel, (not necessarily
because of the noun)
Now pay close attention to the following nouns:
e. An uncle (an is used because uncle is pronounced with a, vowel)

f. A university (because it’s pronounced with y, consonant)
g. An honor (because it’s pronounced with o, vowel)
h. A horse (because it’s pronounced with h, consonant)
--
Dalam bahasa Inggris, sebelum kata benda tunggal selalu diberi partikel a
atau an. Partikel a digunakan pada kata yang berawalan dengan bunyi
konsonan (k, m, b dll). Partikel an digunakan pada kata benda yang
berawalan bunyi vocal (a, i, e, o). Seperti pada contoh dibawah:
a. a guitar c. you should bring an apple
b. an animal d. I have an old guitar
Perlu diperhatikan ada beberapa kata seperti univestiy dan honor. Kata
tersebut menggunakan partikel yg berbeda yaitu “a univesity” dan “an
honor” karena berbunyi y (konsonan) dan o (vokal).
Alright, that’s about it for today. Make sure to practice and make your own
sentences. I’ll see you tomorrow.
44. Measurements with non-count nouns
Let’s look at the examples bellow first.
a. I’d like to have some water

b. Can I have a glass of water
c. Would you like a cup of coffee?
Units of measure are used with non-count nouns to express a specific

quantity. For example, a glass of, a cup of, a piece of.
Below are common expressions of measure
d. A bag of rice h. A box of candy

e. A bar of soap i. A jar of pickles
f. A bottle of olive oil j. A piece of cheese
g. A bowl of cereal k. A sheet of paper

Dalam bahasa Inggris, non-count noun tidak bisa dihitung tapi bisa bisa
dihitung dengan expression of measurement, a glass of, a bag of, a cup of dll.
Gula tidak bisa dihitung, tapi satu sendok gula bisa dihitung, a spoon of
sugar.
Hmhm, I think that is enough for today. don’t want to drown you, just yet. :D
I’ll see you tomorrow.
45. Using many, much, a few a little
I hope you still remember about count and non-count nouns. Today we’re
going to look deeper about it.
First let’s look at some examples.
a. I don’t get many phones

I don’t get much money
b. She gets a few phones
She gets a little money
Look again to the examples above.
c. Many is use with plural count nouns

d. Much is used with non-count nouns
e. A few is used with plural count nouns
f. A little is used with non-count nouns
---
Yang perlu diingat pada email kali ini hanya tentang penggunaan:
g. Many - untuk kata benda jamak yang bisa dihitung

h. Much – untuk kata benda yang tidak bisa dihitung
i. A few - untuk kata benda jamak yang bisa dihitung
j. A little - untuk kata benda yang tidak bisa dihitung
Yup, not much for today. I’ll catch up with you tomorrow. See you!
46. Using the
Let’s first look at examples bellow

a. Where’s Rudi
b. He’s in the kitchen

43
360 emails
a. The speaker uses the when the listener and the speaker have the same idea
about something or someone. The shows that a noun is specific.
b.
We use the when something or someone is the only one in the world.
c. The sky is blue

d. Oh, the sun is so hot today.
The is used with singular noun, plural noun and non-count noun.
Notice in the examples, the speaker is using the for the second mention of a
noun. When the speaker mentions a noun for a second tine, both the speaker
and listener are now thinking about the same thing.
e. I like have a phone and several books. The phone is Lenovo and the book
are non-fiction.
--
Kita menggunakan the ketika dua orang memiliki pemahaman yang sama
tentang sesuatu atau seseorang. The digunakan untuk kata benda yang
spesifik, yang terterntu.
The juga digunakan pada kata benda yang hanya ada satu-satunya di dunia.
Seperti pada contoh diatas, the sky dan the sun.
Ok, that’s the lesson about how to use the. Make sure to understand what
specific means. I’ll see you tomorrow.
47. Using no article.
Remember! A noun needs an article. But, some are replaced by other

quantifier. And sometimes, a noun doesn’t need an article, because we want
to make generalizations. So, no article means noun that doesn’t need an
article.
Compare the following examples.

a. The apples that your brought home are rotten
b. Apples are good for you
c. Students use pens and pencil in the class
d. I like to listen to music
In example a, the specific apples that he brought home. While example b
refers to all kind of apple. Example c refers to all students in general, students
in Indonesia and all over the world uses pen and pencil. Music in example d
is non-count noun and it refers to all kind of music.

Compare the following examples
f. I really enjoy music. It relaxes me

g. We went to a concert last night. The music was very good.
--
Kata benda dalam bahasa Inggris terkadang tidak menggunakan partikel

untuk membuat kata benda tersebut bermakna secara umum.
Perhatikan kembali contoh berikut ini
a. The apples that your brought home are rotten

b. Apples are good for you
c. Students use pens and pencil in the class
d. I like to listen to music
Kalimat a menggunaka the apples karena apples nya specifi sedangkan pada
kalimat b apples secara umum (semua jenis, yang ada dimana saja) baik
untuk kamu. Kalimat c pensil dan bolpen secara umum digunakan oleh
semua siswa. Dan pada kalimat d, dia suka mendengar semua jenis musik
Bandingkan 2 contoh dibawah ini.
h. I really enjoy music. It relaxes me

i. We went to a concert last night. The music was very good.
Kamu bisa melihat perbedaannya?
Alright then. I’ll leave you to the no article :D
I’ll see you tomorrow for more English lessons
48. Using some and any
Some and any are used for plural nouns. It also can be used for non-count
noun.
Some is used in affirmative statements, as in
a. Alisia has some money
b. Bang Dodi needs some money
Any is use in negative statements, as in.
c. Alisia doesn’t need any money

d. Alisia doesn’t have any money
We use both some and any in a question

Info: WA 08116876996
45

e. Does Alisia need any money?

f. Does Alisia have some money?
---
Some dan any digunakan pada kata benda yang dapat dihitung dan juga
yang tidak bisa dihitung.
Some digunakan untuk kalimat positif sedangkan any untuk kalimat

negative. Kita bisa gunakan some dan any untuk kalimat pertanyaan.
And that’s it for today. check my email tomorrow. I’ll see you then
49. Using Be with past tense
We use past tense to say something that happens in the past. Let’s look at the
examples bellow to understand present and past tenses
b. I'm in the class today
c. She is in the store right now
d. My phone is at his house
e. I was in the class yesterday

f. She was in the store yesterday
g. My phone was at his house last night
Simple past tense of Be is was and were. We use was for singular and were for
plural.
I, she, he, it = was
We, you, they = were
--
Past tense (masa lampu) digunakan untuk membicarakan kejadian yang telah
siap (telah terjadi) pada masa lampau. Mari lihat kembali contoh di atas
untuk membedakan present tense dan past tense.
a. I'm in the class today

b. She is in the store right now
c. My phone is at his house
d. I was in the class yesterday

e. She was in the store yesterday
f. My phone was at his house last night

Past tense untuk Be adalah was dan were. Was digunakan untuk subjek
tunggal dan were untuk subjek jamak.
I, she, he, it = was
We, you, they = were
Hmhm, that about it for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.
50. Using be with past tense: negative sentences
As we discussed in the previous email that there are only two past bees: was
and were. To use past be with negative sentences, we only need to add not
after the be. Let’s look at example below.
a. I was not in the class yesterday

b. I wasn’t in the class yesterday
c. We were not at home last night

d. We weren’t at home last night
Remember, was not and wasn’t have the same meaning. And so do were not
and weren’t
Important to note:
Present Past
Today Yesterday
This morning Yesterday morning
This afternoon Yesterday afternoon
Tonight Last night
This week Last week
--
Pada email sebelum nya kita telah membahas was dan were. Kali ini kita akan
melimat penggunaan was dan were dalam bentuk kalimat negatif. Untuk
membuat kalimat negatif menggunakan was dan were, kita hanya perlu
menambahkan not setelah was dan were. Lihat contoh berikut ini.
e. I was not in the class yesterday

f. I wasn’t in the class yesterday
g. We were not at home last night

h. We weren’t at home last night

Info: WA 08116876996

Ingat! Was not, were not dan wasn’t, weren’t memiliki arti yang sama.
51. How to ask questions Using past of be
When we want to ask about someone (or the subject), we use be in front of the subject.
Let’s look at examples below for clearer picture of it
- Were you at home last night? Answer – yes, I was / no, I wasn’t
- Was Andy in the class yesterday? Answer – yes, he was / no, he wasn’t
When we ask information about someone (the subject), we use the question words.
- Where were you last night? Answer – at home

- Where was Andy yesterday? Answer - in the class
Note: some people answer questions with short answers, like “yes, I was” or “at home”.
You can answer with long answers, yes, I was in the class or I was at home.
--
Ketika kita ingin bertanya tentang seseorang (subjek kalimat), kita menggunakan be di
sebelum subjek. Mari lihat kembali contoh diatas.
- Were you at home last night? Answer – yes, I was / no, I wasn’t
- Was Andy in the class yesterday? Answer – yes, he was / no, he wasn’t
Jika kita bertanya informasi tentang seseorang (subjek kalimat), kita menggunakan
kalimat tanya. Perhatikan penempatan kata tanya pada kalimat berikut.
- Where were you last night? Answer – at home

- Where was Andy yesterday? Answer - in the class
Well, this’s about it for today. we’ll catch up more lesson tomorrow. don’t forget to ask
by replying the email.
52. Simple past tense – using –ed
Hi, today we’re going to understand how to say past tense activities. first, let’s compare
present and past tenses.
- I walk to work every day
- I walked to work yesterday
- She calls her mom every night

- She called her mom last night
As you can see, verb –ed tell you that the event happens in the past (the event happened
yesterday and last night). In English we add –ed for most verbs to refer to past events.
Note: we use past tense with –ed for all subjects (I, you, they, we, she, he, it).

Info: WA 08116876996

--
Kali ini kita akan melihat penggunaan past tense (masa lampau). Bandingkan dulu
present tense (masa sekarang) dan past tense (masa lampau) pada kalimat berikut ini.
- I walk to work every day

- I walked to work yesterday
- She calls her mom every night

- She called her mom last night
Seperti yang kita lihat, kata kerja + –ed memberi makna lampau (baik ada keterang
waktu atau tidak). Dalam bahasa Inggris, kita menambahkan akhiran –ed pada sebagian
besar kata kerja.
Cotatan: kita menggunakan kata kerja lampau (yang berakhiran –ed) untuk semua
subjek (I, you, they, we, she, he, it).
Think about what you did last night and make a sentence out of it. I’ll see you tomorrow.
53. Past tense practice – making past tense verbs
As we all know, we add –ed to make past tense verb. But, some verbs need extra care to
make them past verbs. let’s look the rules to change verbs from present to past
- Just add –ed (call, open, walk, talk)

- Double the final consonant and add –ed (drop, stop, hop)
- Drop the final e and add –ed (like)
- Change the y to I and add –ed (cry, carry, worry, marry, pay)
- Change the spelling (take – took, bring – brought, write –wrote)
Remember some verbs change irregularly, so you need to pay more attention to these
verbs. Below are the most common irregular verbs.
beat beat beaten choose chose chosen
begin began begun come came come
bet* bet bet cost cost cost
blow blew blown cut cut cut
break broke broken deal dealt dealt
build built built do did done
burst burst burst draw drew drawn
buy bought bought drink drank drunk
catch caught caught drive drove driven

eat ate eaten fall fell fallen
--
yes, kita menambahkan –ed pada akhiran kata kerja dalam bahasa Inggris. Tapi, ada
beberapa kata kerja memerlukan perhatian lebih untuk merubahnya menjadi kata kerja
masa lampau. Mari lihat aturan cara merubah kata kerja present menjadi past.
- Hanya tambahkan –ed (call, open, walk, talk)

- Tambah konsonan akhir dan tembahkan –ed (drop, stop, hop)
- Buang akhiran e dan tambahkan –ed (like)
- Ganti y menjadi i dan tambahkan –ed (cry, carry, worry, marry, pay)
- Ganti ejaannya (take – took, bring – brought, write –wrote)
Penting! Ada sebagian kata kerja berubah ke bentuk lampu secara acak (tidak mengikuti
aturan dengan menambahkan –ed). Diatas ada kata kerja yang berubah secara acak.
So, look again to the irregular verbs and find the meaning of the words you don’t
understand. I’ll see you tomorrow.
54. Past verb pronunciation practice.
Hi, quick question. How to pronounce the word, liked, watched, dreamed?
Here’s how.
Group A – final –ed is pronounced /t/ if the verb end in a voiceless sound

(masa lampau) saja. Tidak bisa digunakan pada masa sekarang atau masa akan datang.
- Yesterday digunakan dengan (morning, afternoon, evening)

- Last digunakan dengan night, waktu yang panjang (week, year, month). Last juga
digunakan dengan nama musim (summer, falls), past events (ramadhan, semester)
- Ago artinya “pada masa lampau”. Ago selalu di ikuti dengan waktu yang spesifik
(two minutes, five years).
- A
Thats about it. I’ll see you tomorrow.
56. Negative simple past
Sometimes, when you’re accused of something you didn’t do, you deny it. So how to
deny it? Here’s how.
I did not still your car

Subject did not base verb statement
Incorrect to say - she did not walks to school yesterday

- she did not walked to school yesterday
Remember! You can construct did not to didn’t.
Important! Always used did not with main verb. You can’t use did not with be.
Incorrect to say - Susan didn’t be here last night

You should say - Susan wasn’t here last night
---
Ketika kamu dituduh melakukan sesuatu yang tidak pernah kamu lakukan, kamu pasti
menyangkalnya. Bagaimana cara menyangkalnya dalam bahasa Inggris? Kita
menggunakan did not
Penting! Did not tidak bisa digunakan dengan be. Did not selalu digunakan
dengan kata kerja
That’s it the lesson on how to use did not in English. Check my email tomorrow at the
same time. Practice more and best of luck.
57. Asking question with past tense
To ask question about past events, we put did in front of the subject.

Info: WA 08116876996
52
360 emails
- Did you still my wallet?

- Did she bring the book?
- Did Andy bring the book?
Remember! whenever we use did or did not, we always use base verb (not brings or
brought).
---
Untuk bertanya tentang kejadian masa lampau dalam bahasa Inggris, kita meletakkan
did sebelum subjek. Perhatikan kembali contoh diatas.
Penting! Kapanpun kita menggunakan did atau did not, kita selalu menggunakan kata
kerja dasar (bukan brings atau brought)
Hmhm, I leave you to make your own sentences. I’ll see you tomorrow.
58. Asking questions with question words + helping verbs
If you expect a short answer, you can ask question with did. We discussed this
yesterday. Now we’re going to look at how asking question if you don’t know what the
object is.
Let’s look at examples below
- What did she cook?

- What is Andy holding?
- Who did she call?
- Who is she talking to?
Remember the rule!
Question word helping verb subject base verb

What did she cook
Who did she call
---
Jika kamu hanya ingin jawaban singkat, kamu bisa bertanya dengan menggunakan did
saja. Kita telah membahas tentang ini kemaren. Hari ini kita akan melihat cara bertanya
jika kamu tidak tahu objeknya.
Perhatikan kembali contoh yang ada di atas.
Ingat susunan cara bertanya dengan kata-kata pertanyaan.

Question word helping verb subject base verb

What did she cook
Who did she call
Remember the rule and make sure you can differentiate between “did she call you” and
“who did she call”. That’s about it. I’ll see you tomorrow.
59. Using before and after in time clause.
Today, we’re going to look at clauses. But first, let’s take a look at some terms
Clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb.

Main clause is a complete sentence
Time clauses can begin with before or after
Now, let’s look at examples.
I ate breakfast = a main clause

Before I went to the class = time clause
I ate breakfast before I went to the class

Main clause time clause
Before I went to the class, I ate breakfast

Time clause main clause
Note! Can you understand the meaning if you only say the time clause?
Now let’s see how to use after
After we finished our work, we went shopping

Time clause main clause
Remember! - you can put time clause before the main clause or after it.
- if you put the time clause before the main clause you need to use
coma (,)
Important! After and before don’t always come with time clause. They can be used as
preposition, as in.
- We went shopping after the working
- I ate breakfast before the class.
- S

60. Using when in time clauses.
Let’s look at examples below first.
a. When the rain stopped, we continued driving.

b. We continued driving when the rain stopped.
c. When Agus was a child, he lived with his aunt.

d. Agus lived with his aunt when he was a child.
When can be used before a time clause. When + s + v is time clause.
Notice that the noun Agus come before the pronoun he
Remember! When is also used to ask questions. A question is a complete sentence but
time clause is not a complete sentence. Let’s compare time clause and question.
- When did the rain stop? it’s a complete sentence

- When the rain stopped it’s not a complete sentence. We can't understand it.
---
Menggunakan when pada klause waktu.
Perhatikan sekali lagi kalimat berikut ini.
a. When the rain stopped, we continued driving.

b. We continued driving when the rain stopped.
c. When Agus was a child, he lived with his aunt.

d. Agus lived with his aunt when he was a child.
When bisa digunakan sebelum klausa waktu. Formulanya when + s + v
Perharikan bagaimana kata benda Agus datang sebelum kata ganti he
Ingat! When bisa juga digunakan untuk bertanya tentang waktu. Pertanyaan adalah
kalimat lengkap tapi klausa waktu bukan kalimat lengkap. Meri bedakan klausa waktu
dan kalimat pertanyaa.
- When did the rain stop? memiliki makna yang bisa respon
- When the rain stopped, tidak memiliki makna

Hey, today we’re going to look at the present and past progressive tenses
to make things clear, progressive is other term for continues.
Present progressive (in progress right now). It describes an activity in progress right now
, at the moment of speaking, as in.
- It’s 10:00 now. Susan is reading a book
Past progressive (in progress yesterday). It describes an activity in the progress at a

particular time in the past, as in.
- It was 10:00. Susan was reading a book.
Remember that the be should always agree with the subject. In present progressive If the
subject is singular use is or am. If the subject is plural, use are. And for the past
progressive use was or were.
--
Present progressive (yang dalam proses saat ini). Digunakan untuk aktivitas yang
sadang terjadi pada saat ini, pada waktu berbicara.
- Susan is reading a book. (saat ini susan sedang membaca buku)
Past progressive (yang dalam proses pada masa lampau). Digunakan untuk aktifitas
yang yang sedang terjadi pada waktu tertentu di masa lampau.
- It was 10:00. Susan was reading a book (pada jam 10:00 tadi, susan sedang membaca
buku)
Penting, perhatikan Subjek (susan) dan be nya (is) kemudian diikuti dengan verb –ing
(reading).
Ingat! Be harus selalu mengikuti subjek nya. Jika subjek nya plural maka gunakan are.
Jika subjeknya singular, maka gunakan is atau am.
Was dan were digunakan untuk past tense (masa lampau)
Is, am, are digunakan untuk past tense (masa sekarang)
Yup, that’s the lesson for today. check my email tomorrow. I’ll see you then.
62. Using while with the past progressive
Let’s look at examples

- The phone rang while I was sleeping
- Santi called me while I was calling my mother
- Our children cried while we were away

While + subject + verb is a time clause. Can you see the time clause from the examples
above?
A while-clause describes an activity that was in progress at the time another activity
happened.
From the examples above, you can also say:
- While I was sleeping, the phone rang

- While I was calling my mother, Santi called me
- While we were away, our children cried
--
Perhatikan keenam contoh diatas. Pastikan kamu mengerti semua vocabulary nya
While + subjek + kata kerja (verb) adalah klausa waktu. Klausa-while (while I was
sleeping) memberikan gambaran suatu kejadian yang sedang dalam progress pada masa
lampau di saat kejadian lain telah terjadi.
Penting! Klausa-while biasanya digunakan untuk past tense (masa lampau).
While you’re reading this email, I was preparing the email for tomorrow. So, check my
email tomorrow for more English lesson. Bye.
63. Past tense and past progressive tense
Hey,
Today we’re going to take a closer look on past tense and past progressive tense. what
are the differences?
Firstly, let’s look at some examples, shall we?

- Judi called me last night
- I studied English last night
- The doctor was in Bandung yesterday
- I came to see a doctor yesterday
- Where did the doctor go yesterday?
Simple past describes activities or situations that began and ended at a particular time in
the past (yesterday, last night). Try to understand deeply about began and ended in the
past.
Now let’s look at examples of past progressive
- Judi called me while I was studying last night.

- while the doctor was in Bandung, I come to see a doctor yesterday.

Info: WA 08116876996
57

Past progressive describes an activity that was in progress (was happening) at the time
another action happened. Let’s break down the examples above
- studying was in progress when Judi called

- while the doctor was still in progress being (staying) in Bandung, I came to see him.
--
Hi,
Hari ini kita akan melihat perbedaan simple past tense dan past progressive. Bagaimana
cara membedakannya.
Mari perhatikan kembali contoh simple past tense yang ada diatas tadi.
- Judi called me last night

- I studied English last night
- The doctor was in Bandung yesterday
- I came to see a doctor yesterday
- Where did the doctor go yesterday?
Simple past tense digunakan untuk menceritakan kejadian yang dimulai dan berakhir
pada masa lampau pada waktu tertentu. Pahami saat Judi memulai telponan dengan
saya dan kejadian tersebut berakhir pada masa lampau juga.
Sekarang meri perhatikan past progressive
- Judi called me while I was studying last night.

- while the doctor was in Bandung, I come to see a doctor yesterday.
Past progressive menjelaskan kajadian yang dalam proses saat kejadian lampau lainnya
telah terjadi. Perhatikan kembali contoh kalimat past progressive di atas.
- Saat saya sedang belajar di masa lampu, Judi menelpon saya.

- Ketika dokter sadang berada di Bandung pada masa lampau, saya datang
menjumpai dia pada masa lampau
Whoh, it’s a lot to take in. I know. I leave you to it to digest the differences between
simple past and past progressive tense. I’ll see you tomorrow.
64. Using Be going to
Hey, how is it going? I hope everything’s under control.
Today we’re going to express future time using be going to. Let’s get going.
First let’s look at some examples.

- I am going to go downtown tomorrow
- We are going to come to the exhibition next week

Info: WA 08116876996
58
360 emails
- Deni is going to be in town tomorrow morning
Be going to talks about the future. Remember the form be (am, is, are) + going to + base
verb.
The negative form is be + not + going to + base verb
- I am not going to go downtown tomorrow

- We are not going to come to the exhibition
To ask question about your future plan, we put be before the subject.
- Are you going to come to class tomorrow?

- Is Jami going to be here tomorrow night?
- What time are you going to pick me up?
As you can see all be coms before the subject.
---
Hi, kali ini kita akan melihat cara menggunakan be going to untuk mengungkapkan
rencana masa depan.
Perhatikan letak be (am, is, are) + going to + kata kerja pada kalimat di atas. Be going to
diartikan “akan”.
Untuk mengatakan “tidak akan” dalam bahasa Inggris, kita hanya perlu menambahkan
not setelah be.
Untuk bertanya “apakah kamu (subjek) akan?” kita letak kan be sebelum subjek.
Please read again the examples above and try to make your own sentences about your
plans for tomorrow or for the next two weeks. I’ll see you tomorrow.
65. Using present progressive to express future time
Hey,
Sometimes the present progressive is used to express future time. Look at examples
below
- We are going to visit the Borobudur temple
- We are visiting the Borobudur temple
Both sentences mean the same thing.
The present progressive is used for future meaning when the speaker is talking about
plans that have already been made.

Hi, apa kabar!
Dalam bahasa Inggris, present progressive bisa juga digunakan untuk mengungkapkan
waktu akan datang. Perhatikan kembali contoh di atas.

rencana yang telah di buat.
Yup, that’s the lesson for today. check my email tomorrow. I’ll see you then.
66. Words used for past time and future time
Hey,
past time words:

Yesterday last Ago
Future time words:

Tomorrow next in five minutes
Let’s look at some examples. Decide which is future tense and which is past tense
- It rained yesterday
- It’s going to rain tomorrow
- I wasn’t in the class last week
- I'm going to be in the class next week
- We graduated from high school two weeks ago
- We are going to graduate from high school in two weeks
Remember the words, you can’t use past words in future tenses.

---
Hi,
Saya harap kamu masih ingat penggunaan ago (untuk masa lampau) dan in (untuk
masa akan datang). Kali ini kita akan melihat penggunaan a couple of dan a few untuk
masa lampau dan masa akan datang.
Perhatikan kalimat berikut ini:
- We’re going to talk to your parents in two days

- We talked to your parents two days ago
Catatan! Angka sering digunakan untuk mengekspresikan waktu dengan ago dan in.
Sekarang perhatikan penggunaan a couple of dan a few
- I studied at this school a couple of years ago

- She’s going to study at this school in a couple of years
- She texted me a few days ago

68. Using will for future time
As we have learnt from the previous lessons that future tense is expressed by using be
going to. Today, we’re going to look at other way to express future time, using will.
Let’s look at the following statements

a. Nur will arrive in 2 days
b. Nur is going to arrive in 2 days.
Both sentences basically have the same meaning.
Remember to always use will with base verb as in (a). you can use arrives, to arrive or
arriving.
Now let’s look at some examples of negative with will
c. Hidayat will not be here tomorrow

d. Susanti will not visit you for two days
Try to make your own example. Remember the form

S + will not + base verb + o/c
Also remember the constructions of will
e. I will come – I’ll come

You will come – you’ll come
They will come – they’ll come
We will come – we’ll come
She will come – she’ll come
He will come – he’ll come
It will come – it’ll come
She will not come – she won’t come
---
Hi, kali ini kita akan melihat penggunaan will untuk masa akan datang.
Perhatikan kalimat berikut ini

a. Nur will arrive in 2 days
b. Nur is going to arrive in 2 days.
Kedua kalimat di atas memiliki makna yang sama.

Ingat! Selalu gunakan will dengan kata dasar, seperti kalimat (a). Kamu tidak bisa
menggunakan arrives, to arrive atau arriving.
Sekarang perhatikan kalimat negatif menggunakan will
f. Hidayat will not be here tomorrow

g. Susanti will not visit you for two days
Coba buat kalimat sendiri dengan formula berikut.

S + will not + base verb + o/c
Penting! Kamu bisa menyingkat will seperti contoh berikut ini
h. I will come – I’ll come

You will come – you’ll come
They will come – they’ll come
We will come – we’ll come
She will come – she’ll come
He will come – he’ll come
It will come – it’ll come
She will not come – she won’t come
Hmhm, that’s a lot to take in for one day. Keep practicing. And,
69. Asking question with will
You can ask question like “are you going to visit my mother tomorrow?”. you can also
ask question using will. Let’s take a look.
a. Will you visit my mother tomorrow? answer – yes, I will/ no, I won’t
b. Will your mother want to see me? Answer – yes, she will / no, she won’t
The form is: will + subject (you, your mother) + main verb (visit, want) + o/c
You can also ask with questions words
c. When will she talk to me again?

d. Where will the you be tonight?
e. What time will your children be asleep?

Hi, topik kita hari ini adalah perbedaan may/might dan will. Keduanya memiliki aturan
grammar yang sama (may/might, will + kata kerja dasar), tapi memiliki makna yang
berbeda. Perhatikan contoh kalimat berikut ini.
a. It may rain tomorrow

b. It might rain tomorrow
c. Anita may be at home tomorrow

d. Anita might be at home tomorrow
May dan might memiliki makna yang sama. Keduanya digunakan untuk kamingkinan
pada masa akan datang. May dan might selalu datang sebelum kata kerja dasar (rain, be)
e. Tom will be at the meeting tomorrow

f. Anita might be at the meeting tomorrow
Pada (e) penutur sangat yakin kalau tom pasti akan datang ke pertemuan besok.
Sedangkan (f), penutur tidak yakin kalu Anita pasti datang di pertemuan besok, tapi ada
kemungkinan ia akan datang.
g. It might not rain tomorrow (kemungkinan besok tidak hujan)

h. It will not rain tomorrow (besok pasti tidak akan hujan)
So, I bet you get the picture of the difference between may/might and will. Keep

74. Clauses with if
Hi, today we’re going too look at if-clause
An if-clause begins with if and has a subject and a verb. An if-clause can come before or
after a main clause. If if-clause comes before the main clause, you need to put coma (,)
right after the if-clause. Look at examples below.
a. If it rains tomorrow, we won’t go to school

b. We won’t go to school if it rains tomorrow
The simple present (not will or be going to) is used in an if-clause to express future time.
c. If it rains tomorrow, we won’t go on a picnic

d. I’m going to by a new car next year if I have enough money. If I don’t have enough
money next year for a new car, I’m going to buy a used car.
---
Hi. Hari ini kita akan membahas if-clause

Info: WA 08116876996
67
360 emails
Clause if adalah klausa yang dimulai dengan if dan memiliki subjek dan kata kerja.
Clause if bisa datang sebelum atau sesudah kalimat utama. Jika Clause if datang sebelum
klause utama, kamu harus menambahkan koma (,) setelah Clause if. Perhatikan
contohnya.
e. If it rains tomorrow, we won’t go to school

f. We won’t go to school if it rains tomorrow
Simple present (bukan will atau be going to) yang digunakan dalam Clause if untuk
mengatakan waktu akan datang.
g. If it rains tomorrow, we won’t go on a picnic

h. I’m going to by a new car next year if I have enough money. If I don’t have enough
money next year for a new car, I’m going to buy a used car.
So, if you have free time, what would you do?
Try to make your own examples. I’ll see you tomorrow.
75. Expressing habitual present with time clauses and if-clauses
Hi, today we’re going to look more about clauses.

b. after Santi gets to work, she always a cup of coffee
example (a) is stating future. Example (b) is Santi’s habitual action.
c. If it rains tomorrow, I’m going to wear my raincoat

d. If it rains, I wear my raincoat
Example (c) expresses a specific activity in the future. The simple present is used in the
if-clause. Be going to or will is used in the main clause.
Example (d) expresses habitual activities, so the simple present is used in both the if-
clause and the main clause.

87. Imperative sentences
Hi, how’s everything?
Let’s say you want to ask or want someone to do something for you. You’d say “close
the door” or “open page 50”. We call these sentences imperative sentences.
Imperative sentences are sentences that don’t have subject and it means to give
commend or demand.
Let’s look at some other examples.
a. Bring the book.
b. Sit down with me.
c. Be careful
d. Don’t worry
e. Don’t be late, please.
In (a), the sentence means “Andy, I want you to bring the book. I'm telling you to bring
the book”.
Remember! imperative sentence uses base verb (bring, sit, be, etc.). We use don’t to say
negative imperative sentences, as in (d) and (e).
Imperative sentences give orders (in a), directions (in b), and advice (in d). with the
addition of please, as in (e), imperative sentences are used to make polite requests.

Jika kamu ingin menyuruh sesuatu kepada seseorang dalam bahasa Inggris. Kamu
harus bilang “close the door” atau “open page 50”. Kalimat seperti ini di sebut
imperative sentence (kalimat perintah).
Mari perhatikan beberapa contoh berikut.
a. Bring the book.

b. Sit down with me.
c. Be careful
d. Don’t worry
e. Don’t be late, please.
Kalimat (a) berarti “Aku mau kamu membawa buku. Aku menyuruh kamu membawa
buku”
Ingat! Kalimat perintah dalam bahasa Inggris memakai kata kerja dasar (bring, sit, be,
etc.). Kita gunakan don’t untuk kalimat perintah negatif (Jangan lakukan) seperti pada
kalimat (d) dan (e).
Kalimat perintah digunakan untuk memberi perintah (seperti kalimat a), arah (b), dan
saran (d). Dengan menambahkan please, seperti dalam kalimat (e), kalimat perintah
digunakan untuk meminta secara sopan.

Kata-kata di atas disebut modal auxiliaries. Auxiliary adalah pembantu kata kerja. Ia
selalu datang di belakang kata kerja dalam bentuk dasar nya.
Ingat kembali makna dan arti dari semua auxiliary dan letak kan auxiliary di kalimat

scenario.
1. My shoes are dirty
2. I'm cleaning my shoes
3. I have cleaned my shoes
4. My shoes are clean now
Have cleaned is the present perfect (have + past participle)
Examples of past participle (cleaned, gone, been, done)
Don’t be confused with past participle and simple past verbs
Simple past. past participle
- Called. Called
- Tried. Tried
- Wrote written
- Read. Read
We use the present perfect for an action in the past with a result now. look at examples

Hi,
Hari ini kita akan belajar tentang penggunaan dan makna present perfect. Yuk, lihat
skenario berikut.
1. My shoes are dirty
2. I'm cleaning my shoes
3. I have cleaned my shoes
4. My shoes are clean now
Have cleaned adalah present perfect (have + past participle)
Contoh lain past participle (cleaned, gone, been, done)
Jangan terbalik antara past participle dan simple past
Kata kerja dasar Simple past. past participle
- Call Called. Called

- Try Tried. Tried
- Write Wrote written
- Read Read. Read
Write dan read adalah contoh kata kerja yang perubahannya tidak beraturan (irregular
verb).
Jadi, kita menggunakan present perfect untuk kejadian masa lampau dengan hasil
dirasakan pada masa sekarang. Perhatikan contoh berikut ini.
a. I’ve lost my passport (aku tidak bisa menemukan paspor ku sekarang)

b. We’ve bought a new car (sekarnag kami memiliki mobil baru)
c. It’s my birthday today and he hasn’t bought me a present (dia tidak membeli
kado untuk aku sekarang)
d. Where’s Anton? She’s gone to bed. (dia tidur sekarang)
Make sure you familiar with at least 50 irregular verbs. Now try to make your own
present perfect sentences. I’ll see you tomorrow for more present perfect usage. See you
then.

99. How to use either and neither
Let’s take a look first at either and too.

We use either and too at the end of a sentence. Too is used after positive verb, but
either is used after a negative verb.
a. I'm happy
I’m happy too
b. I can’t cook
I can’t either
c. Jane is a teacher. Her husband is a teacher too.
Read again the example above. Pay close attention where should you put too and
either.
Neither do I / so am I
Either is used for negative verb, but neither is used for positive verb. Basically,
“neither do I” means “I’m not either”. “so am I” means “I am too”. Remember
that be should agree with the subject, e.g. so is she, so are we etc.
Let’s look at more examples.
d. I’m working
So am I (I’m working too)
e. I’d like to go to Australia
So would I
f. Kate hasn’t cook
Neither has Jane
g. I won’t be here tomorrow

Kali ini kita akan melihat penggunaan either dan neither.

Mari lihat penggunaan either dan too.
Kita menggunakan either dan too di akhir kalimat. Too digunakan untuk kalimat
positif, sedangkan either digunakan untuk kalimat negative.
h. I'm happy
I’m happy too
i. I can’t cook
I can’t either
j. Jane is a teacher. Her husband is a teacher too.
Perhatikan kembali contoh-contoh diatas. Pastikan kamu tahu penempatan too

dan either.
Penggunaan Neither do I / so am I
Jika either digunakan untuk negative, sedangkan neither digunakan untuk

kalimat positive, walaupun keduanya memiliki makna negatif.
“neither do I” artinya “I’m not either”. “so am I” artinya “I am too”.
Ingat! Be harus setara dengan subjeknya, contohnya, so is she, so are we .dll.
k. I’m working
So am I (artinya, I’m working too)
l. I’d like to go to Australia
So would I
m. Kate hasn’t cook
Neither has Jane
n. I won’t be here tomorrow
Neither will I
Important! So am I (not so I am), neither do I (not neither I do).
Ingat! Selalu gunakan So am I (bukan so I am), neither do I (bukan neither I do).

100. Verb agreement after expression of quantity

A particular agreement problem occurs when the subject is and expression of
quantity, such as all, most, or some, followed by the preposition of. In this
situation, the subject (all, most, or some) can be singular or plural, depending on
what follows the proposition of.
Look at example below.
a. All of the students in the class are listening to the lecture
b. Most of the fire in the hills was extinguished.
c. Some of the animals from the zoo are released back to the jungle
d. Half of the food that we are serving to the guests is still in the refrigerator.
In (a) the subject all refers to the plural noun students, so the correct verb is
therefore the plural verb are.
Pay close attention to the object of expression of quantity and its verb.
---
Hi,

Seringkali masalah yang muncul ketika subjek adalah expressi kuantitas seperti,
all, most, atau some, yang diikuti oleh preposisi of. Dalam situasi ini, subjek (all,

g. Some of the animals from the zoo are released back to the jungle
h. Half of the food that we are serving to the guests is still in the refrigerator.
Dalan (a) subjek all kembali kepada kata benda jamak students, jadi, kata kerja
yang bernar adalah kata kerja jamak are.
Perhatikan pada objek proposisi of dan kata kerja nya.

Certain words in English are always grammatically singular even though they
might suggest plural meaning.
- Everybody is going to the party
We understand from the example that a lot of people are going to the party, but
everybody is a singular and requires a singular verb. Below are singular words
that have plural meaning.
Anybody Everybody Nobody Somebody Each (+noun)

Anyone Everyone No one Someone every(+noun)
Anything Everything Nothing Something
Remember! These words are grammatically singular, so they take singular verbs
Let’s look at more example
a. Each of the doctors in the hospital needs new medical equipment

b. The director felt that no one was better suited for the job.
c. Everybody agrees that nothing is impossible
Try to make your own example. I’ll see you tomorrow for more practical English
lesson.

a. box A is bigger than box B
b. Box B is bigger than box C

- The oldest / the cheapest / the nicest
But we say the best for very good and the worst for very bad
Long words (careful/expensive/interesting) – the most …
- The most careful / the most expensive / the most interesting)
Remember! We say the oldest / the most expensive etc. (with the)
e. What is the longest river in the world?

(,) if because at the beginning.
You can use multiple conjunctions in one sentence.
m. I was late and I was so angry because she didn’t come, so I come back home.
---
Kita gunakan and, but, or, so, because (kata sambung) untuk menggabungkan 2

112. Using if…
Hi,
If can be at the beginning of a sentence or in the middle:

a. If we go by bus, it will be cheaper
b. If you’re hungry, have something to eat
c. It will be cheaper if we go by bus
d. It’s ok if you use the phone in my class
Notice the coma (,) in (a) and (b).
In (c) and (d), if is in the middle of the sentence, and we don’t use coma.
Remember! We often use if-clause (if you go by bus, if you’re hungry) in present
tense.
in conversation, we often use the if-part of the sentence alone.
e. Are you going to a concert? Yes, if I can get a ticket.
---
If bisa di awal kalimat dan juga bisa di tengah kalimat:

a. If we go by bus, it will be cheaper
b. If you’re hungry, have something to eat

That’s it for today. we use if similar to (jika) in Bahasa Indonesia. I’ll see you
tomorrow for other use of if in English.
113. If I had… (conditional)
Let’s look at the story of Dan
Dan like fast cars, but he doesn’t have one. He doesn’t have enough money
a. If he had enough money, he would buy a fast car.
Usually, had is past, but in this example had is not past. if he had the money = if
he had the money now (but he doesn’t have it now).
The rule to say if I had

If + (subject)+ (past verb) + (,) +(subject) + (would, could)
Note! Example of past verb is (had, knew, didn’t have, was, were).
Look again to example (a). you can also say.
b. He would buy a fast car, if he had enough money.
Compare if I have and if I had
c. I need to buy the book

If I have money, I will buy the book (maybe I have money, so I’ll buy the
book)
d. I need to see the doctor
If I had time, I would see the doctor (I don’t have time, so I will not see the
doctor)
e. I like that jacket

I’ll buy it if it isn’t too expensive (maybe it will not be too expensive)

Mari lihat cerita si Dan
- Dan like fast cars, but he doesn’t have one. He doesn’t have enough money
a. If he had enough money, he would buy a fast car.
Biasanya had adalah bentuk past, tapi dalam contoh diatas had bukan bentuk
past. if he had the money = jika dia punya uang sekarang (tapi dia tidak punya
uang sekarang).
Aturan menggunakan if I had

If + (subject)+ (past verb) + (,) +(subject) + (would, could)
Ingat! Contoh verb past adalah (had, knew, didn’t have, was, were).
Perhatikan kembali contoh (a). kamu bisa merubahnya menjadi:

b. He would buy a fast car, if he had enough money.
Bandingkan penggunaan if I have dan if I had
c. I need to buy the book

If I have money, I will buy the book (maybe I have money, so I’ll buy the
book)
d. I need to see the doctor
If I had time, I would see the doctor (I don’t have time, so I will not see the
doctor)
e. I like that jacket

I’ll buy it if it isn’t too expensive (maybe it will not be too expensive)
f. I like the jacket, but it’s too expensive.
I’d buy it if it wasn’t so expensive (it’s expensive, so I’m not going to buy it)

119. Ordinal numbers
To form an ordinal number (ordinal numbers put things in order), add the
ending –th to the cardinal numbers.
- Seven – seventh
- Thirteen – thirteenth
When a cardinal number ends in –y, the y changes to –ie before adding –th.
- Twenty – twentieth
- Sixty – sixtieth
Note the following exception, first, second, third and fifth, ninth, twelfth
- Twenty-first
- Forty-third
- Sixty-fifth
----
Untuk membuar angka ordinal (angka ordinal mengurutkan sesuatu),
tambahkan –th di setiap angka.
- Seven – seventh
- Thirteen – thirteenth
Jika angka berakhiran –y, maka y di ubah menjadi –ie sebelum di tambahkan –th.
- Twenty – twentieth
- Sixty – sixtieth
Perhatikan pengecualian, first, second, third dan fifth, ninth, twelfth
- Twenty-first
- Forty-third
- Sixty-fifth
That’s how you order things in English. make sure you can differentiate between
forty and fortieth, fourteen and fourteenth.
120. More about negatives
The word not is used with do to make a verb negative, as in I don’t have any
money. No is used as an adjective in front of a noun, as in I have no money. Both of
these examples are acceptable ways of expressing the idea that you do not have
something.
Note these contracted negative forms with do:
- I don’t
- You don’t
- She doesn’t
Avoid using more than one negative in a clause.

- I don’t have any money

I don’t have no money (incorrect)
- They don’t see anybody.
They don’t see nobody. (incorrect)
- I didn’t do anything.
I didn’t do nothing. (incorrect)
----
kata not digunakan dengan do untuk membuat kata kerja menjadi negatif,
seperti dalam kalimat I don’t have any money. No digunakan sebagai kata sifat
sebelum kata benda, seperti dalam kalimat I have no money. Kedua contoh ini bisa
digunakan untuk mengungkapkan ketidakpunyaan.
Perhatikan cara memendek kan do/does not:

- I don’t
- You don’t
- She doesn’t
Jangan gunakan dua negetif dalam satu klausa.
- I don’t have any money
I don’t have no money (salah)
- They don’t see anybody.
They don’t see nobody. (salah)
- I didn’t do anything.

121. Tag questions
Tag questions are questions that are added at the end of a sentence.
- Jon is here, isn’t he?
- You like jackfruit, don’t you?
- She doesn’t like coffee, does she?
- He didn’t go to the class, did he?
The subject of the tag question should be the same as the subject of the main verb.
If the first part of the sentence is in the affirmative, then the tag question will be
negative, and vice versa.
- She likes seafood, doesn’t she?
- She doesn’t like seafood, does she?
In American English, a form of do is usually used when have is the main verb.
“they have the money, don’t they?”

Tag questions adalah pertanyaan yang ditambahkan pada akhir sebuah kalimat
untuk memperjelas statement.
- Jon is here, isn’t he?
- You like jackfruit, don’t you?
- She doesn’t like coffee, does she?
- He didn’t go to the class, did he?
Subjek dalam tag question harus sama dengan subjek pada kalimat utama. Jika
kalimat utama adalah kalimat affirmative, makan tag question nya harus negetif,
dan sebaliknya.
- She likes seafood, doesn’t she?
- She doesn’t like seafood, does she?
Dalam American English, bentu do biasanya digunaka jika have adalah kata
kerja dalam kalimat utama.
- they have the money, don’t they?
That’s the lesson for today. practice to use tag questions when you speak with
your friend. I’ll see you tomorrow.

He gives it to you
- Andi, Doni and Susan will send me some letters
they’ll send them to me.

Note that when you use a direct object pronoun, it comes earlier in the sentence
than its noun equivalent:

I give it to you (not I give you to it)
---
Jika ada kalimat yang terdapat lebih dari satu kata ganti objek, aturannya sebagai
berikut:
a. Letakkan kata kanti objek setelah kata kerja.

get is with an adjective:
a. I’m getting hungry
b. You shouldn’t eat too much. You’ll get fat.

140. DIRECT AND INDIRECT SPEECH
In newspapers, magazines, and books, you will often see quoted or direct speech:
a. They said, “We have no record of this transaction.”
b. He stated, “I don’t know what happened.”
In spoken English, reported or indirect speech will be used instead:

c. They said that they had no record of this transaction.

d. He stated that he didn’t know what happened.
In reported or indirect speech, no quotation marks are used and the subject of the
main clause and the dependent clause are the same.
Here are some rules for tense usage in indirect speech:

- If the main verb of the sentence is in the past (said, reported, stated, etc.), the
verb in the dependent clause will also be in the past.
- Here is a chart indicating typical transformations:
QUOTED IN—>REPORTED IN
- simple present—> simple past
- present progressive—> perfect progressive
- present perfect—> past perfect
- simple past—> past perfect
- future—> conditional
EXAMPLES:
- I said, “She reads the paper every day.”
I said she read the paper every day.
- I said, “She is reading the paper every day.”
I said she was reading the paper....
- I said, “She has read the paper everyday.”
I said she had read the paper....
- I said, “She read the paper everyday.”
- I said, “She will read the paper everyday.”
I said she would read the paper....
In reported speech, an imperative will change to an infinitive. Furthermore, say
will be replaced by a form of
tell:
- He said, “Show me your passport.”
He told me to show my passport.
----
Di dalam koran, majalah atau buku, kamu sering melihat tanda petik atau direct
speech:
a. They said, “We have no record of this transaction.”
b. He stated, “I don’t know what happened.”

Dalam reported atau indirect speech, tanda petik tidak digunakan dan subjek
klausa utama dan klausa kedua sama.
Berikut atauran penggunaan intirect speech dan tenses nya:

- Jika kata kerja utama dalam bentuk past (said, reported, stated, etc.), makan
kata kerja di klausa dependent juga dalam bentuk past.
QUOTED IN—>REPORTED IN

- present perfect—> past perfect
- simple past—> past perfect
- future—> conditional

Words like down, in, up are not always prepositions, compare with (…):
- I ran down the road (please sit down)
- Something’s climbing up my leg. (she’s not up yet).
- He’s in his office. (you go in)

In sit down, go in and she’s not up, the words down, in and up have no objects. They are
adverbs, not propositions.
Small adverbs like these are usually called “adverb(ial) particles”. They include above,
about, across, ahead, along around, aside, away, back, before, behind, under, up.
Many words of this kind can be used as both adverb particles and prepositions, but
there are some exceptions: for example, back, away (only adverb particles); from, during
(only propositions).

Kata seperti down, in, up tidak selalu berfungsi sebagai preposisi, bandingkan kalimat
berikut (…):
- I ran down the road (please sit down)
- Something’s climbing up my leg. (she’s not up yet).
- He’s in his office. (you go in)
Pada ekspresi down the road, in his office dan up my leg. kata down, in dan up adalah
preposisi: preposisi memiliki objek (the road, his office, and my leg).
pada sit down, go in dan she’s not up. kata down, in dan up tidak memiliki objek. Kata-kata
tersebut adalah adverb (kata keterangan), bukan preposisi.
Adverb (kata keterangan) kecil seperti ini biasanya disebut “adverb(ial) particles”.
Termasuk diantaranya above, about, across, ahead, along around, aside, away, back, before,
behind, under, up.
Banyak kata yang seperti ini bisa menjadi adverb particles dan prepositions, tetapi ada
pengecualian: contohnya, back, away (hanya adverb particles); from, during (hanya
preposisi).

156. British and American pronunciation
There are, of course, many different regional accent in both Britain and American. The
most important general differences between American and British speech are as follows:
a. Certain vowels are nasal (pronounced through the nose and mouth at the same time)
in some varieties of American English, but not in most British accents.
b. British English has one more vowel than American English. this is the rounded short
o used in words like cot, dog, got, gone, off, etc. in American English these words are
pronounced either with /a/, like the first vowel in father, or with /o/, like the vowel
in caught.
c. Some words written with a + consonant (e.g. fast, after) have different
pronunciations; with /a:/ in standard southern British English, and with /ae/ in
American and some other varieties of English.
---
Ada beberapa perbedaan aksen dari british english dan American english. perbedaan
yang jelas dari dari kedua aksen ini bisa di lihat di bawah ini:
a. Beberapa huruf vocal biasanya nasal (dibunyikan melalui hidung dan mulut secara
bersamaan) pada beberapa American english, tapi tidak pada aksen British English.
b. Pada akesn British English memiliki satu huruf vocal tambahan. Yaitu huruf vocal o
yang pendek, seperti pada kata cot, dog, got, gone, off, dll. Pada aksen American
English kata-kata seperti diatas di bunyikan baik dengan /a/, seperti pada kata
father, atau dengan /o/, seperti pada kata caught.
c. Beberapa kata yang ditulis denga a + konsonan (seperti, fast, after) berbeda cara
pembunyiannya; dengan /a:/ pada British English, dan dengan /ae/ pada
American.

157. More on American and british english
a. The vowel in home, go, open is pronounced /eu/ in British English, and /ou/ in
American English. the two vowels sound very different.

b. In standard southern British English, r is only pronounced before a vowel sound. In

most kinds of American English, r is pronounced in all positions where it is written
in a word, and it changes the quality of a vowel that comes before it. So words like
car, turn, offer sound very different in British and American speech
c. In many varieties of American English, t and d both have a very light voiced
pronunciation (/d/) between vowels – so writer and rider, for example, can sound the
same. In British English they are quite different; /raite(r) and /raide(r)/
d. Words ending in unstressed –ile (e.g. fertile, reptile, missile, senile) are pronounced
/ail/ in british english; some are pronounced with /l/ in American english.
Fertile in AmE rhymes with turtle while in BrE rhymes with her tile.
---
a. Huruf vokal pada kata home, go, open dibunyikan /eu/ pada British English (BrE),
dan /ou/ pada American English (AmE). Kedua huruf vokal tersebut terdengar
berbeda.
b. Dalam BrE, r hanya di bunyikan jika berdada dibelakang huruf vokal. Dalam AmE, r
dibunyikan dimanapun ia ditulis, dan ia mempengaruhi kualitas huruf vokal yang
datang setelahnya. Jadi, kata seperti car, turn, offer berbunyi berbeda antara AmE dan
BrE.
c. Dalam AmE, t dan d diucapkan sangat ringan dan terdengar seperti (/d/) jika
keduanya datang diantara huruf vokal. Jadi, writer dan rider terdengar sama. Pada
BrE keduanya diucapkan berbeda; /raite(r) dan /raide(r)/
d. Kata-kata yang berakhiran–ile (seperti fertile, reptile, missile, senile) diucapkan /ail/
pada BrE; kebanyakan diucapkan /l/ pada American english.
Fertile pada AmE seirama dengan turtle sedangkan padaBrE seirama dengan her tile.
Practice more on examples I mentioned above with British and American English. I’ll see
you tomorrow
158. Pronunciation of the
The is normally pronounce with the vowel /i/ (like bibik) before a vowel and /e/ (like
besar) before a consonant. Compare:
- The ice /thi ais/
- The snow /the snou/
The choice between /i/ and /e/ depends on pronunciation, not spelling. We
pronounced /i/ before a vowel sound, even if it is written as a consonant.
- The hour /thi ower/
- The MP /thi em pi/
And we pronounced /e/ before a consonant sound, even if it is written as a vowel.
- The university /the yuni…/
- The one-legged man /the wan…/
We sometimes pronounce a stressed /thi/ before a hesitation, or when we want to stress
the following word, even if it begins with a consonant.
- He’s the /thi/ - em… - personal doctor

The secara umum dibunyikan dengan vokal /i/ (seperti kata bibik) jika di depannya
huruf vokal, dan dibunyikan /e/ (seperti besar) jika didepanya konsonan. bandingkan:
- The ice /thi ais/

Pemilihan antara /i/ dan /e/ tergantung pada bunyi huruf setelahnya, bukan
tulisannya. the dibunyikan /i/ sebelum bunyi vokal, walaupun ditulis dengan
konsonan.
- The hour /thi ower/
- The MP /thi em pi/
Dan the dibunyikan /e/ sebelum bunyi konsonan, walaupun ditulis dengan huruf
vokal.
- The university /the yuni…/
- The one-legged man /the wan…/
Terkadang the dibaca dengan /i/ ketika sedang ragu, atau menekankan kata
selanjutnya, walaupun kata tersebut dimulai dengan konsonan.
- He’s the /thi/ - em… - personal doctor

160. Using back and again
Back and again can be used with similar meaning, but there are some differences.
- Back with a verb
With a verb, we use back to suggest a return to an earlier situation, movement in the
opposite direction to an earlier movement, and similar ideas. Again is not normally
used in this way with a verb.

b. I’m taking this meat back to the shop. (not I’m taking this meat to the shop again)
- Again with a verb.

to sell it again?
-----

berpaling kearah sebaliknya”, atau gagasan yang sama. Again tidak digunakan
seperti back jika dengan kata kerja.

again)

Sometimes when we are talking about the past, we want to talk about something which
was in the future at that time – which had not yet happened. To express this idea, we use
the structure that normally used to talk about the future, but we make the verb forms
past. for example, instead of is going to we use was going to; instead of present progressive

Note that had better does not usually suggest that the action recommended would be
better than another one that is being considered – there is no idea of comparison. The
structure means “it would be good to …”, not “it would be better to …”.
---
had better digunakan untuk memberi saran, atau menyuruh orang melakukan sesuatu
(termasuk diri sendiri).
a. You’d better turn that music down before dad gets angry.
b. It’s seven o’clock. I’d better put the meat in the oven.
Had better menunjuk kapada masa depan yang dekat. Ia lebih penting dari pada should
atau ought. bandingkan:
c. I really ought to go and see Fred one of these days. ~ well, you’d better do it soon –
he’s leaving for south Africa at the end of the month.
Had better tidak digunakan untuk meminta sacara sopan. Bandingkan:
d. Could you help me, if you’ve got time? (meminta/mohon)
e. You’d better help me. If you don’t, there’ll be trouble. (menyuruh/mengancam)
Ingat bahwa had better tidak menunjukkan susuatu lebih baik dari yang lain – tidak
membandingkan perbuatan. Struktur had better bermakna “it would be good to …”, bukan
“it would be better to …”.
That’s it for today. I’ll see you tomorrow for the forms of had better. See you.
170. Forms of had better
Had better refers to the immediate future, but the form is always past (have better is
impossible). After had better we use the infinitive without to.

(not you have better)

(not you had better hurrying / to hurry)

We normally make the negative with had better not + infinitive.
b. You’d better not wake me up when you come in.
(you hadn’t better wake me… is possible but very unusual.)
A negative interrogative form hadn’t … better …? is possible
c. Hadn’t we better tell him the truth?
Normally emphatic short answer forms are as follows:
d. Shall I put my clothes away? – You’d better!
e. He says he won’t tell anybody. – he’d better not.
Had is sometimes dropped in very informal speech.
f. You better go now.
g. I better try again later.
---
Had better menunjukkan masa depan, tapi bentuknya selalu dalam bentuk past (have
better tidak bisa digunakan). setelah had better kita menggunakan infinitif tanpa to.
a. It’s late – you had better hurry up
(bukan you have better)
(bukan you had better hurrying / to hurry)
Normalnya, kalimat negative dengan had better + not + infinitive.
b. You’d better not wake me up when you come in.
(you hadn’t better wake me… bisa digunakan tapi sangat tidak normal.)
Kalimat tanya negatif bentuknya hadn’t … better …?
c. Hadn’t we better tell him the truth?
Had better bisa juga digunakan untuk merespon pertanyaan.
d. Shall I put my clothes away? – You’d better!
e. He says he won’t tell anybody. – he’d better not.
Had terkadang di buang pada percakapan informal.
f. You better go now.
g. I better try again later.
You’d better read again all examples above to understand the form and meaning. See
you tomorrow.
171. All about –ing
Ing: participles and gerunds
We can use –ing form (e.g. smoking walking) not only as verbs, but also like adjectives or
nouns. Compare:
a. You’re smoking too much these days. (verb: part of present progressive)
b. There was smoking cigarette end in the ashtray. (an adjective describing cigarette end)

c. Smoking is bad for you (noun: subject of sentence)

When –ing form are used as verbs or adjectives, they are often called “present
participles”. (this is not a very suitable name, because these forms can refer to the past,
present or future.) When –ing used more like nouns, they are often called “gerunds”.
Perfect, passive and negative –ing forms
Note the structure of prefect, passive and negative –ing forms.
d. Having slept for twelve hours, I felt marvelous. (perfect)
e. She loves being looked at. (passive)
f. Not knowing what to do, I went home. (negative)
g. She’s angry about not having been invited. (negative perfect passive)
---
Ing: sebagai participles dan gerunds
Kita bisa menggunakan bentuk –ing (seperti smoking walking) tidak hanya sebagai kata
kerja, tapi bisa juga sebagai kata sifat dan kata benda. bandingkan:
a. You’re smoking too much these days. (kata kerja: bagian dari present progressive)
b. There was smoking cigarette end in the ashtray. (kata sifat )
c. Smoking is bad for you (kata benda: sebagai subjek)
Ketika bentuk –ing digunakan sebagai kata kerja dan kata sifat, ia disebut “present
participles”. Ketika –ing digunakan sebagai kata benda, ia disebut “gerunds”.
Bentuk Perfect, passive dan negative dari –ing
d. Having slept for twelve hours, I felt marvelous. (perfect)
e. She loves being looked at. (passive)
f. Not knowing what to do, I went home. (negative)
g. She’s angry about not having been invited. (negative perfect passive)
-ing is very complicated and complex. We’ll see more about –ing tomorrow. see you
then.
172. –ing form or infinitive
-ing forms are often used in similar ways to infinitives. For instance, they can follow
certain verbs, adjectives or nouns. Compare:
a. He agreed to wait.
He suggested waiting. (not he suggested to wait.)
b. She’s ready to listen.
She’s good at listening. (not she’s good to listen.)
c. The need to talk
The idea of talking… (not the idea to talk)
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to decide which verbs, adjectives and nouns are
followed by –ing forms, and which are followed by infinitives. It is best to check in a
good dictionary.
Expressions with –ing forms can also be used as subjects in sentences, or as complements
after be. Infinitives are also possible in these cases, but they are much less common in
informal English. compare:

d. Smoking cigarettes can kill you. (more natural than to smoke cigarettes can kill you.)
e. My favorite activity is reading thrillers. (more natural than My favorite activity is to
read thrillers.)
---
Bentuk -ing seringkali digunakan sama seperti infinitif. Contohnya, -ing bisa mengikuti
kata kerja, kata sifat atau kata benda. Bandingkan:
a. He agreed to wait.
He suggested waiting. (bukan he suggested to wait.)
b. She’s ready to listen.
She’s good at listening. (bukan she’s good to listen.)
c. The need to talk
The idea of talking… (bukan the idea to talk)
sayangnya, tidak ad acara yang mudah untuk memutuskan kata kerja, kata sifat dan
kata benda yang mana yang diikyti oleh bentuk – ing. Cara terbaik adalah melihat
kamus.
Ekspresi dengan bentuk -ing bisa juga menjadi subjek kalimat, atau keterangan setelah
be. Infinitif juga bisa dilakukan, tetapi tidak terlalu sering digunakan dalam percakapan
informal. Bandingkan:
d. Smoking cigarettes can kill you. (lebih umum daripada to smoke cigarettes can kill you.)
e. My favorite activity is reading thrillers. (lebih umum daripada My favorite activity is to
read thrillers.)
Look again to the example (a) to (c). see the difference try to make your own example. I’ll
see you tomorrow.
173. More on –ing (gerund and participle)
The distinction between participles and gerunds is not always clear-cut, and it can
sometimes be difficult to decide which term to use.
-ing forms can be used before nouns. This can happen both with noun-like –ing forms
(gerunds) and adjective-like –ing forms (participle). The two structures do not have quite
the same kind of meaning. Compare:
a. A waiting room (= a room for waiting. Waiting is a gerund, used rather like a noun.
Compare a guest room)
A waiting train (= a train that is waiting. Waiting is a participle, used rather like an
adjective. Compare an early train).
b. A sleeping pill (sleeping is a gerund)
A sleeping child (sleeping is a participle)
c. Working conditions (gerund)
Working men and women (participle)
---
Perbedaan antara participles dan gerunds tidak mudah dibedakan.
Bentuk -ing bisa digunakan sebelum kata benda. Ini terjadi dengan bentuk –ing yang
seperti kata benda (gerund) dan bentuk –ing yang seperti kata sifat (participle). Kedua
struktur ini tidak memiliki makna yang sama. Bandingkan:

A sleeping child (sleeping sebagai participle)
f. Working conditions (gerund)
Working men and women (participle)
I’ll see you tomorrow for more problems with –ing.
174. Using –ing with verbs
After some verbs we can use an –ing form (gerund), but not normally an infinitive
a. I enjoy travelling. (not I enjoy to travel.)
b. He’s finished mending the car. (not he’s finished to mend)
c. She’s given up smoking. (not … given up smoking)
Some common verb that are normally followed by –ing forms:
- Admit
- Appreciate
- Avoid
- Consider
- Deny
- Enjoy
- Prevent
- Forgive, etc.
Some verbs can be followed by both –ing forms and infinitives. Unfortunately, there is no
easy way to decide which structures are possible after a particular verb. It’s best to see a
dictionary.
Some of the verbs listed above, and some others, can be followed by object + -ing form.
d. I can’t imagine him working in an office.
e. Nobody can stop him doing what he wants to
Stop (in an informal style) and prevent are often followed by object + from + -ing form
f. Try to stop/prevent them from finding out.
---
Setelah beberapa kata kerja kita bisa menggunakan bentuk –ing (gerund), tapi jarang
menggunakan infinitif.
a. I enjoy travelling. (bukan I enjoy to travel.)
b. He’s finished mending the car. (bukan he’s finished to mend)
c. She’s given up smoking. (bukan … given up smoking)

Stop (dalam bentuk informal) dan prevent sering diikuti oleh object + from + -ing form
f. Try to stop/prevent them from finding out.
I’ll see you tomorrow. don’t forget to check my email.
175. Using –ing with preposition.
Using –ing after all prepositions
When we put a verb after a preposition, we normally use an –ing from (gerund), not an
infinitive.
a. You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. (not … without to break eggs)
b. Always check the oil before starting the car. (not … before to start the cat)
c. They painted the house instead of going on holiday (not … instead to go …)
Using –ing after preposition to
To is actually two different words. It can be an infinitive marker, used to show that the
next words in an infinitive (e.g. to swim, to laugh). It can also be a prepositions, followed by
for example a noun (eg. She’s gone to the park, I will talk to her).
When to is a preposition, it can be followed by the –ing form of a verb, but not normally
by the infinitive. Common expression in which this happens are look forward to, object to,
be used to, prefer (doing one thing to doing another), get round to, in addition to.
In the following examples, note how the preposition to can be followed by either a noun
or an –ing form.
- Looking forward to your next letter.
Looking forward to hearing from you. (not … to hear from you)
- Do you object to Sunday work?
Do you object to working on Sundays?
- I’m not used to London traffic
I’m not used to driving in London
- I prefer the seaside to the mountains.
I prefer swimming to walking.
- I’ll get round to the washing up sooner or later.
I’ll get round to doing the washing up sooner or later.

A few verbs and adjectives are used with to before nouns, but are followed by infinitives
of verbs. Examples are agree, consent, entitled, inclined, prone.
d. She agreed to our plan. / she agreed to do what we wanted.
e. He’s inclined to anger. / he’s inclined to lose his temper.
----
menggunakan –ing setelah semua proposisi
Ketika kita meletakkan kata kerja setelah preposition, bisanya kita mengginakan bentul –
ing (gerund), bukan bentuk infinitif.
a. You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. (bukan … without to break eggs)
b. Always check the oil before starting the car. (bukan … before to start the cat)
c. They painted the house instead of going on holiday (bukan … instead to go …)
menggunakan –ing setelah preposisi to
To adalah dua kata yang berbeda. Ia bisa digunakan sebagai penanda infinitif,
digunakan untuk menunjukkan bahwa kata selanjutnya adalah infinitif (seperti, to swim,
to laugh). Ia bisa juga sebagai prepositions, yang diikuti oleh kata benda (contohnya, She’s
gone to the park, I will talk to her).
Ketika to sebagai preposisi, ia bisa diikuti oleh kata kerja bentuk –ing, tapi tidak dengan
infinitif. Expressi umum adalah look forward to, object to, be used to, prefer (doing one thing
to doing another), get round to, in addition to.
Perhatikan contoh berikut bagaimana preposisi to bisa diikuti oleh noun atau bentuk –
ing.
- Looking forward to your next letter.
Looking forward to hearing from you. (bukan … to hear from you)
- Do you object to Sunday work?
Do you object to working on Sundays?
- I’m not used to London traffic
I’m not used to driving in London
- I prefer the seaside to the mountains.
I prefer swimming to walking.
- I’ll get round to the washing up sooner or later.
I’ll get round to doing the washing up sooner or later.
Beberapa kata kerja dan kata sifat digunakan dengan to sebelum kata benda, tapi diikuti
oleh infinitif contohnya, agree, consent, entitled, inclined, prone.
d. She agreed to our plan. / she agreed to do what we wanted.
e. He’s inclined to anger. / he’s inclined to lose his temper.

Remember when you’re asking questions, sometimes the verb and the subject are
inverted. Check me back tomorrow for more inversion rules.
177. Inversion: exclamations

clause in several different structures.
Exclamations often have the form of negative questions.

b. Hasn’t she got lovely eyes?
In spoken American English, exclamations often have the same from as ordinary (non-
negative) questions.

rather formal.

c. Not until much later did she learn who her real father was.
The same structure is possible after a complete clause beginning not until…

179. More on inversion (whole verb before subject)
After adverbial expression of place
When an adverbial expression of place or direction comes at the beginning of a clause,

intransitive verbs are often put before their subjects. This happens especially when a new
indefinite subject is being introduced. The structure is most common in literary and
descriptive writing.
a. Under a tree was lying one of the biggest men I had ever seen.
b. On the grass sat an enormous frog.
c. Directly in front of them stood a great castle.
d. Along the road came a strange procession.

b. Had I realized what you intended … (= if I had realized …)
Negative are not contracted in this case.

181. Noun + complement: what can follow a noun?
Hi, this week we’re going to learn the nouns and how they are used in sentences.
Many nouns, especially abstract nouns, can be followed by complements” – other words
and expressions that ‘complete’ their meaning. These complements can be prepositional
phrases, infinitive expressions or clauses (with or without prepositions).

b. I hate the thought of leaving you.
c. Does she understand the need to keep everything secret?

182. Using noun + noun: milk chocolate, chocolate milk
Many common ideas in English are expressed by noun + noun compounds. In this
structure, the first noun modifies or describes the second, a little like an adjective.
Compare:
a. Milk chocolate (a kind of chocolate)
Chocolate milk (a kind of milk)
b. A horse race (a kind of race)
A race horse (a kind of horse)
c. Mineral water (a king of water)

becomes a subject and first an object.
d. An oil well (a well that produces oil)

e. A sheepdog (a dog that looks after sheep)
f. The airport bus (the bus that goes to the airport)
Note that the first noun is usually singular in form, even if it has a plural meaning.
g. A shoe shop (a shop that sells shoes)

h. A horse race (a race for horses)
i. A toothbrush (a brush for teeth)
j. A ticket office (an office that sells tickets)
---
Banyak gagasan umum dalam Bahasa Inggris di ekspresikan dengan noun + noun
compounds (kata majemuk). Dalam struktur ini, kata benda benda pertama memberikan
makna tambahan kepada kata benda kedua, seperti kata sifat. Bandingkan:
a. Milk chocolate (a kind of chocolate)
Chocolate milk (a kind of milk)
b. A horse race (a kind of race)
A race horse (a kind of horse)
c. Mineral water (a king of water)
Ekspresi kata benda + kata benda bisa diubah menjadi struktur dimana kata benda
kedua menjadi subjek dan yang pertaman menjadi objek.
d. An oil well (a well that produces oil)

e. A sheepdog (a dog that looks after sheep)
f. The airport bus (the bus that goes to the airport)
Ingat bahwa kata benda pertama biasanya berbentuk tunggal, walaupun ia bermakna
jamak.
g. A shoe shop (a shop that sells shoes)

h. A horse race (a race for horses)
i. A toothbrush (a brush for teeth)
j. A ticket office (an office that sells tickets)
183. Using More than two nouns

More than two nouns can be put together. A group of two nouns can modify a third
noun, these can modify a fourth, and so on.
c. Oil production costs

d. Road accident research center
This kind of structure is very common in newspaper headlines because it saves space
Not all compound ideas can be expressed by a noun + noun structure. Sometimes it is
necessary to use a structure with of or another propositions; sometimes a structure with
possessive ‘s is used.
e. A feeling of disappointment (not a disappointment feeling)

f. Letters from home (not home letters)
g. Cow’s milk (not cow milk)
Some short, common noun + noun combinations are generally written together like
single words.
Bathroom, lampshade, seaside (not railwaystations)
Other may be written with a hyphen (e.g. letter-box) or separately (e.g. furniture shop).
In many cases usage varies, and some combinations can be found written in all three
ways (e.g. bookshop, book-shop, or book shop).
----
Articles punya kata benda pertama dibuang dalam kombinasi 2 kata benda.
a. Army officers (officers in the army)
b. A sun hat (a hat that protects you against the sun)
Lebih dari 2 kata benda bisa diletakkan bersamaan. Kumpulan 2 kata benda bisa
memberi makna kepada kata benda ketiga, ini bisa memberi makna kepada kata benda
keempat, dan seterusnya.
c. Oil production costs

d. Road accident research center
Struktur seperti ini sangat umum digunakan dalam koran karena menyimpan tempat.
Tidak semua ide kata majmuk bisa diekspresikan dengan 2 kata benda. Terkadang perlu
ditambah preposisi lain, terkadang menggunakan kepunyaan.
e. A feeling of disappointment (not a disappointment feeling)

f. Letters from home (not home letters)
g. Cow’s milk (not cow milk)
Kombinasi 2 kata benda umumnya ditulis sebagai satu kata tanpa spasi.
Bathroom, lampshade, seaside (bukan railwaystations)
Beberapa ada yang ditulis dengan tanda penghubung (letter-box) atau di pisah

kombinasi bisa ditulis dengan ketiga cara (bookshop, book-shop, atau book shop).

184. participles (-ing and –ed forms)
when –ing forms are used in certain ways, for example as parts of verb forms, or like
adjectives they are called ‘present participles’. Forms like broken, gone, opened, started
are called ‘past participles’. These are not very suitable names: both forms can be used to
talk about the past, present or future.
a. She was crying when I say her.

b. Who’s the man talking to Eli?
c. This time tomorrow I’ll be lying on the beach.
Participles are used with the auxiliary verbs be and have to make progressive, perfect and
passive verb forms.
d. It was raining when I got home

e. I’ve forgotten your name
f. You’ll be told as soon as possible
Present and past participles can be put together to make progressive and perfect forms
(e.g. being employed, having arrived, etc).
Participles can be used like adjectives.
g. I love the noise of falling rain

h. She says she’s got a broken heart
Sometimes participles are used like adverbs.
i. She ran screaming out of the room.
Try to see the difference among all use of the participles in the examples.
----
Ketika bentuk –ing digunakan untuk cara tertentu, contohnya sebagai bagian dari kata
kerja, atau seperti kata sifat, disebut ‘present participles’. Bentuk seperti broken, gone,
opened, started disebut ‘past participles’. Ini merupakan nama yang kurang cocok;
kedua bentuk ini bisa digunakan untuk past, present dan future.
a. She was crying when I say her.

b. Who’s the man talking to Eli?
c. This time tomorrow I’ll be lying on the beach.
Participle digunakan dengan kata bantuk be dan have untuk membuat kata kerja bentuk
progressive, perfect dan passive.

Most past participles have passive meaning when they are used like adjectives or adverbs.
d. A broken heart (a heart that has been broken)

Interested, bore, excited etc say how people feel.

186. Active past participles
Last email we talked about past participles have passive meanings. Now we’re going to look at
some past participles can be used with active meanings, but only with adverbs. Examples:
a. A well-read person (but not a read person)
b. A much-travelled man
c. Recently arrived immigrants
d. The train just arrived at platform six is the delayed from Hereford.
Some active past participles can be used after be. Examples:
e. She is retired now
f. Those curtains are badly faded.
g. My family are all grown up now
Recovered, camped, stopped, finished and gone are used in this way after be, but not usually
before nouns.
a. Why are all those cars stopped at the crossroads?
b. I hope you’re fully recovered from your operations.
c. I’ll be finished in a few minutes.
Past participles after nouns.
We often use participles after nouns in order to define or identify the nouns, in the same way as
we use identifying relative clauses.
d. We couldn’t agree on any of the problems discussed (not the discussed problems)
e. The people questioned gave very different opinions. (not the questioned people)
Those is often used with a participle to mean “the ones who are/were”.
f. Most of those questioned refused to answer
g. Those selected will begin training on Monday.

c. Recently arrived immigrants

digunakan sebelum kata benda.
h. Why are all those cars stopped at the crossroads?
i. I hope you’re fully recovered from your operations.
j. I’ll be finished in a few minutes.
Past participles setelah kata benda.
participles sering digunakan setelah kata benda untuk mendefinisikan kata benda, sama seperti
kita memberi makna klausa relative.
k. We couldn’t agree on any of the problems discussed (bukan the discussed problems)
l. The people questioned gave very different opinions. (bukan the questioned people)
Those sering digunakan dengan participle yang berarti “yang melakukan/yang itu”.
m. Most of those questioned refused to answer
n. Those selected will begin training on Monday.
That’s how we use past participle to say active meaning. I’ll see you tomorrow.
187. Much or very with past participles
When a past participle is part of a passive verb, we can put much or very much before it, but not
very.
a. He’s (very) much admired by his students. (not … very admired …)
b. Britain’s trade position has been (very) much weakened by inflation. (not … very weakened
…)
When a past participle is used as an adjective, we usually prefer very. This is common with words
referring to mental states, feelings and reactions.
c. A very frightened animal (not a much frightened animal)
d. She looked very surprised.
Common expressions:
e. That’s Alice, unless I’m (very) much mistaken. (not … unless I’m very mistaken)
f. He’s well known in the art world. (not … very known…)
With amused, very and (very) much are both possible.

Special past participle forms
A few older forms of past participles are still used as adjectives before nouns in certain
expressions.
h. Drunken laughter/singing
i. A shrunken head
j. Rotten fruit/vegetables

sebelumnya, tetapi tidak very.

Ekspresi yang umum digunakan:
e. That’s Alice, unless I’m (very) much mistaken. (bukan … unless I’m very mistaken)

188. More on past tenses
We use the simple past for many kinds of past events: short, quickly finished actions and
happenings, longer situations, and repeated events.
a. Peter broke a window last night.
b. I spent all my childhood in Scotland.
c. Regularly every summer, Janet fell in love.
The simple past is common in stories and descriptions of past events.
d. One day the Princess decided that she didn’t like staying at home all day, so she told her
father that she wanted to get a job…
The simple past is often used with words referring to finished times.
e. I saw John yesterday morning. He told me …
In general, the simple past tense in the ‘normal’ one for talking about the past; we use it if we do
not have a special reason for using one of the other tenses.
---
Kita menggunakan the simple past untuk banyak kejadian lampau: many kinds of past events:
short, kejadian yang telah selesai, situasi yang lama, kejadian yang berulang.

The simple past juga sering digunakan untuk kata yang merujuk pada waktu telah selesai.
e. I saw John yesterday morning. He told me …
Umumnya, tensis simple past adalah hal yang ‘normal’ untuk berbicada tentang masa lampau;
kita menggunakannya jika kita tidak memiliki alasan untuk menggunakan tensis lain.
189. Past progressive: use and form
Forms of past progressive
Was/were + -ing
a. I was working.
b. Were you listening to me?
c. She was not trying.
Use of past progressive: what were you doing at eight o’clock
We use the past progressive to say that something was in progress (going on) around a particular
past time.
a. What were you doing at eight o’clock yesterday evening? – I was watching tv. (not what did
you do … ? I watched tv)
b. When I got up this morning the sun was shining, the birds were singing … (not the sun shone,
the birds sang …)
Remember! In the Past progressive, things happen around a past time.
Past progressive and simple past: “background” events
We often use the past progressive together with a simple past tense. the past progressive refers to
a longer “background” action or situation; the simple past refers to a shorter action or event that
happened in the middle of the longer action, or that interrupted it.
a. As I was walking down the road, I saw bill.
b. The phone rang while I was having dinner.

d. When I got up this morning the sun was shining, the birds were singing … (bukan the sun
shone, the birds sang …)
Ingat! dalam Past progressive, sesuatu terjadi pada masa lampau.
Past progressive dan simple past:
Kita sering menggunakan the past progressive bersamaan dengan simple past. past progressive
merujuk pada aksi atau situasi yang lebih lama; simple past merujuk pada aksi yang lebih pendek
yang terjadi di pertengahan kejadian yang lebih lama.
c. As I was walking down the road, I saw bill.
d. The phone rang while I was having dinner.
Try to make your own sentences by using simple and progressive past tenses. I’ll see you
tomorrow for more past tenses.
190. More on past progressive
Don’t use past progressive for repeated actions

The past progressive is not the normal tense for talking about repeated or habitual past actions.
The simple past is usually used with this meaning.
a. I rang the bell six times. (not I was ringing the bell six times.)
b. When I was a child we made our own amusements. (not … were making our own
amusements).
However, the past progressive is possible if the repeated actions form a ‘background’ for the main
action.
c. At the time when it happened, I was travelling to New York a lot.
Special uses
Because we often use the past progressive to talk about something that is a ‘background’, not the
main ‘news’, we can make something seem less important by using this tense. compare:
d. I had lunch with the president yesterday. (important piece of news)
e. I was having lunch with the president yesterday, and she said … (as if there was nothing
special for the speaker about lunching with the president)
The past progressive is quite often used with verbs of saying: this gives more relative importance
to the following verb – to what is said.
f. John was saying that he still can’t find a job.
With always, continually and similar words, the past progressive can be used for things that
happened repeatedly and unexpectedly or in an unplanned way.
g. Aunt Lucy was always turning up without warning and bringing us presents.
h. I didn’t like him – he was continually borrowing money.

Kita tidak gunakan past progressive untuk perkerjaan yang berulang

past progressive tidak normal digunakan untuk berbicara tentang aktifitas masa lampau kebiasaan
atau kegiatan yang berulang. Simple past yang biasa digunakan untuk makna yang seperti ini..
a. I rang the bell six times. (bukan I was ringing the bell six times.)
b. When I was a child we made our own amusements. (bukan … were making our own
amusements).
namun, past progressive boleh digunakan jika kegiatan yang berulang membentuk sebuah
“terkait” untuk kegiatan utama.
c. At the time when it happened, I was travelling to New York a lot.
Penggunaan khusus.
Dikarenakan kita sering menggunakan past progressive untuk mengungkapkan sesuatu yang
“terkait”, bukan “berita” utama, kita bisa membuat sesuatu Nampak kurang penting dengan
menggunakan tense ini. Bandingkan:
d. I had lunch with the president yesterday. (berita yang penting)
e. I was having lunch with the president yesterday, and she said … (seperti tidak ada yang
spesial bagi penutur makan siang bersama presiden.)
Past progressive sering digunakan dengan kata kerja saying.
f. John was saying that he still can’t find a job.
Dengan always, continually dan kata yang sama lainnya, past progressive bisa digunakan untuk
hal yang terjadi berulang dan tidak diinginkan atau tidak di rencanakan.
g. Aunt Lucy was always turning up without warning and bringing us presents.
h. I didn’t like him – he was continually borrowing money.

For the next several days, we’re going to look at past perfect tenses.
The forms
Had + past participle

c. It hadn’t rain for weeks.
Meaning and uses.

moment when we are already talking about the past to make it clear that something had already
happened at the time we are talking about.

or … have met before)
b. When I arrived at the party, Lucy had already gone home. (not … Lucy already went home.
Or … has already gone home.)

happened before the saying or thinking took place.

Lucy had already gone (earlier past)
Thanks for keeping studying with me. I’ll share more lesson tomorrow. don’t forget to check my
email.
192. When to use and not use past perfect
The past perfect is normally only used as described on previous email. The past perfect is not
used simply to say that something happened some time ago or to give a past reason for a present
situation.
a. Alex, who worked for my father in the 1980, is now living in Greece. (not Alex, who had
worked for my father …)

Info: WA 08116876996 18

360 emails
b. I left some photos to be developed. Are they ready yet? (not I had left some phots…)
We use a past perfect, not simple past, to say how long something had continued up to a past
moment. A simple past perfect is used with “non- progressive verbs’ like be, have and know.
c. She told me that her father had been ill since the spring semester. (not … that her father was
ill since …)
d. I was sorry to sell my car. I had had it since college. (not ... I had it since college)
e. When they got married, they had known each other for 4 years. (not … they knew each other
for 4 years)
With most other verbs, we use the past perfect progressive for this meaning.
----
past perfect biasa hanya digunakan seperti yang telah dibahas pada email kemarin. Past perfect
tidak digunakan hanya karena ingin mengatakan sesuatu yang telah terjadi pada suatu masa di
masa lampau.
a. Alex, who worked for my father in the 1980, is now living in Greece. (bukan Alex, who had
worked for my father …)
b. I left some photos to be developed. Are they ready yet? (bukan I had left some phots…)
Kita gunakan past perfect, bukan simple past, untuk mengatakan berapa lama sesuatu telah
belangsung sampai pada masa lampau. past perfect is yang sederhana digunakan dengan kata
kerja “non- progressive” seperti be, have dan know.
c. She told me that her father had been ill since the spring semester. (bukan … that her father
was ill since …)
d. I was sorry to sell my car. I had had it since college. (bukan ... I had it since college)
e. When they got married, they had known each other for 4 years. (bukan … they knew each
other for 4 years)
Untuk kebanyakan kata kerja, kita gunakan past perfect progressive untuk makna seperti pada
contoh c-e.
Read the example c-e again to better understand the difference. I’ll see you tomorrow.
193. Meanings and forms of past perfect progressive
Forms: had + been + working

a. I had been working
b. They hadn’t been listening
c. Where had she been staying?
We use the past perfect progressive to talk about actions or situations which had continued up to
the past moment that we are thinking about, or shortly before it.
d. At that time, we had been living in the caravan for about six months.
e. When I found Mary, I could see that she had been crying.
f. I went to the doctor because I had been sleeping badly.
past perfect progressive: actions or situations which had continued up to the past moment that we
are thinking about, or shortly before it.
Look again to the example (f)
- I went to the doctor (simple past)

- I had been sleeping badly (earlier past)

The difference between progressive and simple
Progressive forms are mostly used to talk about more temporary actions and situations. When we
talk about longer-lasting or permanent situations we prefer simple forms. Compare:
g. My legs were stiff because I had been standing still for a long time.
h. The tree that blew down had stood there for 300 years.
Progressive forms generally emphasis the continuation of an activity; we use simple tenses to
emphasis the idea of completion. Compare:
- I had been reading science fiction, and my mind was full of strange images.
- I had read all my magazines, and was beginning to get bored.
Some verbs are not normally used in progressive forms, even if the meaning is one for which a
progressive form would more suitable.
i. I hadn’t known her for very long when we got married. (not I hadn’t been knowing her…)
---
Bentuk past perfect progressive: had + been + working
a. I had been working
b. They hadn’t been listening
c. Where had she been staying?
Kita gunakan past perfect progressive untuk bicara tentang perbuatan atau situasi yang telah
berlangsung sampai pada masa lampau yang kita bicarakan saat ini, atau sebelumnya.
d. At that time, we had been living in the caravan for about six months.
e. When I found Mary, I could see that she had been crying.
f. I went to the doctor because I had been sleeping badly.
past perfect progressive: parbuatan atau situasi yang telah berlangsung di masa lampau sampai di
pada masa lampau yang sedang dibicarakan.
Baca lagi contoh (f)
- I went to the doctor (masa lampau)
- I had been sleeping badly (masa lampau sebelumnya)
Perbedaan progressive dan simple
Bentuk Progressive sering kali digunakan untuk berbicara tentang kegiatan dan situasi yang lebih
singkat. Ketika kita berbicara tentang situasi permanen, kita menggunakan bentuk simple.
Bandingkan:
g. My legs were stiff because I had been standing still for a long time.
h. The tree that blew down had stood there for 300 years.
Bentuk Progressive umumnya menekankan keberlangsungan sebuah aktifitas; kita gunakan
bentuk simple untuk menekankan gagasan yang telah selesai. Bandingkan:
- I had been reading science fiction, and my mind was full of strange images.
- I had read all my magazines, and was beginning to get bored.

Beberapa kata kerja tidak biasa digunakan dalam bentuk progressive, walaupun jika salah satu
maknanya adalah bentuk progressive yang lebih cocok.
i. I hadn’t known her for very long when we got married. (bukan I hadn’t been knowing her…)
That’s it for today. see you tomorrow!
194. Past verb form with present or future meaning
A past tense does not always have a past meaning. In some kinds of sentence, we can use verbs
like I had, you went or I was wondering to talk about the present or future meaning.
- After conjunctions, instead of would
In most subordinate clauses (e.g. after if, supposing, wherever, what), we use past tenses (and not
would …) to express ‘unreal’ or conditional ideas.
a. If I had the money now I’d buy a car.
b. If you caught the ten o’clock train tomorrow, you would be in Edinburgh by supper time.
c. You look as if you were just about to scream.
d. Supposing we didn’t go on holiday next year?
e. In perfect world, you would be able to say exactly what you thought.
If we are talking about the past, we usually use past tenses even for things which are still true and
situations which still exist.
f. Are you deaf I asked how old you were?
g. I’m sorry we left Liverpool. It was such a nice place.
h. Do you remember that nice couple we met on holiday? They were German, weren’t they?
---
tensis past tidak selalu bermakna past (masa lampau). Dalam beberapa bentuk kalimat, kita
gunakan kata kerja seperti I had, you went atau I was wondering untuk mengungkapkan makna
present atau future.
Dalam klausa bawagan (seperti setelah if, supposing, wherever, what), kita gunaka tensis past
(kecuali would …) untuk mengungkapkan ‘yang tidak terjadi’ atau kalimat pengandaian.
a. If I had the money now I’d buy a car.
b. If you caught the ten o’clock train tomorrow, you would be in Edinburgh by supper time.
c. You look as if you were just about to scream.
d. Supposing we didn’t go on holiday next year?
e. In perfect world, you would be able to say exactly what you thought.
Jika kita sedang berfikir tantang masa lampau, kita biasanya menggunakan tensis past walaupun
pada sesuatu yang masih benar atau masih ada.
f. Are you deaf I asked how old you were?
g. I’m sorry we left Liverpool. It was such a nice place.
h. Do you remember that nice couple we met on holiday? They were German, weren’t they?
This is the end of our time on past tenses. Tomorrow we’ll be looking at confused usage in
English.

We use please to make requests more polite.
a. Could I have some more rice, please?
Note that please does not change an order into a request. Compare:
b. Stand over there. (order)
c. Please stand over there (more polite order)
d. Could you stand over there, please (polite request)
Please do is a rather formal answer to a request for permission.

- Thank you and thanks

Thanks is more informal than thank you. Common expressions:
f. Thank you (not thanks you)
g. Thanks a lot (not thank you a lot)
h. Thank god it’s Friday. (not thanks god …)
Indeed can be used to strengthen very much.
i. Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you for / thanks for can be followed by an –ing form. Possessives are unnecessary and are
not used.
j. Thank you for coming. – not at all. Thank you for having me. (not thank you for your
coming).
---
Penggunaan please
- Untuk meminta
Kita gunakan please untuk membuar permintaan lebih sopan.
a. Could I have some more rice, please?
Ingat bahwa please tidak merubah perintah menjadi permintaan. Bandingkan:
b. Stand over there. (perintah)
c. Please stand over there (perintah yang lebih sopan)
d. Could you stand over there, please (permintaan yang sopan)
Please do adalah jawaban yang sangat formal untuk permintaan ijin.

That’s for today. I’ll see you tomorrow for more extra lesson.
196. Politeness in English: Polite requests
We usually ask people to do things for us by making yes/no questions. (this suggests that the
hearer can choose whether to agree or not.)
a. Could you tell me the time, please? (much more polite than please tell me the time.)
Some other typical structures used in requests:
b. Could you possibly tell me the way to the station? (very polite)
c. Would you mind switching on the TV?
d. Would you like to help me for a few minutes?
e. You couldn’t lend me some money, could you? (informal)
Indirect yes/no questions are also used in polite requests.
f. I wonder if you could (possibly) help me for a few minutes.
---
Kita sering menyuruh orang untuk melakukan sesuatu kepada/ untuk kita dengan membuat
pertanyaan yes/no. (ini menyarankan bahwa pendengar bisa memilih baik setuju atau tidak
membantu.)
a. Could you tell me the time, please? (lebih sopan dari pada “tell me the time”)
Beberapa struktur umum digunakan dalam meminta:

197. Politeness in English: Telling people to do things
If we use other structure (for example imperatives, should, had better), we are not asking people
to do things, but telling or advising them to do things. These structures can therefore seem rude if
we use them in requests, especially in conversation with strangers or people we don’t know well.
Please makes an order or instruction a little more polite, but not turn it into a request. The

following structures can be used perfectly correctly to give orders, instructions or advise, but they
are not polite ways of requesting people to do things.
a. Please answer by return of post.
b. Please help me for a few minutes
c. Help me, would you?
d. You ought to tell me your plans
e. You should shut the door.
f. You had better help me.
---
Berbicara sopan dalam Bahasa Inggris: menyuruh orang mengerjakan sesuatu
Jika kita gunakan struktur lain (seperti should, had better), kita tidak meminta orang melakukan
sesuatu, tapi menyuruh atau menyarankan mereka melakukan sesuatu. Struktur seperti ini terlihat
kasar jika kita gunakannya untuk meminta, khususnya pada percakapan dengan orang asing atau
orang yang belum kita kenal. Please membuat perintah atau instruksi lebih sopan, tetapi tidak
membuatnya menjadi permintaan. Struktur berikut ini bisa digunakan untuk memberi perintah,
instruksi atau saran, tetapi tidak sopan untuk meminta orang melakukan sesuatu.
a. Please answer by return of post.
b. Please help me for a few minutes
c. Help me, would you?
d. You ought to tell me your plans
e. You should shut the door.
f. You had better help me.
That’s for today. I’ll see you tomorrow. see ya!
198. Politeness in English
Using past tenses:
We can make requests (and also questions, suggestions and statements) less direct (and so more
polite) by using verb forms that suggest ‘distance’ form the immediate present reality. Past tenses
are often used to do this.
a. How much did you want to spend, sir? (meaning ‘how much do you want to spend?’)
b. How many days did you intend to stay? (meaning … do you intend …)
c. I wondered if you were free this evening.
Politeness with progressive
Progressive forms can be used in the same way. They sound more casual and less definite than
simple forms, because they suggest something temporary and incomplete.
d. I’m hoping you can lend me the book. (less definite than I hope…)
e. What time are you planning to arrive? (more casual-sounding than please let us know what
time you plan to arrive…)
Politeness with future tenses

Another way to distance something is to displace it into the future. Will need/have to can be used
to soften instructions and orders.

f. I’m afraid you’ll need to fill in this form.

g. I’ll have to ask you to wait a minute.
And will is sometimes used to say how much money is owed.
h. That will be 1.5 million rupiahs, please.
Future progressive verbs are often used to enquire politely about people’s plans
i. Will you be going away at the weekend?
---
Menggunakan past tense untuk mengungkapkan kesopanan:
Kita bisa meminta (dan juga bertanya, saran dan pernyataan) tidak secara langsung (dan lebih
sopan) dengan menggunakan bentuk kata kerja yang menyiratkan ‘jarak’ dari kejadian masa
sekarang. Past tense sering digunakan untuk mengatakan hal ini.
a. How much did you want to spend, sir? (artinya ‘how much do you want to spend?’)
b. How many days did you intend to stay? (artinya … do you intend …)
c. I wondered if you were free this evening.
Ungkapan kesopanan dengan progressive
Bentuk Progressive bisa digunakan seperti halnya diatas. Ia terdengar lebih kasual dan tidak
terlalu jelas dari bentuk simple, karena ia menyiratkan sesuatu yang sementara dan tidak selesai.
d. I’m hoping you can lend me the book. (kurang yakin daripada I hope…)
e. What time are you planning to arrive? (lebih kasual daripada please let us know what time
you plan to arrive…)
Ungkapan kesopanan dengan bentuk future tenses
Cara lain untuk memberi jarak terhadap sesuatu ialah melalui menempatkan sesuatu kepada masa
depan. Will need/have to bisa digunakan untuk meringatkan instruksi dan perintah.
f. I’m afraid you’ll need to fill in this form.
g. I’ll have to ask you to wait a minute.
Dan will digunakan untuk mengungkapkan berapa banyak uang yang kamu pinjam.
h. That will be 1.5 million rupiahs, please.
Kata kerja Future progressive sering digunakan untuk bertanya secara sopan tentang rencana
orang lain.
i. Will you be going away at the weekend?
199. Casual politeness
Softening expressions using quite, maybe, I think

We can express our opinions and intentions less directly (and therefore more politely) by using
softening expressions like quite, rather, kind of, a bit, maybe etc.
a. He’s quite difficult to understand, isn’t he?
b. I find her rather bossy, don’t you?

e. I think I’ll go to bed in a few minutes.

g. I’d quite like to start thinking about going home.
In formal style, requests, invitations suggestions etc. are often introduced by would like instead of
being expressed directly.
h. We would like to invite you to give a talk to our seminar.
i. I’d like to suggest that we take a vote.
j. I would like to congratulate you on our examination results.
----
Ekspresi lembut menggunakan quite, maybe, I think
Kita bisa mengekspresikan opini atau niat secara tidak langsung (maka menjadi lebih sopan)
dengan menggunakan ekspresi lembut seperti quite, rather, kind of, a bit, maybe dll.
a. He’s quite difficult to understand, isn’t he?
b. I find her rather bossy, don’t you?
c. The food’s a bit expensive
d. The music’s kind of boring
Kita bisa mengatakan jika kita sedang berfikir akan sesuatu, daripada mengekspresikan niat kita
secara langsung.
e. I think I’ll go to bed in a few minutes.
f. I’m thinking of going to London tomorrow.
g. I’d quite like to start thinking about going home.
Dalam gaya informal, permintaan, undangan, saran dll. Sering dimulai dengan would like
daripada mengungkapkannya sacara langsung.
h. We would like to invite you to give a talk to our seminar.

200. Preparatory in daily conversation
When the subject of a clause is an infinitive expression, this does not normally come at the
beginning. We usually prefer to start with the ‘preparatory subject’ it, and to put the infinitive
expression later (long or complicated items often put towards the end of a sentence). Preparatory
it is common before be + adjective/noun
a. It’s nice to talk to you. (more natural than to talk to you is nice.)
b. It was stupid of you to leave the door unlocked.
c. It’s important to book in advance.

of a sentence.

- Forms
Have/has + past participle
a. I have broken my glasses

b. Have you finished?
- Meaning and use
We use the present perfect specially to say that a finished action or event is
connected with the present I some way. If we say that something has happened,
we are thinking about the past and the present at the same time.
a. I can’t go on holiday because I have broken my leg. (not I can’t go on holiday

because I broke my leg.)
We could often change a present perfect sentence into a present sentence with a
similar meaning.
b. I’ve broken my leg. – my leg is broken now.

c. Some fool has let the cat in. – the cat is in.
d. Mary has had a baby. Mary now has a baby.
The present perfect is often used to express the idea of completion or

aachievement.
e. At last! I’ve finished it!

f. Have you done all the housework?
We do not use the present perfect if we are not thinking about the present.
Compare:
g. I’ve travelled in Africa a lot (similar to I know Africa)

h. Some people thing that Shakespeare travelled a lot in Germany. (not some
people thing that Shakespeare has travelled …)

- Makna dan penggunaan
Kita gunakan present perfect khususnya untuk mengatakan jika susuatu kejadian
telah selesai atau masih berefek ke masa sekarang. Jika kita katakana sesuatu
telah terjadi, kita sedang berfikir tentang masa lampau dan masa sekarang pada
waktu yang bersamaan.
a. I can’t go on holiday because I have broken my leg. (bukan I can’t go on

holiday because I broke my leg.)
Kita bisa mengganti kalimat present perfect menjadi kalimat present dengan
makna yang sama.
b. I’ve broken my leg. – my leg is broken now.

c. Some fool has let the cat in. – the cat is in.
d. Mary has had a baby. Mary now has a baby.
Present perfect sering digunakan untuk mengekspresikan kesan ‘sudah selesai’

atau ‘pencapaian’.
e. At last! I’ve finished it!

f. Have you done all the housework?
Kita tidak menggunakan present perfect jika kita tidak berfikir tentang present
(masa sekarang). Bandingkan:
g. I’ve travelled in Africa a lot (sama dengan I know Africa)

h. Some people thing that Shakespeare travelled a lot in Germany. (bukan some
people thing that Shakespeare has travelled …)
Study all examples again. I’ll see you tomorrow for more lessons.
203. Present perfect: time words
When we talk about finished events with words that mean ‘at some/any time up
to now’ (like ever, before, never, yet, recently, lately, already), we normally use the
present perfect.
 Have you ever seen a ghost?
 I’m sure we’ve met before
 We haven’t seen Josh recently.
We use the present perfect to say that something has happened several times up to
the present.
 I’ve written six letters since lunchtime.
Adverbs of frequency like often, sometimes, occasionally are common with the
present perfect.

 Wow often have you been in love in your life?

 I’ve sometimes thought of moving to Australia.

the simple present perfect and the present perfect progressive are possible
(depending on the kind of verb and the exact meaning.)
 I’ve known her for ears.

 I’ve been thinking about you all day.
---
Ketika kita berbicara tentang kejadian yang telah selesai dengan kata-kata yang
bermakna ‘pada suatu saat sampai saat ini’ (seperti ever, before, never, yet, recently,
lately, already), kita biasanya menggunakan present perfect.
 Have you ever seen a ghost?
 I’m sure we’ve met before
 We haven’t seen Josh recently.
Kita gunakan present perfect untuk mengatakan bahwa sesuatu telah terjadi
beberapa kali sampai masa sekarang.
 I’ve written six letters since lunchtime.
Kata keterangan seperti often, sometimes, occasionally sangat sering digunakan

dalam bentuk present perfect.
 Wow often have you been in love in your life?

 I’ve sometimes thought of moving to Australia.
Untuk berbicara tentang perilaku atau kejadian yang telah berlanjut sampai ke
masa sekarang, kedua tensis, present perfect dan present perfect progressive,
boleh digunakan. (tergantung pada jenis kata kerja dan maknanya.)
 I’ve known her for ears.

 I’ve been thinking about you all day.

 My sister has learnt French. (she can speak French now.)

 Shakespeare probably learnt Italian. (not Shakespeare has probably learnt
Italian)
We do not use the present perfect in story-telling
 Once upon a time a beautiful princess fell in love with a poor farmer. (not …
has fallen in love…)
Remember! Thinking about the past and present together: present perfect
 My sister has learnt French. (= she can speak French now)
Only thinking about the past: simple past
 Shakespeare probably learnt Italian
- Finished-time words: present perfect not used
We do not often use the present perfect with words that refer to a completely
finished period of time, like yesterday, last week, then, when, three years ago, in 1999.
This is because the present perfect focuses on the present, and words like these
focus on the past, so they contradict each other. Compare:
 Have you see Lucy anywhere?

I saw Lucy yesterday. (not I have seen Lucy yesterday.)
 All my friends have moved to London.
Erich moved three years ago. (not Eric has moved three years ago.)

- Berfikir tentang masa lampau dan masa sekarang.

masa sekarang bersamaan. Kita tidak gunakan present perfect jika kita tidak
sedang berfikir tentang masa sekarang. Bandingkan:

 Shakespeare probably learnt Italian. (bukan Shakespeare has probably learnt
Italian)
Kita tidak gunakan present perfect dalam bercerita.

 Shakespeare probably learnt Italian
- Kapan present perfect tidak digunakan.
Kita tidak gunakan present perfect dengan kata-kata yang menunjukkan

masa/waktu yang telah selesai seperti, yesterday, last week, then, when, three years
ago, in 1999. Ini karena present perfect fokus pada masa sekarang, dan kata-kata
diatas hanya fokus pada masa lampau. Jadi, kata-kata itu berlawanan dengan
present dan past. bandingkan:
 Have you see Lucy anywhere?

I saw Lucy yesterday. (bukan I have seen Lucy yesterday.)
 All my friends have moved to London.
Erich moved three years ago. (bukan Eric has moved three years ago.)
205. Questions tags: basic information
---
- What are questions tags?

Question tags are the small questions the often come at the ends of sentences in
speech, and sometimes in informal writing.
 The film wasn’t very good, was it?
Negatives are usually contracted. Full forms are possible in formal speech.
 That’s the postman, isn’t it?

 You take sugar in tea, don’t you?
 They promised to repay us within six months, did they not? (formal)
Questions tags can be used to check whether something is true, or to ask for
agreement.
- Using question tags
Question tags are used after affirmative and negative sentences, but not after
questions.
 You’re the new secretary aren’t you?

 You’re not the new secretary, are you? (Not are you the new secretary, aren’t
you?)
To check information or ask for agreement, we most often put negative tags after
affirmative sentences, and non-negative tags after negative sentences.

Question tags with auxiliaries
If the main sentence has an auxiliary verb (or non-auxiliary be), this is repeated in
the question tag.
 Sally can speak French, can’t she?

 The meeting’s at then, isn’t it?
 You wouldn’t like a puppy, would you?
If the main sentence has no auxiliary, the question tag has do.
 You like oysters, don’t you?

 Harry gave you a check, didn’t he?

- Apa itu questions tags?

Question tag adalah pertanyaan kecil yang sering datang di akhir kalimat dalam
percakapan, dan terkadang juga digunakan dalam tulisan informal.
 The film wasn’t very good, was it?
Kata negatif selalu di singkat. Bentuk sempurnanya juga bisa digunakan dalam
penggunaan formal.
 That’s the postman, isn’t it?

 You take sugar in tea, don’t you?
 They promised to repay us within six months, did they not? (formal)
Questions tags bisa digunakan untuk mengecek apakah sesuatu itu benar, atau
ingin bertanya persetujuan.
- menggunakan question tag

Question tag digunakan setelah kalimat positif dan kalimat negatif, tetapi tidak
digunakan setelah pertanyaan.
 You’re the new secretary aren’t you?

 You’re not the new secretary, are you? (bukan are you the new secretary,
aren’t you?)
Untuk mengecek informasi atau meminta persetujuan, kita sering menggunakan

kalimat negative setelah kalimat positif, dan sebaliknya.
- Question tags dengan kata bantu
Jika kalimat utama memiliki kata kerja bantu (atau be), question tag nya di ulang.
 Sally can speak French, can’t she?

 The meeting’s at then, isn’t it?
 You wouldn’t like a puppy, would you?

email.
206. More on question tags
Non-negative tags are used after sentences containing negative words like never,
no, nobody, hardly, scarcely, and little.
 You never say what you’re thinking, do you (not … don’t you?)
 It’s hardly rained at all this summer, has it?
 There’s little we can do about it, is there?
In speech, we can show the exact meaning of a question tag by the intonation. If
the tag is real question – if we really want to know something and are not sure of
the answer – we use a rising intonation: the voice goes up.
 The meeting is at four o’clock, isn’t it?
If the tag is not a real question – if we are sure of the answer – we use a falling
intonation: the voice goes down.
 It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?
In writing, the exact meaning of a question tag is normally clear form the context.
We often ask for help or information by using the structure negative statement +
question tag.
 You couldn’t lend me a money, could you?

 You haven’t seen my watch anywhere, have you?
----
Question tag yang tidak negatif digunaka setelah kalimat yang mengandung kata
bermakna negatif seperti never, no, nobody, hardly, scarcely, dan little.
 You never say what you’re thinking, do you (bukan … don’t you?)
 It’s hardly rained at all this summer, has it?
 There’s little we can do about it, is there?
Dalam percakapan, kita bisa menunjukkan makna sebenarnya dari sebuah

question tag berdasarkan intonasi. Jika tag nya digunakan untuk bertanya – jika
kita betul-betul ingin tahu jawaban dan tidak yakin jawabannya – kita gunakan
intonasi naik:
 The meeting is at four o’clock, isn’t it? (suara naik)

Will, would, can, could you? Can all be used to tell or ask people to do things
 Give me your money, will you?
Can’t you expresses impatient
 Shut up, can’t you?
After negative imperative, we use will you?

We use it in question tags to refer to nothing and everything.
 Nothing can happen, can it?
We use they to refer to nobody, somebody and everybody (and no one)
 Nobody came, did they?

Note the use of question tags in sentences beginning with I (don’t) think and
similar expression
 I think he’s Norwegian, isn’t he? (not … don’t I?)

secara sopan untuk melakukan sesuatu.
 Come in, won’t you?
Will, would, can, could you? Semuanya bisa digunakan untuk menyuruk atau
meminta orang melakukan sesuatu.
 Give me your money, will you?
Can’t you mengekspresikan ketidaksabaran.
 Shut up, can’t you?
Setelah kalimat perintah negatif, kita gunakan will you?

 Nothing can happen, can it?
Kita gunakan they untuk menunjukkan nobody, somebody dan everybody (dan juga
no one)
 Nobody came, did they?

 Somebody wanted a drink, didn’t they?
Perhatikan penggunaan question tag dalam kalimat yang dimulai dengan I

(don’t) think dan ekspresi lainnya yang sama.
 I think he’s Norwegian, isn’t he? (bukan … don’t I?)

 I don’t think it will rain, will it? (bukan … do i?)
 I suppose you’re hungry, aren’t you?
208. More on question tags (advanced points)
Non-negative question tags are quite common after affirmative sentences. These
are often used as responses to something that has been said, like ‘reply question’
– the speaker repeats what he/she has just heard or learnt, and uses the tag to
express interest, surprise, concern or some other reaction.
 So you’re getting married, are you? How nice!
 So she thinks she’s going to become a doctor, does she?
 You think you’re funny, do you?
‘same-way’ tags can also be used to ask questions. In this structure, we use the
main sentence to make a guess, and then ask (in the tag) if it was correct.
 Your mother’s at home, is she?

 This is the last but, is it?

 You can eat shellfish, can you?
I’ll … shall I? can be used to make offers.
 I’ll hold that for you, shall I?
Negative ‘same-way’ tags are occasionally heard; they usually sound aggressive.
 I see. You don’t like my cooking, don’t you?
In sentences with question tags, it is quite common to leave out pronoun subject
and auxiliary verbs. This is called ‘ellipsis’.
 (it’s a) nice day, isn’t it?

 She was talking to my husband, was she?
In very informal speech, a question tag can sometimes be used after a question
with ellipsis.
 Have a good time, did you?

 Your mother at home, is he?
---
Tag question yang bukan negatif sangat sering digunakan setelah kalimat positif.
Ini digunakan sebagai tanggapan terhadap sesuatu yang telah dikatakan, seperti
‘pertanyaan yang diulang’ – orang mengulang apa yang didengar dan
menggunakan question tag untuk menunjukkan suka, terkejut, prihatin atau
reaksi laiinnya.
 So you’re getting married, are you? How nice!
 So she thinks she’s going to become a doctor, does she?
 You think you’re funny, do you?
Question tag ‘yang sama’ bisa digunakan untuk bertanya. Dalam bentuk ini, kita
gunakan kalimat utama untuk menduka, dan kemudian bertanya (dengan
question tag) jika pertanyaan nya benar.
 Your mother’s at home, is she?

 This is the last but, is it?
 You can eat shellfish, can you?
I’ll … shall I? bisa digunakan untuk membuat saran.
 I’ll hold that for you, shall I?

Question tag ‘yang sama’ negatif sering kali terdengar kasar.
 I see. You don’t like my cooking, don’t you?

Dalam kalimat dengan question tag, biasanya kata ganti dan kata bantu di
buang, ‘ellipsis’ namanya.
 (it’s a) nice day, isn’t it?

 She was talking to my husband, was she?
Dalam percakapan yang sangat informal, question tag bisa digunakan setelah
pernyaan dengan ellipsis.
 Have a good time, did you?

 Your mother at home, is he?
209. Using correct and natural English.
Avoidance of repetition
In English, unnecessary repetition is usually considered to be a bad thing. Careful
writers generally try not to use the same words and structures in successive
clauses and sentences without a good reason; when expressions are repeated, it is
often for deliberate emphasis or other stylistic purposes. Casual repetition is
more common in informal language, but even in conversation people often
sound monotonous or clumsy if they do not vary their sentence structure and
vocabulary. Some kinds of repetition are actually ungrammatical in both writing
and speech.
Unnatural repetition
When we refer again to a person or thing that has already been mentioned, we
normally use a pronoun instead of repeating the original noun phrase. When the
reference is very close to the original mention, repetition (unless there is a special
reason for it) is usually not only unnatural, but ungrammatical.
 What’s Rachel doing here? – she wants to talk to you. (not … Rachel wants to
talk to you)
 We got that cat because the children wanted it. (not we got that cat because the
children wanted that cat.)
 Dad’s just cut himself shaving. (not dad’s just cut dad shaving.)
This kind of thing happens with other words beside nouns.
 I don’t smoke. – I do (not … I smoke)

 Do you know if the bank’s open? I think so. (not I think the bank’s open)
However, repetition is necessary and normal when alternatives are discussed.
 Would you rather have potatoes or rice? – rice, please.

 Shall we dance or go for a walk? – let’s go for a walk.

Dalam Bahasa Inggris, pengulangan yang tidak perlu dianggap hal yang buruk.
Penulis umumnya mencoba tidak menggunakan kata dan struktu yang sama
dalam kalimat dan klausa tanpa alasan yang jelas. Ketika suatu ekspresi diulang,
biasanya untuk menegaskan atau untuk tujuan gaya Bahasa. Pengulangan lebih
umum pada percakapan informal, tapi dalam percakapan orang tedengan
monoton jika mereka tidak membedakan penggunaan struktur kalimat dan
kosakata. Beberapa pengulangan ternyata salah dalam percakapan dan dalam
tulisan formal.
Pengulangan yang tidak natural

Ketika kita merujuk kembali pada orang atau benda yang telah disebutkan
sebelumnya, kita menggunakan kata ganti bukan mengulangi kata bendanya.
 What’s Rachel doing here? – she wants to talk to you. (bukan … Rachel wants
to talk to you)
 We got that cat because the children wanted it. (buka we got that cat because the
children wanted that cat.)
 Dad’s just cut himself shaving. (bukan dad’s just cut dad shaving.)
Ini juga berlaku pada kata lain selain kata benda.
 I don’t smoke. – I do (bukan … I smoke)

 Do you know if the bank’s open? I think so. (Bukan I think the bank’s open)
namun, pengulangan perlu dan normal saat terdapan opsi/ pilihan.
 Would you rather have potatoes or rice? – rice, please.

 Shall we dance or go for a walk? – let’s go for a walk.
210. Don’t duplicate subjects and/or objects
We do not very often repeat a subject or object with the same verb.
 That wall needs painting. (more normal than that wall, it needs painting.)
 I saw my uncle yesterday. (more normal that My uncle, I saw him yesterday)
however, this kind of repetition can happen in informal speech, when people
announce a topic and then make a sentence about it.
 That friend of your mother’s – he’s on the phone.

 Those bicycle wheels – I think we ought to put them in the garden shed.
And sometimes a pronoun subject is repeated by a noun phrase ‘tag’ after the
sentence.
 She’s a clever girl, your daughter.

We usually avoid putting related verbs and nouns together.

 We made wonderful plans. Or we planned wonderful things. (but not. We

 She wrote an interesting paper. Or she did an interesting piece of writing. (but
not she wrote an interesting piece of writing)
There are some fixed expressions which are exceptions (e.g. to sing a song, To live a
good life, To die a violent death).
Speakers and writers can of course repeat vocabulary and structures deliberately.
This may be done for emphasis.
 I’m very, very sorry.

 I want every room cleaned – every single room.
Repeating somebody else’s words may show surprise or disbelief.
 I’m getting married. – you’re getting married? Who to?

---
Kita tidak mengulang subjek atau objek dengan kata kerja yang sama.
 That wall needs painting. (lebih normal daripada that wall, it needs painting.)
 I saw my uncle yesterday. (lebih normal daripada My uncle, I saw him
yesterday)
Namun, pengulangan yang seperti ini boleh ada dalam percakapan informal,
ketika orang membawa sebuah topik dan membuat kalimat tentang itu.
 That friend of your mother’s – he’s on the phone.

 Those bicycle wheels – I think we ought to put them in the garden shed.
Dan terkadang kata ganti subjek diulang dengan kata benda ‘tag’ setelah
kaliamat.
 She’s a clever girl, your daughter.
Kita biasanya menghindari meletakkan kata kerja dan kata benda yang sama
bersamaan.
 We made wonderful plans. atau we planned wonderful things. (bukan. We

planned wonderful plans)
 She wrote an interesting paper. atau she did an interesting piece of writing.
(bukan she wrote an interesting piece of writing)
Ada terdapat ekspresi tetap yang dikecualikan. (seperti to sing a song, To live a
good life, To die a violent death).
Orang bisa mengulang kata dan struktur dengan sengaja. Ini dilakukan untuk
menegaskan.
 I’m very, very sorry.

211. Sentence structure (basic word order)
Subject – verb – object/ complement

In an affirmative sentence, the subject normally comes before the verb; objects or
complements come after the verb.
 Ann smiled.
 My father likes cats
 Anton is a doctor
In a few affirmative structures the verb can come before the subject (e.g. so can I,
in came Mrs. Parker)
Preparatory it and there

When the subject or object is an infinitive phrase or clause, we often put it at the
end of a sentence, and use it as a preparatory subject or object.
 It’s difficult to understand what he wants.

 She made it clear that she disagreed.
There can be a preparatory subject for an indefinite expression
 There is a big spider in the bath.

Direct and indirect objects
Indirect objects can some before direct objects (without a preposition) or after
direct objects (with a proposition).
 She sent the nurse some flowers.

 She sent some flowers to the nurse
---
Subject – verb – object/ complement
Dalam kalimat positif, subjek biasanya datang sebelum kata kerja; objek atau
pelengkap datang setelah kata kerja.
 Ann smiled.
 My father likes cats
 Anton is a doctor
Dalam beberapa struktuk kalimat positif kata kerja bisa dang sebelum subjek.
(contohnya, so can I, in came Mrs. Parker)

it dan there yang didahulukan

ketika subjek atau objek dalam bentuk klausa atau frasa infinitif, kita sering
meletakkanya di akhir kalimat, dan menggunakan it sebagai subjek atau objek
yang didahulukan.
 It’s difficult to understand what he wants.

 She made it clear that she disagreed.
There bisa juga menjadi subjek yang didahulukan.
 There is a big spider in the bath.

Objek langsung dan tidak langsung
Objek tidak langsung bisa datang sebelum objek langsung (tanpa preposisi) atau
setelah objek langsung (dengan preposisi).
 She sent the nurse some flowers.

 She sent some flowers to the nurse

212. Sentence structure (information structure)
Different ways of organizing information

When we talk about a situation, we can usually organize the information in
various ways – for example, by choosing different elements of the situation as the
subject of a clause or sentence.
 The storm blew my roof off.
 My roof was blown off in the storm.
 I had my roof blown off in the storm.
The way we choose to organize information in a clause or sentence can depend

on what has been said before, on what the listener already knows, or on what we
want to emphasize. This is a complicated area of English grammar. We will see
some guidelines below.
Normal order: important new information last
Most often, a clause or sentence moves from ‘known’ to ‘new’: from low to high
information value. So we often choose as the subject a person or thing that is
already being talked about or that has already been metioned, or something that
the speaker and hearer are both familiar with, or even some new information that
is not the main point of the message. The important new information generally
comes at the end of a clause or sentence.
 How’s Joe these days? – oh, fine. He’s just got married to a very nice gilr.
(more natural than… a very nice girl’s just got married to him.)

 Our dog bit the postman this morning. (more natural than … the postman

To avoid beginning a clause with a completely new element, we can use the there
is structure.
 There’s a cat on the roof. (more natural than a cat’s on the roof)
---
Cara-cara menyusun informasi dalam kalimat.

Ketika kita berbicara tentang suatu situasi, kita biasanya menyusun informasi
dengan berbagai cara – contohnya, dengan memilih elemen berbeda dari suatu
situasi sebagai subjek dari sebuah klausa atau sebuah kalimat.
 I had my roof blown off in the storm.
Cara kita memilih untuk menyusun infromasi dalam sebua klausa atau kalimat
bergantung pada apa yang telah dikatakan sebelumnya, pada apa yang
pendengar ketahui, atau pada apa yang ingin ditekankan. Hal ini adalah bagian
yang susah dalam tata bahasa Bahasa Inggris. Kita akan melihat aturannya untuk
beberapa email kedepannya.
Urutan Normal: informasi baru yang penting datang terakhir.
Sering kali, sebuah klausa atau kalimat berganti dari ‘diketahui’ menjadi ‘baru’:
dari informasi tidak penting menjadi penting. Kita memilih orang atau benda
menjadi subjek yang sedang dibicarakan atau yang telah disebutkan, atau yang
penutur dan pendengar sama-sama mengerti. Informasi baru yang penting
umumnya datang di akhir klausa atau kalimat.
 How’s Joe these days? – oh, fine. He’s just got married to a very nice gilr.
(lebih umum daripada… a very nice girl’s just got married to him.)
 My father was bitten by a dog last week. (lebih natural daripada … a dog bit
my father last week.)
 Our dog bit the postman this morning. (lebih natural daripada … the
postman was bitten by our dog this morning)
Untuk menghindari memulai sebuah klausa dengan informasi baru, kita bisa
menggunakan sturktur there is.
 There’s a cat on the roof. (lebih natural daripada… a cat is on the roof)
213. Sentence structure: (the right subject)

Info: WA 08116876996 21

360 emails
Getting the right subject: active, passives
In many situations, there is an ‘agent’ (the person or thing who does something)
and a ‘patient’ (the person or thing that something is done to). If we want to make
the agent the subject, we can usually do this by choosing an active verb form.
 Somebody’s dropped ketchup all over the floor.
If we want to make the patient the subject, we can usually do this by choosing a
passive verb form.

 Ketchup has been dropped all over the floor.
If we want to make something else the subject, we can often do this by using a
structure with have + object + past participle.
 She had her roof blown off in the storm.

 The floor has had ketchup dropped all over it.
Structures with have are often used to ‘personalize’ a situation by making a

person the subject.
 I’ve got the house full of children. (instead of the house is full of children. Or
there are children all over the house.)
We can often get the subject we want by choosing the right verb. Compare:
 The biscuit factory employs 7000 people.

7000 people work for the biscuit factory.
 He led the children through the silent streets
The children followed him through the silent streets.
Some verbs can have both agent and patient subject.
 She opened the door

 The door opened
---
Membuat subjek yang sesuai: aktif, pasif.
Dalam beberapa situasi, terdapan ‘agen’ (orang atau benda yang melakukan
sesuatu) dan ada ‘pasien’ (orang atau benda yang terkena sesuatu). Jika kita ingin
membuat ‘agen’ menjadi subjek, kita biasanya menggunakan bentuk kata kerja
aktif.
 Somebody’s dropped ketchup all over the floor.

Jika kita ingin membuat ‘pasien’ menjadi subjek, kita menggunakan bentuk pasif.

 Ketchup has been dropped all over the floor.
Jika kita ingin membuat sesuatu yang lain menjadi subjek, kita bisa menggunaan
struktur have + object + past participle.
 she had her roof blown off in the storm.

 The floor has had ketchup dropped all over it.
Struktur dengan have sering digunakan untuk ‘membuat personal’ sebuah situasi
dengan membuat orang menjadi subjek kalimat.
 I’ve got the house full of children. (daripada… the house is full of children. Or
there are children all over the house.)
Kita bisa membuat subjek yang kita mau dengan memilih kata kerja yang benar.
Bandingkan:
 The biscuit factory employs 7000 people.

7000 people work for the biscuit factory.
 He led the children through the silent streets
The children followed him through the silent streets.
Ada beberapa kata kerja yang bisa digunakan dengan ‘agen’ dan juga ‘pasien’.

 The door opened
214. Sentence structure: (longer and more advanced)
Longer and heavier structures usually come last in a clause or sentence. (these
usually have the highest ‘information value’ in any case).
 Children are sometimes discouraged by the length of time it takes to learn a
musical instrument. (more natural than – the length of time it takes to learn a
musical instrument sometimes discourages children).
Because of this, we often use a structure with ‘preparatory it’ in order to move a
clause or infinitive subject or objet to the end of a sentence.
 It worried me that she hadn’t been in touch for so long. (more natural than –
that she hadn’t been in touch for so long worried me)
 It’s important to tell use everything you know. (more natural than – to tell us
everything you know is important)
Adverbs do not normally separate the verb form the object in an English clause.
However, a very long and heavy object may come after a shorter adverb.

 I’m not sure what is the point of spending hours and hours discussing this.

Struktur yang lebih panjang dan susah biasanya datang terakhir dalam sebuah
klausa atau kalimat. (struktur seperti ini biasanya memiliki ‘nilai informasi’
lebih)
 Children are sometimes discouraged by the length of time it takes to learn a
musical instrument. (lebih natural daripada – the length of time it takes to learn a
musical instrument sometimes discourages children).
Jadi, kita boleh menggunakan sturktur ‘preparatory it’ untuk mengubah sebuah
subjek klausa atau infinitif atau juga objek ke akhir kalimat.
 It worried me that she hadn’t been in touch for so long. (lebih natural
daripada – that she hadn’t been in touch for so long worried me)
 It’s important to tell use everything you know. (lebih natural daripada – to tell
us everything you know is important)
Kata keterangan pada dasarnya tidak memisahkan kata kerja dengan objek
dalam Bahasa Inggris. Namun, objek yang panjang dan susah mungkin saja
datang setelah kata keterangan. Bandingkan:
 She plays the violin very well (bukan she plays very well the violin.)
 She lays very well almost any instrument that you can think of and several
that you can’t
End-weight (fokus di akhir) bisa merubah urutan kata dalam kalimat pertanyaan
tidak langsung. Bandingkan:
 I’m not sure what the point is.

 I’m not sure what is the point of spending hours and hours discussing this.
215. Fronting in spoken English. (another sentence structure)

 All the other information which you need I am putting in the post today.
 Any video in our catalogue we can supply, if available.
Fronting is particularly common in speech.
 People like that I just can’t stand.
Fronting words in short sentences can also give them extra emphasis. This
happens mostly in speech.
 Strange people they are!

 Very good lesson we had yesterday.
In a few exclamatory expressions, a noun is fronted before that, but this is

uncommon in modern English.
 Fool that I was!
Fronted adjectives and adverbs are possible in a structure with as or though
 Young as I was, I realized what was happening.

 Fast though she drove, she could not catch them.

216. Spoken structures and tags.
In informal speech, we often ‘space out’ the different elements of a sentence,

giving the hearer a little extra time to interpret each part before going on to the
next.
 Last Wednesday it was, I was just going to work…
 It’s terrible, you know, the unemployment down there.
One way of spacing out information is to separate a subject or object, announce it

at the front of a sentence, and then repeat it with a pronoun.
 This guy who rang up, he’s an architect.

 One of my brother, his wife’s a singer, …
This does not usually happen with pronoun subjects, but me and myself are
occasionally detached and fronted.
 Me, I don’t care

 Myself, I think you’re making a big mistake.
Another common way of separating part of a sentence is to introduce it with you

know.
 You know Silvia. She’s pregnant.
Emphasizing tags
Sometimes a tag gives no new information, but simply repeats and emphasizes
the subject and verb.
 You’ve gone mad, you have.

 I’m getting fed up, I am.
Pronounces are not usually used alone in tags, except for reflexives.

Dalam percakapan informal, kita sering ‘memberi jarak’ untuk elemen berbeda
dalam sebuah kalimat, untuk memberi pendengar beberapa waktu untuk
menelaah setiap bagian kalimat sebelum melanjutkan pada bagian selanjutnya.
 Last Wednesday it was, I was just going to work…
 It’s terrible, you know, the unemployment down there.
Salah satu cara memberi informasi jarak dengan memisahkan subjek atau objek,
tenpatkan subjek atau objek di depan dan ulangi lagi dengan menggunakan kata
pengganti.
 This guy who rang up, he’s an architect.

 One of my brother, his wife’s a singer, …
Hal ini tidak sering digunakan dengan kata ganti subjek, tetapi me dan myself
sering dipisahkan dan dibawa kedepan (fronted).
 Me, I don’t care

 Myself, I think you’re making a big mistake.
Cara lain yang umum untuk memisahkan bagian dari kalimat adalah dengan
memulai dengan you know.
 You know Silvia. She’s pregnant.
Terkadang tags tidak memberi informasi baru, tetapi hanya mengulang dan
menekatkan subjek dan kata kerjanya.
 You’ve gone mad, you have.

 I’m getting fed up, I am.
Kata ganti tidak digunakan dalam tag. Kecuali kata ganti relesif (yourself,
myself, dll).
 I don’t think much of the party, myself.
All examples given in this email are the natural ways of speaking English.

Sometimes an adverb clause is put into the middle of another clause, separating a
subject form its verb.
Subject + if/when/after/because/ clause … + verb
 Ann, when she finally managed to go to sleep, had a series of bad dreams.
 The government, if recent reports can be trusted, has decided not to raise
interest rates.
In these structures, a noun may not be the subject of a verb that comes just after
it.
 Andre, when he saw the policeman, started running as fast as he could. (it
was not the policeman who started running).
Sentences like these can be hard for learners to understand, especially if they are
long and complicated.
 One way of deciding what to do if you have difficulty in choosing the best
course of action is to toss a coin. (does the sentence say that the best course of
action is to toss a coin?)
The same thing can happen when the subject of a sentence is followed by a
descriptive phrase or relative clause.
Subject + descriptive phrase/clause + verb
 That picture of the children standing in front of the Palace talking to the prime
minister is wonderful. (the sentence does not say that the prime minister is
wonderful.)
 The reporter who first made contact with the kidnappers called the police
immediately. (who called?)

 The government, if recent reports can be trusted, has decided not to raise

explanation of complicated structures.
218. Understanding complicated structures (continue)
When relative pronouns (who/which/that) are left out, this can cause difficulty.
 It was a question a small child could have answered (= … that a small child
could have answered)
 The film she was talking about at Carlie’s party turned out to be very boring.
(… the film which she was talking about…)
We often leave out the conjunction that after verbs. This can make complicated
sentences more difficult to follow.
 The man who was arrested claimed he was somewhere else at the time of the
robbery. (… claimed that he was…)
In short news reports, that is sometimes left out after nouns.
 Official did not accept his claim he was innocent. (= … that he was innocent.)
Reporting expressions:
Complicated structures can be produced when reported expressions are included

in sentences.
 this is the mad who Ann said will tell us all about computers.
 there are those people that I thought were going to buy our house.
This can also happen with reported question structures.
 He’s gone I don’t know how far.

 We spent I can’t remember how much money on our holiday.

(… the film which she was talking about…)
Kita sering membuang kata penghubung that setelah kata kerja. Ini bisa
membuat kalimat rumit menjadi lebih susah diikuti.
 The man who was arrested claimed he was somewhere else at the time of the
robbery. (… claimed that he was…)
Dalam berita singkat, that sering kalinya dibuang setelah kata benda.
 Official did not accept his claim he was innocent. (= … that he was innocent.)
Struktur rumit bisa dibuat ketika reported speech ada di dalam kalimat..

219. Speech (who to speak English naturally)
Stress and rhythm are important elements in English pronunciation. If learners

pronounce all the syllables in a sentence too regularly, with the same force and
the same speed, they can be quite hard for English speakers to understand. And
if learners are not sensitive to English stress and rhythm, they may not perceive
unstressed syllables (especially ‘weak forms’) at all. And this may make it
difficult for them to follow natural English speech.
Stressing
In speech, some parts of English words and sentences sound louder than others.
For example, they first syllable of CARpet, the second syllable of inSPECtion or
the last syllable of conFUSE are usually stressed, while the other syllables in these
words are not. In the sentence, don’t look at HIM – HE didn’t do it, the words
him and he are stressed in order to emphasize them. Stressed syllables are not
only louder; they may also have longer vowels, and they may be pronounced in
higher musical pitch.

Word stress
English words with more than one syllable mostly have a fixed stress pattern.
There are not many rules to show which syllable of a word will be stressed: one
usually has to learn the stress pattern of a word along with its meaning, spelling
and pronunciation. Example:
- Stressed on first syllable:
AFter, CAital, HAPpen, EXercise, BAsy,
- Stressed on second syllable:
inSTEAD, proNOUNCE, aGREEment, parTIcularly
- Stressed on third syllable:
enterTAIN, underSTAND, concernTRAtion
The stressed syllable of a word is the one that can carry an intonation movement.
Many short phrases also have a fixed stress pattern.
- front DOOR (not FRONT door)

- LIVING room (not living ROOM)
Related words can have different stress patterns.
- To inCREASE, an INcrease
- PHOtograph, phoTOgrapher, photoGRAphic.
A good dictionary will show how words and common phrases are stressed.

Tekanan dan irama sangat penting dalam pengucapan Bahasa inggris. Jika kamu
mengucapkan semua sukukata dalam sebuah kalimat terlalu datar, dengan
tekanan dan kecepatan yang sama, ini menyebabkan kebingungan bagi native
speakers untuk memahami kamu. Dan jika kamu tidak bisa membedakan tekana
dan irama kosakata Bahasa inggris, kamu bakal susah membedakan sukukata
yang tidak ditekan (khususnya ‘bentuk tidak ditekan’). Maka inilah yang akan
menyusahkan kamu mengikuti percakapan Bahasa inggris yang natural.
Penekanan (Stressing)
Dalam percakapan, beberapa bagian dari kata Bahasa inggris terdengar kuat dari
yang lain. Contohnya, suku kata pertama dari kata CARpet, suku kata kedua
dari kata inSPECtion atau suku kata terakhir dari kata conFUSE, suku kata yang
dikapitalkan dibaca kuat (stressed), sedangkan suku kata lain tidak ditekankan.
Dalam sebuah kalimat, don’t look at HIM – HE didn’t do it, kata him dan he
ditekankan untuk memperjelas siapa dan apa. Suku kata yang ditekankan tidak
hanya diucapkan kuat, ada juga yang vowel nya panjang, dan ada juga
diucapkan berirama tinggi.
Tekanan pada kata.

Kata dalam Bahasa inggris yang lebih dari satu suku kata biasanya memiliki pola
tekana yang tetap. Tapi tidak ada aturan untuk menentukan suku kata yang
mana yang ditekankan: kamu harus belajar pola penekanan sekalian dengan
belajar arti, ejaan, dan pengucapan. Contohnya:
- Ditekankan pada suku kata pertama:
AFter, CAital, HAPpen, EXercise, BAsy,
- Ditekankan pada suku kata kedua:
inSTEAD, proNOUNCE, aGREEment, parTIcularly
- Ditekankan pada suku kata ketiga:
enterTAIN, underSTAND, concernTRAtion
banyak frase pendek yang memiliki pola penekana yang tetap juga.
- front DOOR (bukan FRONT door)

- LIVING room (bukan living ROOM)
Kata-kata yang berkaitan bisa memiliki pola tekana yang berbeda.
- To inCREASE, an INcrease
- PHOtograph, phoTOgrapher, photoGRAphic.
Kamus yang bagus selalu memberikan cara penekanan kata-kata dan frase
umum.
That’s how you start speaking a natural English.
220. Speech (how to speak English naturally)
Variable stress
Some words have variable stress. In these, the stress is at or near the end when
the word is spoken alone, but it can move to an earlier position when the word is
in a sentence, especially if another stressed word follows. Compare:
- afterNOON (stressed at the end)
it’s time for my AFternoon SLEEP. (stressed at the beginning)
- japanESE
JApanese COOking
- nineTEEN
The year NINEteen TWENty
many short phrases – for instance, two-word verbs – have variable stress.
- Their marriage broke UP.

Money problems BROKE up their marriage.

Emphatic and contrastive stress
Stress is often used to emphasize one part of a sentence, perhaps to make a

contrast. Compare these three ways of sating the same words:
- Their ELDER daughter went to Cambridge. (not their younger daughter)

- Their elder DAUGHTER went to Cambridge. (not their elder son)
- Their elder daughter went to CAMBRIDGE. (not another university)
Stress in sentences; rhythm
Rhythm is the word for the way stressed and unstressed syllables make patterns
in speech. In sentences, we usually give more stress to nouns, ordinary verbs,
adjectives, and adverbs, and less stress to pronouns, determiners, preposition,
and conjunctions and auxiliary verbs.
- She was SURE that the BACK of the CAR had been DAMaged.
Stressed syllables are pronounced more slowly and clearly. Unstressed syllables
are pronounced more quickly and less clrearly, and are fitted in between the
stressed syllables. Compare the following two sentences. The second does not
take much longer to say than the first: although it has three more unstressed
syllables, it has the same number of stressed syllables.
- She KNEW the DOCtor.

- She KNEW that there was a DOCtor.

221. Speech and intonation.
Intonation is the word for the ‘melody’ of spoken language: the way the musical
pitch of the voice rises and falls. Intonation systems in languages are very
complicated and difficult to analyze.
Intonation in conversation
One use of intonation is to show how a piece of information fits in with what
comes before and after. For instance, a speaker may raise his or her voice when
taking over the conversation from somebody else, or to indicate a change of
subject. A rise or fall on a particular word ma show that this is the ‘center’ of the
message – the place where the new information is being given; or it may signal a
contrast or a special emphasis. A rising tone at the end of a sentence may suggest
that there is more to be said and perhaps invite another speaker to take over.
Attitude

Intonation (together with speed, voice quality and loudness) can also say things
about the speaker’s attitude. For instance, when people are excited or angry they
often raise and lower their voices more.
Intonation and misunderstandings
If a statement is made on a rising intonation, it may be misunderstood as a
question
That’s our TRAIN. ~ I don’t know. ~ yes, it is. I’m telling you.
---
Intonasi adalah ‘melodi’ Bahasa verbal (percakapan) – dimana suara naik dan
turun. System intonasi dalam sebuah Bahasa sangatlah compleks dan susah
untuk dianalisa.
Intonasi dalam percakapan

Salah satu fungsi intonasi adalah untuk menampakkan informasi cocok dengan
apa yang datang sesudah dan sebelumnya. Contohnya, pembicara bisa
menaikkan suaranya ketika ingin mengambil alih pembicaraan dari orang lain,
atau ingin mengganti topik pembicaraan.
Suara naik atau turun pada suatu kata tertentu boleh menunjukan bahwa ini
adalah inti dari pembicaraan
Sikap
Intonasi (dan juga kecepatan, kualitas suara dan besarnya suara) mempengaruhi
sikap penutur. Contohnya, ketika orang sedang semangat atau marah, mereka
lebih sering menaikkan dan menurunkan suara
Intonasi dan kesalahpahaman

Jika ungkapan dibuat dengan intonasi tinggi, ini bisa menyebabkan
kesalahpahaman dan dipikir sebagai pertanyaan.
That’s our TRAIN. ~ I don’t know. ~ yes, it is. I’m telling you.
222. Subjunctive
What is subjunctive?
Some languages have special verb forms called ‘subjunctive’, which are used
specially to talk about ‘unreal’ situations: things which are possible, desirable or
imaginary. Older English had subjunctives, but in modern English they have
mostly been replaced by uses of should, would and other modal verbs, by special

Info: WA 08116876996 22

360 emails
uses of past tenses, and by ordinary verb forms. English only has a few
subjunctive forms left: third-person singular present verbs without –s, (e.g. she
see, he have) and special forms of be (e.g. I be, he were). Except for I/he/she/it
were after if, they are not very common.
Ordinary verbs only have one subjunctive form: a third person singular present
with no –s (e.g. she see). It is sometimes used in that-clause in a formal style,
especially in American English, after words which express the idea that
something is important or desirable (e.g. suggest, recommend, ask, insist, vital,
essential, important, advice). The same forms are used in both present and past
sentences.
 It is essential that every child have the same educational opportunities.
 The judge recommended that Andi remain in prison for life.
Do is not used in negative subjunctives. Note the word order.
 We felt it desirable that he not leave school before eighteen.

With verbs that are not third-person singular, the forms are the same as ordinary
present-tense verbs (but they may refer to the past)
 I recommended that you move to another office.

Apa itu kalimat subjunctive?

Subjunctive adalah bentuk kata kerja yang khusus mengungkapkan situasi
“tidak nyata”: hal yang tidak mungkin, yang di inginkan atau imajinasi. Bahasa
inggris tua banyak terdapat penggunaan subjunctive, tapi pada Bahasa inggris
sekarang (modern), subjunctive diganti dengan penggunaan should, would dan
kata bantu lainnya, diganti juga dengan penggunaan past tense tertentu, dan
juga dengan bentuk kata kerja biasa. Bahasa inggris hanya memiliki sedikit
bentuk subjunctive yang tersisa: kata kerja tunggal orang ketiga tanpa –s (she
see, he have) dan bentuk khusus be (I be, he were). Kecuali untuk I/he/she/it
menggunakan were setelah if- bentuk ini tidak terlalu digunakan.
Kata kerja biasa hanya memiliki satu bentuk subjunctive: orang ketiga tunggal
tanpa –s (she see). Ini sering digunakan dengan klausa-that kalimat formal,
khususnya pada American English, digunakan setelah kata-kata yang
mengungkapkan sesuatu yang penting atau diinginkan (seperti, suggest,
recommend, ask, insist, vital, essential, important, advice). Bantuk yang sama
juga digunakan untuk present dan past tense.
 It is essential that every child have the same educational opportunities.
 The judge recommended that Andi remain in prison for life.

Do tidak digunakan dalam kalimat subjunctive negatif. Perhatikan urutan

katanya
 We felt it desirable that he not leave school before eighteen.
Dengan kata kerja orang ketiga tunggal, bentuknya sama seperti kata kerja
present biasanya. (tapi menunjukkan makna past.)
 I recommended that you move to another office.
223. Subjunctive (additional points)
Be has special subjunctive forms: I be, you be etc.

 It is important that Helen be present when we sign the papers.
I were and he/she/it were, used for example after if and wish in a formal style,
are also subjunctives.
 If I were you a should stop smoking.

 I wish it were Saturday.
Subjunctives are also used in certain fixed phrases. Examples:
 God save the Queen!

 Long live the King!
 God bless you
 I we have to pay Rp. 1 billion, the so be it. (= we can’t do anything to change
it.)
Most subjunctive structures are formal and unusual in British English. In that-
clauses, British people usually prefer should + infinitive, or ordinary present
and past tenses.
 It is essential that every child should have the same educational

opportunities. (or … that every child has …)
 It was important that James should contact John as soon as possible. (or …
that James contacted …)
---
Be memiliki bentuk kalimat subjunctive khusus: I be, you be dll.

 It is important that Helen be present when we sign the papers.
I were dan he/she/it were, digunakan setelah if and wish dalam ungkapan
formal juga bentuk subjunctive.
 If I were you a should stop smoking.

 I wish it were Saturday.
Kalimat Subjunctives juga digunakan dalam frase tetap tertentu. contohnya:

 God save the Queen!

 I we have to pay Rp. 1 billion, the so be it. (= tidak ada yang bisa kita lakukan
untuk mengubahnya.)
Kebanyakan struktur kalimat subjunctive digunakan secara formal dan tidak

sering digunakan oleh British English. Orang British mengguanakan should +
infinitive, atau tense past dan present
 It is essential that every child should have the same educational

opportunities. (atau … that every child has …)
 It was important that James should contact John as soon as possible. (atau …
that James contacted …)
Subjunctive is very formal, but we can still use it. I’ll see you tomorrow.
224. Telling the time
There are two common was of saying what time it is.

8.05 eight (o) five or five past eight
8.10 eight ten or ten past eight
8.15 eight fifteen or a quarter past eight
8.25 eight twenty-five or twenty-five past eight
8.30 eight thirty or half past eight
8.50 eight fifty or ten two nine
9.00 nine o’clock
Americans prefer to write a colon between the hours and the minutes: 8:50.
People generally prefer to say minutes past/to for times between the five-minute
divisions.
 Seven minutes past eight (more natural than seven past eight)
 Three minutes to nine (more natural than three to nine)
The expression o’clock is only used to the hour. Compare
 Wake me at seven (o’clock)

 Wake me at the past seven. (not … ten past seven o’clock)
Past is often dropped form half past in informal speech.
 Ok, see you at half two. (= … half past two.)

In amercian English after is often used instead of past (e.g. ten after six); but
americans do not say half after. And in American English of, before and till are
possible instead of to (e.g. twenty-five of three).
---
Ada dua cara yang paling umum untuk mengungkapkan jam.

8.05 eight (o) five or five past eight
8.10 eight ten or ten past eight
8.15 eight fifteen or a quarter past eight
8.25 eight twenty-five or twenty-five past eight
8.30 eight thirty or half past eight
8.50 eight fifty or ten two nine
9.00 nine o’clock
Orang amerika lebih suka menulis dengan titik dua (:) di antra jam dan
menitnya: 8:50. Umumnya orang lebih suka mengatakan menit dengan past/to
untuk pembagian lima-menit
 Seven minutes past eight (lebih natural daripada seven past eight)
 Three minutes to nine (lebih natural daripada three to nine)
Ekspresi o’clock hanya digunakan untuk jam (hour). Bandingkan:
 Wake me at seven (o’clock)

 Wake me at the past seven. (bukan … ten past seven o’clock)
Past sering dibuang dari kata awalnya half past pada percakapan informal
 Ok, see you at half two. (= … half past two.)

Dalam American English after sering digunakan daripada past (conto, ten after
six); tapi American English tidak menggunakan half after. Dan pada American
english of, before dan till boleh digunakan daripada menggunakan to (contoh,
twenty-five of three).
You can choose which way to say time. All the two ways are understandable by
native speakers.
225. Tense simplification id subordinate clauses
Reasons for tense simplification
If the main verb of a sentence makes it clear what kind of time the speaker is
talking about, it is not always necessary for the same time to be indicated again in
subordinate clause. Compare:
 The discovery means that we will spend less on food.

Info: WA 08116876996 23
2
360 emails
This discovery will mean that we spend less on food.

 It is unlikely that he will win.
I will pray that he wins.
Verbs in subordinate clauses are often simpler in form than verbs in main clauses
– for example present instead pf future, simple past instead of would +
infinitive, simple past instead of past perfect.
 You’ll find Coca-Cola wherever you go. (not … wherever you will go)
 He would never do anything that went against his conscience. (more natural
that … that would go against his conscience.)
---
Alasan kenapa menyederhanakan tenses
Jika kata kerja utama dari sebuah kalimat menerangkan dengan jelas waktu yang
penutur utarakan, maka boleh jika waktu tersebut tidak diulang kembali.
Bandingkan contoh-contoh berikut:
 The discovery means that we will spend less on food.
This discovery will mean that we spend less on food.
 It is unlikely that he will win.
I will pray that he wins.
Kata kerja dalam klausa kedua (subordinate clause) seringnya lebih simpel
dalam bentuknya daripada klausa utama – contohnya menggunakan present
daripada future, past simple daripada would + infinitive, past simple daripada
past perfect
 You’ll find Coca-Cola wherever you go. (bukan … wherever you will go)
 He would never do anything that went against his conscience. (lebih natural
daripada … that would go against his conscience.)
Read again the examples above and try to make similar example of your own. I’ll
see you tomorrow.
226. Using present instead of future
Present tenses are often used instead of will + infinitive to refer to the future in
subordinate clauses. This happens not only after conjunctions of time like when,
until, after, before, as soon as, but in most other subordinate clauses. For instance,
after if, whether and on condition that, after question words and relatives, and in
indirect speech.
 I’ll write to her when I have time. (not … when I will have time)
 Will you stay here until the plane takes off?

 I think you’ll find the wind slows you down a bit
This can happen even if the main verb is not future in form, provided it refers to
the future.
 Call me when you arrive.

 Make sure you come back soon.
 You can tell who you like next week, but not until then.
In comparisons with as and then, present and future verbs are both possible.
 She’ll be on the same train as we are/will tomorrow

 We’ll get there sooner than you do/will
The present perfect is used instead of the future perfect, to express the idea of
completion.
 I’ll call you when I’ve finished. (not … when I will have finished)
 At the end of the year there will be an exam on everything you’ve studied.
(not … everything you will have studied).

Present tenses lebih sering digunakan daripada bentuk will + infinitive untuk
menunjukkan masa akan dating dalam klausa bawahan. Ini terjadi tidak hanya
setelah kata hubung seperti when, until, after, before, as soon as, tapi tejadi di
kebanakan klausa bawahan.
 I’ll write to her when I have time. (bukan … when I will have time)
 Will you stay here until the plane takes off?
 I think you’ll find the wind slows you down a bit
Ini bisa dipakai walaupun kata kerja utama bukan dalam bentuk future, jika ia
merujuk ke future.
 Call me when you arrive.

 Make sure you come back soon.
 You can tell who you like next week, but not until then.
Perbandingan antara as dan than, kata kerja present dan future keduanya boleh
digunakan.
 She’ll be on the same train as we are/will tomorrow

 We’ll get there sooner than you do/will
Present perfect digunakan ketimbang future perfect untuk menekspresikan

gagasan yang telah selesai.
 I’ll call you when I’ve finished. (bukan … when I will have finished)

227. Simplification of perfect and progressive verbs
Simple past verb forms are used quite often in subordinate clauses instead of
present perfect and past perfect tenses, if the meaning is clear.
 It’s been a good time while it(‘s) lasted.
 I’ve usually liked the phone I(‘ve) worked with.
 For thirty years, he had done no more than he (had) needed to.
 He probably crashed because he had gone to sleep while he was driving.
(more natural than ... while we had been driving.)
Progressives are often replaced by simple forms in subordinate clauses.
 He’s working. But at the same time as he works, he’s exercising. (or … at the
same time as he’s working…)
These rules do not usually apply to clauses beginning because, although, since or
as (meaning ‘because’), or to non-identifying relative clauses.
 I won’t mind the heat on holiday because I won’t move about much.
 I’ll come to the opera with you, although I probably won’t enjoy it.
 You’ll work with Mr. Harris, who will explain everything to you.

228. Clauses with that
That as clause connector
That is a conjunction with little real meaning. It is simply a connector – it shows

that a clause forms part of a larger sentence. Compare
 I understood. He was innocent. (two separate sentences)
 I understood that he was innocent. (the clause he was innocent has become
the object of the verb in the larger sentence)
That-clauses in sentences
A that-clause can be the subject of a sentence.
 That she should forget me so quickly was rather a shock.
It can be a complement after be.
 The main thing is that you’re happy
Many verbs can have that-clauses as object.
 We knew that the next day would be difficult.

 I regretted that I was not going to be at the meeting.
And many nouns and adjectives can be followed by that-clauses.
 I admire your belief that you are always right.

 The Minister is anxious that nothing should get into the papers.
In some kinds of that-clause, should + infinitive or subjunctives are often used

instead of ordinary verb forms.
 I insisted that she should see a doctor at once. (or … that she sees …)

 The fact that Simon had disappeared didn’t seem to worry anybody. (more
natural that That Simon had disappeared …)

231. Commonly confused word: time
Time has various uses, some countable and some uncountable. Most of these are
straightforward, but there are problems in two areas:
a. measure of duration: how long
When we talk about the number of hours, days etc. that are needed to complete
something, time is generally uncountable (and therefore used with a).
 How much time do we need to lead the van?
 It took quite some time to persuade her to talk to us
 Don’t worry – there’s plenty of time.
However, time is countable in certain expressions like along/short time and quite a time.
 I took a long time to get to sleep.

 She was away for quite a time.
The time can be used to mean ‘enough time’; the is of then dropped.
 Just come with me – I haven’t (the) time to explain.

b. Clock times
When we talk about clock times, time is countable.
 Six o’clock would be a good time to meet.

 She phoned me at various time yesterday
The is dropped in the expression it’s time.
 It’s time to stop. (not it’s the time to stop)

Kata Time memiliki banyak penggunaan, ada yang countable (bisa dihitung) ada yang
uncountable (tidak bisa dihitung). Kebanyakan penggunaannya jelas, tapi ada
permasalahan dalam dua area.
a. Ukuran durasi: how long
Ketika kita berbicara tentang jumlah jam, hari dll. yang dibutuhkan untuk melengkapi
sesuatu, kata time umumnya berbentuk uncountable (maka harus digunakan a).
 How much time do we need to lead the van?
 It took quite some time to persuade her to talk to us
 Don’t worry – there’s plenty of time.
Namun, time berbentuk countable dalam beberapa ekspresi seprti a long/shor time dan
quite a time.
 I took a long time to get to sleep.

 She was away for quite a time.
The time bisa digunakan yang berarti ‘sudah cukup waktu’; the nya kemudian dibuang.
 Just come with me – I haven’t (the) time to explain.

b. Jam waktu
Ketika kita berbicara tentang jam waktu, jam berbentuk countable.
 Six o’clock would be a good time to meet.

 She phoned me at various time yesterday
The dibuang dalam ekspressi it’s time.
 It’s time to stop. (bukan it’s the time to stop)

That’s all. I’ll see you tomorrow.
232. Using preposition with time: in time/ on time
Preposition are often dropped before some common expressions with time.
 He’s busy. Why don’t you come another time? (more natural than … at another
time…)
 What time does the match start? (more natural than … at what time?)
 You won’t fool me this time
In relative structures after time, that is often used instead on when in an informal style
(or dropped)
 Do you remember the time (that) Freddy pretended to be a ghost?

 You can come up and see me any time (that) you like.
On time means ‘at the planned time’, ‘neither late nor early’. The opposite is ‘early’ or
‘late’. It is often used to refer to timetabled events.
 Only one of the last six trains has been on time. (not …. In time)
 Peter wants the discussion to start exactly on time. (not … in time)
In time mean ‘with enough time to spare’, ‘before the last moment’. The opposite is too
late.
 We arrived in time to get good seats. (not … on time to get …)
 I nearly drove into the car in front, but I stopped just in time.

Preposisi sering dibuang sebelum ekspresi dengan time.
 He’s busy. Why don’t you come another time? (lebih natural daripada … at another
time…)
 What time does the match start? (lebih natural daripada … at what time?)
 You won’t fool me this time
Dalam sturktur relative clause setelah time, that sering digunakan daripada wen dalam
percakapan informal (atau dibuang)
 Do you remember the time (that) Freddy pretended to be a ghost?

 You can come up and see me any time (that) you like.
On time artinya ‘pada waktu yang ditentukan’, ‘tidak telat atau cepat’. Lawannya adalah
‘cepat’ atau ‘terlambat’. Ini sering digunakan untuk menunjukkan pada acara yang telah
dijadwalkan
 Only one of the last six trains has been on time. (bukan …. In time)
 Peter wants the discussion to start exactly on time. (bukan … in time)
In time artinya ‘ada waktu yang tersisa’, ‘sebelum saat terakhir’. Lawannya adalah
sangat telat.
 We arrived in time to get good seats. (bukan … on time to get …)

 I nearly drove into the car in front, but I stopped just in time.
On time and in time are not used the same way. You need to read again the sentences to
make you understand better.
233. Using too and very
Too is different from very – too means ‘more than enough’, ‘more than necessary’ or
‘more than is wanted’. Compare:
 He’s a very intelligent child.
He’s too intelligent for his class – he’s not learning anything.
 It was very cold, but we went out.
It was too cold to go out, so we stayed at home.
Using too and too much
Before adjective without nouns and before adverbs we use too, not too much.
 You’re too kind to me. (not you’re too much kind to me)
 I arrived too early. (not … too much early)
Too much is used, for example, before nouns.
 I’ve got too much work.

Using much too, far too etc.
Expression which modify comparatives
 Much too old (not very too old)

 Far too long

 A bit too soon
Don’t use too before adjective + noun
Too is not normally used before adjective + noun.
 I put down the bag because it was too heavy (not … too heavy bag.)
 She doesn’t like men who are too tall. (not … too tall man)
In a rather formal style, too can be used before adjective + a/an + noun
 It’s too cold a day for tennis.

----
Too berbeda dengan very – too artinya ‘lebih dari cukup’, ‘lebih dari pending’ or ‘lebih
dari yang diinginkan’. bandingkan:
 He’s a very intelligent child.
He’s too intelligent for his class – he’s not learning anything.
 It was very cold, but we went out.
It was too cold to go out, so we stayed at home.
penggunaan too dan too much
sebelum kata sifat tanpa kata benda dan sebelum kata keterangan kita guanakan too,
bukan too much.
 You’re too kind to me. (bukan you’re too much kind to me)
 I arrived too early. (bukan … too much early)
Too much digunakan, contohnya, sebelum kata benda (nouns).
 I’ve got too much work.

Penggunaan much too, far too dll. digunakan untuk merubah ungkapan perbandingan
(comparatives)
 Much too old (bukan very too old)
 Far too long
 A bit too soon
Jangan gunakan too sebelum adjective + noun
Too tidak digunakan sebelum adjective + noun.
 I put down the bag because it was too heavy (bukan … too heavy bag.)
 She doesn’t like men who are too tall. (bukan … too tall man)
Dalam percakapan sehari-hari, to bisa digunakan sebelum adjective + a/an + noun
 It’s too cold a day for tennis.

Baca kembali contoh diatas agar tidak terbalik penggunaan too, too much dan very.

Using nouns for action

It is very common to refer to an action by using a noun instead of a verb. Nouns of this
kind often have the same form as the related verbs. The structure is especially common
in an informal style.
 There was a loud crash
 Did I hear a cough?
 Let’s have a talk about your plan
 Come on – one more try!
Common structures
Nouns of this kind are often introduced by ‘general-purpose’ verbs such as have, take,
give, make go for.
 I’ll have a thing and let you know what I decide.

 If it won’t start, let’s give it a push.
We can use –ing form in a similar way after do.
 She does a bit of painting, but she doesn’t like to show people.
These structures are very common when we talk about casual, unplanned or
unsystematic recreational activity. Compare:
 Let’s have a swim. (more natural than let’s swim)

 Do you do any sport? Yes, I swim
---
Menggunakan kata benda untuk aksi
Sangat sering didapatkan orang menggunakan kata benda bukan kata kerja untuk
merujuk kepada aksi. Kata benda yang seperti ini memiliki bentu yang sama seperti kata
kerjanya. Struktur yang seperti ini sangat sering digunakan dalam percakapan informal.
 There was a loud crash
 Did I hear a cough?
 Let’s have a talk about your plan
 Come on – one more try!
Struktur umum
Kata benda yang seperti ini sering dimulai dengan kata kerja yang “fungsi umum”
seperti have, take, give, make go for.
 I’ll have a thing and let you know what I decide.

 If it won’t start, let’s give it a push.
Kita menggunakan bentuk –ing form dangan cara yang sama setelah do.
 She does a bit of painting, but she doesn’t like to show people.
Struktur ini sangat sering digunakan ketika berbicara tentang hal yang kasual, tidak
terencana atau aktifitas lainnya. Bandingkan:
 Let’s have a swim. (lebih umum daripada let’s swim)

 Do you do any sport? Yes, I swim
Perhatikan terkadang kata kerja tidak selalu menjadi kata kerja, tapi terkadang bisa
menjadi kata benda.

235. Using used + infinitive

- Meaning
We use used + infinitive to talk about past habits and states which are now finished.
 I used to smoke, but now I’ve stopped. (not I was used to smoke…)
 That bingo hall used to be a cinema.
- Only past
Used to … has not present form (and no progressive, perfect, infinitive or –ing form). To
talk about present habit and states we usually just use the simple present tense.
 He smokes.
 Her brother still collects stamps.
Questions and negatives
When questions and negatives are written, they often have did … used instead of did …
use.
 What did people use(d) to do in the evening before TV?

 I dint use(d) to like opera, but now I do.
The contraction usedn’t is also possible.
 I usedn’t to like opera.

But the most common negative is never used…
 I never used to like opera.

In a formal style, questions and negatives without do are possible, but these are not very
common.
 I used not to like opera, but now I do. (or I used to not like opera …)
 Used you to play football at school?
These forms are not used in tags.
 You used not to like him, did you? (not …. Used you?)

Pemendekan used not menjadi usedn’t juga bisa digunakan.

Dalam percakapan formal, pertanyaan dan negatif tanpa do juga mungkin digunakan,
tapi tidak terlalu sering digunakan.

Bentuk-bentuk ini tidak digunakan dalam tags.

237. Verb complementation: what can follow a verb?
- Different verbs, different structures

Different verbs can be followed by different kinds of word and structures. This is partly
a matter of meaning: after a verb like eat or break, for instance, it is normal to expect a
noun: after try or stop, it is natural to expect a verb. It is also partly a matter of
grammatical rules that have nothing to do with meaning. Before an object, wait is
followed by for; expect has not preposition. Unfortunately, there is no simple rules for
this kind of problem; it is necessary to learn, for each verb, what kind of structures can
follow it. A good dictionary will normally give this information.

- Verb + object: transitive and intransitive verbs

Some verbs are usually followed by nouns or pronouns that act as direct objects. In
grammar these verbs are called ‘transitive examples are invite, surprise.
 Let’s invite sally and Bruce. (but not let’s invite.)
 You surprised me. (but not you surprised)
Some verbs are not normally followed by direct objects. These are called ‘intransitive’.
Example are sit, sleep.
 Do sit down. (but not do sit that chair)

 I usually sleep well (not I slept the baby)
Many verbs can be both transitive and intransitive
 Let’s eat
 I can’t eat sea food.
Some transitive verbs can be followed by two objects (indirect and direct).
 I’ll send you the form tomorrow

 I’m going to buy Sarah some flowers.
---
Apa ang boleh ada setelah kata kerja (part 1)
- Beda kata kerja, beda susunannya
Beda kata kerja beda kata atau struktur yang boleh diikuti. Ini boleh jadi karena masalah
makna: setelah kata kerja seperti eat atau break, biasanya dikuti oleh kata benda: setelah
kata try atau stop, kemungkinan besar kata kerja. Ini juga karena masalah aturan tata
Bahasa yang tidak ada hubungan dengan makna: sebelum objek, wait diikuti oleh for;
expect tidak ada priposisi.
Masalahnya, tidak ada aturan yang baku dengan masalah ini, kita harus belajar setiap
kata hanya boleh diikuti oleh apa dan struktur yang bagaimana. Kamus biasanya
memberikan informasi tentang ini.
- Verb + object: kata kerja transitive dan intransitive
Ada kata kerja yang biasanya diikuti oleh kata benda atau kata ganti sebagai objek
langsung. Dalam istilah grammar biasanya kata kerja ini disebut ‘transitive’ contohnya
are invite, surprise.
 Let’s invite sally and Bruce. (bukan let’s invite.)

 You surprised me. (bukan you surprised)
Ada kata kerja yang biasanya tidak diikuti oleh objek. Kata kerja ini biasa disebut
‘intransitive’. contohnya sit, sleep.
 Do sit down. (bukan do sit that chair)

 I usually sleep well (bukan I slept the baby)
Banyak kata kerja yang bisa sebagai treansitif (butuh objek) dan intransitive (tidak butuh
objek)

tomorrow.
238. What can follow after a verb (part 2)
Some verbs are used transitively and intransitively with different kinds of subject; the
transitive use has a meaning rather like a passive or reflexive verb. Compare
The door opened
 The wind’s moving the curtain
The curtain’s moving
Many verbs need preposition before their objects.
 Why are you looking at me like that? (not …. Looking me …)

 I’d like you to listen to this. (not … to listen this.)
The preposition is dropped when there is no object.
 Look! (not look at!)

Other verbs can be used with adverb particles. Some of these combinations are
transitive; others are intransitive.
 We’ll have to put off our visit to Scotland.

 It’s time to get up.
Link verbs
Some verbs are followed not by an object, but by a subject complement – an expression
which describes the subject. These are called ‘link verbs’
 Your room is a mass.

 The toilets are upstairs
 That looks nice.
- Verb + verb: auxiliaries

Many verbs can be followed by forms of other verbs. Auxiliary verbs are used with other
verbs to make questions and negatives, progressive forms, perfect forms, and passive
 Do you want some tea?

 Where have you been?
 These are made in France
Modal auxiliary verbs are used with other verbs to add ideas such as certainty,
probability, futurity, permission and obligation.

Ada beberapa kata kerja digunakan secara transitif dan intransitive tergantung pada
subjeknya; penggunaan transitif memiliki makna seperti kata kerja passive atau
reflexive. Compare:
The door opened
 The wind’s moving the curtain
The curtain’s moving
Banyak kata kerja membutuhkan preposisi sebelum objeknya.
 Why are you looking at me like that? (bukan …. Looking me …)

 I’d like you to listen to this. (bukan … to listen this.)
Preposisi boleh dibuang ketika tidak ada objek.
 Look! (not look at!)

Ada kata kerja yang bisa digunakan dengan adverb particle (at, on dll.). sebagian
kombinasi ini ada yang transitif dan ada yang intransitive.
 We’ll have to put off our visit to Scotland.

 It’s time to get up.
Link verbs
Ada kata kerja yang tidak diikuti oleh objek, tapi oleh pelengkap subjek – kata yang
memberi makna pelengkap kepada subjek. Kata kerja seperti ini disebut ‘link verbs’
 Your room is a mass.
 The toilets are upstairs
 That looks nice.
- Verb + verb: auxiliaries (kata bantu)

Banyak kata kerja boleh diikuti oleh kata kerja bentuk “lain”. Auxiliary adalah kata kerja
bantu yang digunakan dengan kata kerja lain untuk membuat partanyaan, bentuk
negatif, bentuk progressive, bentuk perfect, dan bentuk passive.
 Do you want some tea?

 Where have you been?
 These are made in France
Modal auxiliary adalah kata kerja dengan kata kerja lain yang menambahkan gagasan
seperti, kepastian, kemungkinan, masa depan, izin dan kewajiban.
 You must be tired.

 The car may need a new engine.
 Can I borrow your paper?

These are a few words that can follow a verb. We’ll look more other structure tomorrow.
See you!
239. What can follow a verb (part 3)
- Verb + verb: other verbs

Many verbs besides auxiliaries can be followed by forms of other verbs (or by structures
including other verbs). This can happen, for example, if we talk about our attitude to an
action: the first verb describes the attitude and the second refers to the action. The
second verb structure is often rather like the direct object of the first verb
 I enjoy playing cards

 I say that she was crying
 I hope to see you soon.
Different structures are possible, depending on the particular verb. Some verbs can be
followed by infinitives with or without to, some verbs can be followed by –ing forms,
with or without a preposition, and some by clauses. Many verbs can be followed by
more than one of these structures, often with a difference of meaning or use.
 We seem to have a problem. (not we seem having a problem)

 Can I help wash up?
 It’s not very easy to stop smoking. (not … to stop to smoke)
 We’re thinking of moving. (not we’re to move)
Sometimes the firs verb does not give information about the subject – it says more about
the action which the second verb refers to.
 I happened to see Alice the other day.

 We’re starting to get invited to some of the neighbors’ parties
 My keys seem to have disappeared
It is possible to have ‘chains’ of verbs following each other
 I keep forgetting to go shopping

 Don’t let me stop you working
 He seems to be trying to sit up
 I don’t want to have to get her to start telling lies.
---
- Verb + verb: kata kerja lain
Banyak kata kerja selain kata kerja bantu bisa diikuti oleh bentuk kata kerja lain (atau
oleh struktur termasuk kata kerja lain). Ini terjadi jika kita berbicara tentang sikap kita
terhadap suatu perbuatan: kata kerja pertama merujuk kepada sikap dan kata kerja
kedua merujuk kepada perbuatan.
 I enjoy playing cards

 I say that she was crying
 I hope to see you soon.

Susunan yang beda juga boleh, tergantung pada kata kerja tertentu. Ada kata kerja yang
boleh diikuti oleh infinitive, ada kata kerja yang boleh diikuti oleh bentuk –ing, baik ada
preposisi atau tidak, dan ada yang diikuti oleh klausa.
 We seem to have a problem. (bukan we seem having a problem)
 Can I help wash up?
 It’s not very easy to stop smoking. (bukan … to stop to smoke)
 We’re thinking of moving. (bukan we’re to move)
Terkadang, kata kerja pertama tidak memberi informasi tentang subjek – tapi memberi
informasi kepada perbuatan yang kata kerja kedua berikan.
 I happened to see Alice the other day.

 We’re starting to get invited to some of the neighbors’ parties
 My keys seem to have disappeared
Boleh juga ada ‘rantain’ kata kerja yang mengikuti satu sama lain.
 I keep forgetting to go shopping

 Don’t let me stop you working
 He seems to be trying to sit up
 I don’t want to have to get her to start telling lies.
Thanks for staying to study with me. I hope you can see the different among these
structures. See you tomorrow.
240. Verbs with both active and passive meanings
Some verbs are used transitively and intransitively with different kinds of subject. The
intransitive use has a meaning rather like a passive or reflexive verb. Compare
The door opened
 We’re selling a lot of copies of your book.
Your book’s selling well.
 Something woke her.
Suddenly she woke.
 I can’t start the car.
The car won’t start

The transitive structure is used with a lot of verbs that refer to things we can do to
materials: for example, bend, break crack, melt, polish, scratch, stain, tear.
 Be careful what you put on the table – it scratches easily. (= you can easily scratch it.)
 These glasses are so fragile: they break if you look at them.

241. Get ready for interview (part 1)
Doing a job interview is a stressful experience for everyone, and it is especially hard if
you have to do it in English. Being well prepared for your job interview is the best way
to make sure that you meet with success.
Take some time to carefully research the company where you want to work. Visit their
webpage and read about what they do. Doing research will show the interviewer that
you’re a serious candidate who shows initiative and that your interest is real.
Practice common interview questions
There is no way to know for sure what questions you are going to be asked, but there are
two things you can do to prepare yourself.
- Tell me about yourself.

Try not to talk for too long about yourself! Think of important points that are
relevant to the job like you enjoy being with people. Try to avoid talking about
things that are too personal.
- What interests you about this job?

You want to be ready with about a one-minute answer that summarizes where you
are at in your career, what you do and what your strengths are.
- What do you know about our company?

This is where your research comes in handy. A well prepared answer will make a
great impression. Keep your answer as brief and complimentary to the company as
possible.
- Tell me about your strengths/weaknesses.

Before going to the interview make a list of your 10 good points and 10 bad points.
For the good points think of things that would make you suitable for the job. For the
bad points be honest, nobody expects you to be perfect and often you'll be respected
for being humble and truthful. What you do need to do though is talk about your
weaknesses and how you're controlling them. Give an example of something you
used to struggle with and how you overcame that problem.

Hi, this email and the following emails on tips to interview will not be provided in
Bahasa Indonesia. So, try harder to get (gist) the information given above. I’ll see you
tomorrow.

The previous email we talked about questions during an interview that are related to
your personal information. Today, we’re going to look at some common question that
might be asked on an interview.
- Why did you leave your last job? Why are you leaving your current job?
Do NOT say anything negative about your current employer. Saying something like
"I don't feel challenged enough" or "I'm looking to develop myself further" is a good
place to start.
- Where do you see yourself in five years?

Be careful when answering this question, appearing too ambitious or not ambitious
enough may cause you to lose the job. Think about how you could grow within the
company and what contributions you could make in the future.
- What would you do if...?

Take your time and think carefully about this question. Make sure you use the
correct grammatical construction of the First Conditional.
- What has been your biggest professional achievement?

This is a great opportunity to showcase your talent. Don't be boastful but do be
honest. Sell yourself! Again, make sure you use the proper past tenses in this answer.
Don’t forget to dress appropriately because dressing properly for the job is an easy way
to help make a good first impression. If it’s at all possible you can go to the company
before the interview. If you’re lucky you may see employees walking in and out and
you’ll see how they dress.
Tomorrow we’re going to look at some common English phrases you can use on an
interview. See you!
Hi, this is the 3rd part of preparing for interview. Today, we’re going to familiarize
ourselves with the phrases that you can use before answering question on an interview.

Theses phrases are intended as a practice for you to speak and express yourself clearly
and eloquently. Sometimes we need “filler” – words or phrases that we used while
thinking before answering a question. We use fillers instead of ‘ah’. Here are some
examples of fillers and when to use them.
Phrases to use when you need time to think before you start speaking:
First of all, …
Let me think…
Let me see…
The first thing I should say is…
Let me start by saying…
That’s an interesting question…
Phrases to use when you need time to think in the middle of an answer:
Can I add that…?

The other thing I should say is…
Let me give you an example.
I could also say…
Phrases to use when you are nearly finished speaking:
And finally…
The last thing I’d like to say is…
What else can I add?
I think I’ve covered everything.
Which brings me to my final point…
Ok. Now practice all the phrases as if they are stamped on your head. See you
tomorrow.
This is the last part (part 4) of preparing for interview. Sometimes, after the interviewer
asks you a lot of questions, he or she allows you to ask questions too. Some people might
reply “no questions frm me”. Some other people ask silly questions – you definitely
should avoid that.
Asking questions is a chance for you to show your preparedness for the position, and
asking intelligent questions about the company, your boss and the position you’re
applying for is a step in the right direction.
Here are some questions you can and can’t ask in an interview.
Common question to ask:
- When are you looking to have someone start?

- What are the hours of the job?
- Are those hours Monday to Friday, or are staff expected to work Saturdays?
- Is this a full time position?

Info: WA 08116876996 25

- Is this a permanent job?

- May I see where I would be working if I were successful?
- Who would I be working for?
- Do you offer any training, and how long is it for?
- Is there a career path?
Here are questions you shouldn’t ask:
- How much is the pay?

- How many holidays would I get?
- Do I get sick pay?
- Would I get a company car/telephone/credit card?
- How long is the maternity/paternity leave?
- When do I start?
And here are some fantastic questions to ask:
- If you were to rank all the people who have done this job in the past, tell me about
number one and why you put them there?
- What qualities did the person who held this job previously have that you’d like to
maintain?
- What are the most important qualities that the person filling this job should have?
This’s the end of our topic on interview. See you tomorrow.
245. Learn English suffixes
Suffixes can change the word-class and the meaning of the word
Common noun suffixes
-er is used for the person who does an activity, e.g. writer, teacher
You can use –er with a wide range of verbs to make them into nouns.
Sometimes, this suffix is written as –or instead of –er. It is worth making a special list of
these as you meet them, e.g. actor, operator, supervisor.
-er/-or are also used for things which do a particular job, e.g. bottle opener, projector.
-er and –ee can contrast with each other meaning ‘person who does something’ (-er) and
‘person who receives or experiences the action’ (-ee), e.g. employer/employee,
sender/addressee.
-(t)ion is used to make nouns form verbs, e.g. complication, reduction, permission,
admission.
-ist (for person) and –ism (for activity or ideology). They are used for people’s politics,
beliefs and ideologies, and sometimes their profession (compare with –er/-or

247. Prefixes in English.
Prefixes are often used to give adjectives a negative meaning. The opposite of
‘comfortable’ is ‘uncomfortable’, the opposite of ‘convenient’ is ‘inconvenient’ and the
opposite of ‘similar’ is ‘dissimilar’. Other examples are ‘unjust’, ‘inedible’, ‘disloyal’,
unfortunately, there is no easy way of knowing which prefix any adjective will use to

form its opposite. When you learn new adjective not down whether it has an opposite
formed with a prefix and, if so, what it is.
Note:
In- becomes im’ before a root beginning with ‘m’ or ‘p’, e.g. immature, impatient,
impartial, improbable, similarly, in- becomes ir- before a word beginning with ‘r’, and il-
before a word beginning with ‘l’, e.g. irreplaceable, irreversible, illegal, illegible,
illiterate.
The prefix in- does not always have a negative meaning – often it gives the idea of inside
or into, internal, import, insert, income.
Although it is mainly adjectives which are made negative by prefixes, un- and dis- can
also form the opposite of verbs too, e.g. appear/disappear. The prefix is used here to
reverse the action of the verb. Here are some more examples: disagree, disapprove,
disbelieve, disconnect, dislike, unbend, undo, undress, unlock, unveil, unzip.
---
Prefixes (awalan)
Prefixes (awalan) sering digunakan untuk membuat kata sifat bermakna negatif.
Kebalikan dari ‘comfortable’ adalah ‘uncomfortable’, kabalikannya ‘convenient’ adalah
‘inconvenient’ dan kebalikan kata ‘similar’ adalah ‘dissimilar’. Contoh lainnya ‘unjust’,
‘inedible’, ‘disloyal’. masalahnya, tidak ad acara yang pasti untuk mengetahui awalah
mana yang membuat sebuah kata sifat berganti makna.
Note:
In- menjadi im- sebelum kata dasar yang berawalan ‘m’ atau ‘p’, contohnya immature,
impatient, impartial, improbable, similarly, in- menjadi ir- sebelum kata yang berawalan
dengan ‘r’, dan il- sebelum kata berawalah dengan ‘l’, seperti irreplaceable, irreversible,
illegal, illegible, illiterate.
Awalan in- tidak selalu bermakna negative – terkadang ia bermaka di dalam atau ke
dalam, seperti inside, into, internal, import, insert, income.
Kebanyakannya, kata sifat yang dibuat negative dengan awalan, namun, un- dan dis-
bisa juga membuat kata kerja bermakna sebaliknya juga, seperti appear/disappear.
Berikut contoh lainnya: disagree, disapprove, disbelieve, disconnect, dislike, unbend,
undo, undress, unlock, unveil, unzip.
Make sure you’re familiar with the prefixes and suffixes. This is how we master the
English vocabulary.

examples

Another set of compound adjectives describes a person’s character. The meanings are
explained in brackets.

preposition. Some of these adjectives are listed below with a typical noun.

You can vary the compound adjectives listed by changing one part of the adjectives. For

adjective. Contohnya, curly-haired, long-haired, red-haired dan straight-haired; first-

250. Compound Nouns

phrasal verbs.
Compound nouns may be written as two words, e.g. tin opener, bank account, or they
may be written with a hyphen, e.g. pen-name, baby-sitter. Some expressions are
occasionally written with hyphen and occasionally as two separate words. For instance,
both letter box and letter-box are correct. Sometimes they may be written as one word,
earring.
Compound noun may be countable, uncountable or only used in either the singular or
the plural. There are examples of each of these types below. Check that you understand
the meanings of each of the expressions listed. If you understand both elements of the
expression, the meaning will usually be clear. If the meaning is not fairly obvious, then it
is provided below.
Usually the main stress is on the first part of the compound but sometimes it is on the
second part. The word which contains the main stress is underlined in the compound
nouns below.

examples are verb relating to the noises which animals make, e.g. cows moo and cats mew
or meow.
If the vowel sound in a word is short, an onomatopoeic word usually signifies a short, sharp
sound. If it is long (indicated in the international phonetic alphabet by :) then the word
usually signifies a longer, slower sound.
Particular combinations of letters have particular sound associations in English.
