C. Grammar Focus

  1. Pronoun
To get more understanding, please watch this video!

Pronoun adalah kata yang menggantikan kata benda di dalam kalimat. Pronoun digunakan untuk menghindari pengulangan kata benda yang sama dalam percakapan atau penulisan yang membuat sebuah kalimat tidak efektif. Ada beberapa jenis pronoun dalam Bahasa Inggris. Perhatikan tabel berikut ini.

a. Subject Pronoun

Subject pronoun adalah kata ganti yang berfungsi sebagai subyek di dalam kalimat. Macam-macam subject pronoun yaitu: I, you,we, they, he, she, dan it.

Contoh penggunaanya di dalam kalimat adalah sebagai berikut:

I am Stephanie Del.

You are beautiful.

We can see great view from here.

He is a diligent student.

She is a celebrity chef.

He can speak some foreign languages.

It is very delicious.

b. Object Pronoun

Object pronoun adalah kata ganti yang berfungsi sebagai obyek di dalam kalimat. Macam-macam object pronoun yaitu: me, you, us, them, him, her dan it.

Contoh penggunaannya dalam kalimat:

-He looked at me cynically.

-I love you.

-Please tell us about what happened to you.

-He gave them some food.

-Ratna left him alone in the subway.

-Joni taught her how to drive safely.

-We put it back to the right place.

c. Possessive Adjective

Possessive adjective adalah adjective (kata sifat) yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan kepemilikkan kata benda (noun) yang dimodifikasinya/dijelaskannya. Macam-macam possessive adjective yaitu: my, your, our, their, his, her, and its.

Contoh penggunaan dalam kalimat:

My friend is very smart.

-We like your voice very much.

-He is our younger brother.

I like to watch their videos.

His teeth look white and neat when he smiles.

Her sister is as beautiful as mine.

My cat is always wags its tail.

Jadi penggunaan sebuah possessive adjective di dalam kalimat selalu diikuti kata benda.

d. Possessive Pronoun

Possessive Pronoun adalah kata ganti kepemilikan. Ia digunakan untuk menunjukkan adanya suatu kepemilikan atau ownership atas sesuatu. Macam-macam possessive pronoun yaitu: mine, yours, ours, theirs, his, dan hers.

Contoh penggunaannya dalam kalimat:

-This jacket is mine (my jacket)
-Finally you bought the car. It is yours (your car) now.
-He sells ours (our merchandise).
Theirs (their products) are still the best in the market.
-It is his (his bag). Please don’t disturb it.
-We like hers (her cake) most.

Jadi possessive pronoun digunakan untuk menggantikan noun yang dihilangkan: my jacket ==>mine, your car==>yours, our merchandise==>ours, their product==>theirs, his bag==>his dan her cake==>hers. Perhatikan lagi contoh-contoh kalimat di atas bahwa possessive pronoun bisa berfungsi sebagai subject maupun object di dalam kalimat.

Sebagai kesimpulan, possessive pronoun menggantikan noun dan possessive adjective menerangkan noun.

3. Simple Present Tense

Simple present is the most basic and common tense in English. It is also interesting because it can express both the present and the future.

Pattern

Positive
1. Subject+Verb1 (base)———-> for first singular/plural and second singular/plural pronoun (I,we,you,they)
2. Subject+Verb1(s/es) —–> for third singular pronoun (he, she, it)

-s or -es?

For third singular person, we need to put s/es after the verb. For most verbs, just add s. However, for some verbs, which end in -s (pass, kiss), sh (wish, wash), ch (watch, catch, teach), z (waltz) and x (mix, fix) you need to add –es, so that the verbs become passes, kisses, wishes, washes, watches, catches, teaches, waltzes, mixes and fixes. Meanwhile for verbs end in -y, you must pay attention to the letter before -y. If the letter before -y is a consonant, such as study, fly….you need to change -y into -i then add –es; the verbs then become studies and flies. But if the letter before –y is a vowel like in play, you only need to put s, then it becomes plays.

Negative

Subject+do/does+not+Verb1(base)

Interrogative

Do/Does+Subject+Verb1(base)?
