Pelajaran 54 - FUTURE TENSE

Future tense adalah tense yang merujuk ke masa depan, dan masa depan mengandung ketidakpastian (uncertainty). maka dalam pengungkapannya future tense terbagi atas tingkat kepastian sebagai berikut :
1. Akan terjadi di masa depan tetapi mengandung kemungkinan gagal.
  • I will go to Jakarta nexth month. (Saya akan pergi ke Jakarta bulan depan tetapi belum pasti)
  • She will help her mother.
  • Ani will write a novel
2. Akan terjadi di masa depan dan sudah ada persiapan.
  • I am going to repair the fence tomorrow. (mungkin sudah membeli peralatan untuk memperbaiki)
  • She is going to continue studu in Havard University.
  • Chris John is going to defence his title in Texas.
3. Untuk mengungkapkan tingkat kepastian yang tidak mungkin batal digunakan bentuk tense FUTURE CONTINUOUS. Bentuk kalimatnya samadengan present continuous.
  • I am going to Bandung tomorrow.
  • They are playing football this evening.
  • He is reading your article soon.
  • I am buying the car tomorrow.
FUTURE CONTINUOUS seakan-akan menempatkan kondisi present continuous (kondisi yang sedang berlangung) sedang terjadi di masa depan.

Pelajaran 51- Kalimat tanya dan kata tanya

Kita akan lihat bagian demi bagian bagaimana sebuah kata tanya bisa terbentuk , kiranya pola pikir ini bisa memperjelas pengertian tentang kata tanya.
Lihat kalimat ini :
Suji writes a novel in the bedroom every morning.Ubah kalimat di atas menjadi kalimat tanya
Does Suji write a novel in the bedroom every morning?
Jawaban : Yes He does / No he does not
Bagaimana kalimat tersebut bisa menjadi kalimat tanya terbuka?
Lihat :
........writes a novel in the bedroom every morning (Suji menjadi seseorang yang tidak diketahui)
Berubah menjadi kalimat tanya:
........does write a novel in the bedroom every morning?
WHO does write a novel in the bedroom every morning?
*SUJI does
WHO muncul karena ada sesuatu dalam kalimat yang tidak diketahui yaitu : SUJI
Lihat lagi :
Suji writes ..........in the bedroom every morning. (Apa yang ditulis Suji menjadi sesuatu yang tidak diketahui)
Does Suji writes.......in the bedroom every morning?
WHAT does Suji write in the bedroom every morning?
Suji writes a novel in the bedroom every morning
WHAT muncul karena apa yang ditulis Suji tidak diketahui.
Cobalah dengan menghilangkan salah satu unsur dalam kalimat di atas dan ubahlah menjadi kalimat tanya.
Pembahasan ini tidak perlu terlalu dipikirkan pada waktu conversation , tetapi hal ini untuk memperkuat pola pikir kita terhadap bahasa, serta meningkatkan sense berbahasa.

Motivational Poem

A Motivational PoemIt Isn't Costly Poet: Edgar Guest Does the grouch get richer quicker than the
friendly sort of man?
Can the grumbler labor better than the cheerful
fellow can?
Is the mean and churlish neighbor any cleverer
than the one
Who shouts a glad "good morning," and then
smiling passes on?Just stop and think about it. Have you ever
known or seen
A mean man who succeeded, just because he
was so mean?
When you find a grouch with honors and with
money in his pouch,
You can bet he didn't win them just because
he was a grouch.
Oh, you'll not be any poorer if you smile along
your way,
And your lot will not be harder for the kindly
things you say.
Don't imagine you are wasting time for others
that you spend:
You can rise to wealth and glory and still pause
to be a friend.
