In sentences in Group A, we have the verbs like and sing. The verb like takes on different forms (like, likes) in the six sentences in the group. The verb sing has the same unchangeable form to sing in all the sentences. So, we have one verb which changes and the other which does not change.

In the sentences in Group B, we have a similar thing. We have the verb be in different forms (am, is, are) and the unchangeable verb form eating of the verb eat. So, here too, we have again one changing verb and the other an unchanging verb.

DIRECT INDIRECT SPEECH

Direct Speech (Quoted Speech)

Direct speech repeats, or quotes, the exact words spoken. When we use direct speech in writing, we place the words spoken between inverted commas ("....") and there is no change in these words. We may be reporting something that's being said NOW (for example a telephone conversation), or telling someone later about a previous conversation

Examples:

She says "What time will you be home?"
She said "What time will you be home?"
and I said "I don't know!
"
"There's a fly in my soup!" screamed Simone.
John said, "There's an elephant outside the window."

VOCABULARY AROUND THE HOUSE

PREPOSITION IN,ON,AT

Prepositions: In, On, and At (with specific times and places)

One day I have ever heard someone said, “ I live on Japan “.

Sebenarnya pernyataan tersebut adalah salah, orang tersebut tidak menggunakan preposisi in, on, at yang benar.

Nah bagaimana sih cara kita menggunakan preposisi in,on,at yang benar. Mari ikuti penjelasan berikut ini !

In many languages, there is only one preposition for the above situations. In English there are three. Just remember that in usually indicates the "largest" time or place, and at usually indicates the "smallest" time or place. The prepositions in, on, and at can be used to indicate time and place.

Notice how they are used in the following situations:



Preposition

Time

Place

In

Year, Month,
In 1999, In December

Country, State, City
In Japan, In Utah, InTaipei

On

Day, Date
On Saturday, On May 1

Street
On Main Street, On 1st Ave.

At

Time
At 8:00, At 7:30

Address
At 815 East Main Street

MODALS IN THE PAST FORM

When do we use modals?

  • To talk about someone's ability (or inability) to do something
    example: "We can find your house without the street plan."
    "She can't have a daughter that old!"
  • To talk about an action that is necessary (or impossible, or not necessary)
    example: "You must always have your driver's licence when you are driving your car."
    "You needn't carry your passport around with you."
  • To talk about a situation that is possible (or impossible)
    example: "Do be careful with that glass, the baby might knock it over"

A modal verb always has the same form:

There is no past form (-ed), no present participle (-ing) and no 3rd persons singular (-s).

Modal verbs come before the subject in questions:

example: "May I come to your house for tea?"

Negative forms:

Modal verbs haven't or not after them in the negative.
example: "mustn't" - "needn't".

NOUN PHRASES

Okay in this material I will explain you about noun phrase

Definition :

A word group with a noun or pronoun as its head. The noun head can be accompanied by modifiers, determiners (such as the, a, her), and/or complements. A noun phrase (often abbreviated as NP) most commonly functions as a subject, object, or complement.

Maybe like before I will explain you in Indonesian, so you can understand easily. Let’s start

Salah satu kesulitan siswa yang sering saya jumpai saat belajar Bahasa Inggris adalah how to make a sentence in correct order

atau menulis kalimat dalam urutan yang tepat tiap kata.

Dalam Bahasa Inggris ada unsur bahasa yang di tulis berbalikan dengan apabila kita tulis dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Unsur atau lebih tepatnya kelas kata yang ditulis berbalikan dengan bahasa kita tersebut adalah Frase Kata Benda, hanya frase kata benda. Atau dalam Bahasa Inggrisnya Noun Phrase atau yang sering disingkat NP

PASSIVE VOICE

Okay the next material is passive voice, maybe for explain about passive voice I will use Indonesian language, so I hope you can understand what I write. check this out!!!

Definisi

Passive voice adalah sebuah kalimat yang subjeknya dikenai sebuah pekerjaan.

Misalnya ibu sedang mencuci piring (aktiv), piring sedang dicuci ibu (passive). Or in english Mother is washing plates (active), plates is being washed by mother (passive).

Tidak semua kata kerja dapat di ubah kedalam bentu pasif ada beberapa syarat yang harus dipenuhi, syarat :

Kata kerja (verb) yang diubah menjadi kalimat passive adalah kata kerja tertentu yang berobyek tapi ada beberapa kata kerja tertentu yang berobyek tapi jarang sekali dalam kalimat passive, yaitu fit, have, lack, resemble, and suit.

Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kalimat nominal dan intrasitive tidak bisa diubah menjadi kalimat passive.

Aturan dalam kalimat passive :
  1. Subject dalam kalimat aktif menjadi object dalam kalimat pasif
  2. Sebaliknya object dalam kalimat aktif menjadi subject dalam kalimat pasif
  3. Kalimat yang dipasifkan harus memiliki object
  4. Jika kalimat actif tidak memiliki auxiliary (to be), maka kita harus menambahkan (to be) yang disesuaikan dengan subject yang digunakan dalam kalimat pasif juga harus disesuaikan dengan bentuk tenses yang dipasifkan
  5. Letakkan kata kerja utama (verb) setelah to be pada kalimat pasif yaitu kata kerja bentuk ke 3
  6. Letakkan preposision “by” setelah verba utama dalam kalimat pasif sebelum object
  7. Susunan kalimat atau pola yang dipasifkan harus sesuai dengan tenses
  8. Verb transitive tidak digunakan dalam kalimat pasif, kecuali kalimat tersebut menggunakan cognate object dalam aktif
Ex : she sang a fine song
A fine song was sung by her

SIMPLE FUTURE


Kali ini saya akan membahas tentang simple future sebagai materi primbon semester 2. Pada materi primbon semester 1 kita telah mempelajari 3 macam tenses, yaitu simple present, simple past, dan perfect tense. Simple future merupakan salah satu dari 16 macam tenses yang ada, future dalam bahasa inggris berarti masa depan atau masa yang akan datang, sehingga dari asal kata kita dapat menyimpulkan bahwa simple future mempelajari segala kegiatan yang akan kita lakukan di masa yang akan datang. Berikut penjelasan lebih lengkap.

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.
