TUGAS SOFTSKILL- GERUND

Gerund

 

GERUND dan Contoh Penggunaannya

Sebagian dari kita mungkin agak jarang mendengar kata ini, namun bagi sebagian lagi mungkin sudah familiar. Tapi sebenarnya, terlepas dari tahu atau tidak, saya yakin kita pasti sering menggunakannya ketika sedang belajar atau latihan berbahasa inggris, seperti conversation maupun writting.

What is GERUND?

A Gerund is the form of a verb when it acts as a noun; a gerund (often known as an -ing word) is a noun formed from a verb by adding -ing. Itu adalah definisi gerund yang saya temukan pada situs englishlanguageguide.
So, gerund adalah kata kerja yang berfungsi sebagai kata benda dan karenanya dapat berfungsi sebagai subjek, objek dan pelengkap (complement) dalam kalimat, juga di belakang sebuah preposisi (membingungkan ya, hehe…. nyerah). Bentuk gerund biasanya disebut verb+ing. Mungkin istilah itulah yang biasa kita kenal selama ini mengenai gerund. Singkatnya, GERUND adalah kata benda yang dibentuk dari kata kerja (verb) + ing.
Examples :
Swimming is a good sport (as subject)
I like swimming (as object)
My hobby is swimming (as complement)
Nah, dari beberapa contoh di atas, kita bisa melihat contoh penggunaan gerund yang bisa bertindak sebagai subjek, objek, dan pelengkap. Dan bentuknya adalah noun atau kata benda.

How or when we use GERUND?

Beberapa kata, seperti adjektives (kata sifat), prepositions (kata depan) dan verbs (kata kerja) harus diikuti oleh bentuk -ING (gerund).
Penggunaan Gerund setelah adjectives (with preposition)
Adjektives + preposisi berikut harus diikuti dengan bentuk -ING :
afraid of, angry about / at, bad at, busy, clever at, interested in, proud of, crazy about, disappointed about, excited about, famous for, fond of, sorry about, worried about.
Examples:

  • He’s afraid of going by plane.
  • I am interested in visiting the museum.
  • He is clever at skateboarding.
  • The girl is crazy about playing tennis.
  • I’m worried about making mistakes.

Penggunaan Gerund setelah preposisi
Preposisi-preposisi yang diikuti dengan gerund :
about, of, from, about, after, apart from, before, by, in, instead of, on, without, because of.
Examples:

  • Before going to bed he turned off the lights.
  • She avoided him by walking on the opposite side of the road.
  • We arrived in Madrid after driving all night.
  • He told the joke without laughing.

Penggunaan Gerund setelah verbs (kata kerja)
verbs berikut harus diikuti dengan gerund:
admit, advise, allow, appreciate, avoid, suggest, understand, miss, reject, consider, delay, deny, dislike, enjoy, resist, imagine, permit, practise.
Examples:

  • I enjoy cooking.
  • He admitted having driven too fast.
  • Ralph is considering buying a new house.
  • I delayed telling Max the news.
  • They miss playing with their friends.

Selain itu, gerund juga harus mengikuti beberapa kata berikut:
prefer, admit, delay, avoid, mind, like, enjoy, continue, fond, busy, etc.
Examples:

  • I prefer singing to dancing
  • She was busy writing a letter
  • Donny is fond dancing

TUGAS SOFTSKILL – PROUNOUNS

prounouns

 

In Indonesian, both subjective and objective pronouns are the same. Possessive pronouns are slightly different in informal situations only. Below is the table:

English Formal Informal Informal Possesive
I Saya Aku -ku
You Anda Kamu -mu
He/She/It Beliau Dia -nya
We (inclusive) Kita Kita Kita
We (exclusive) Kami Kami Kami
You (Plural) Kalian Kalian Kalian
They Mereka Mereka Mereka

Note that there are two notions of “we” in Indonesian. If the opposite party is included, then we use “kita”. Otherwise, we use “kami”.
Contoh (Example):

  • Budi: “Wati, ini buku kita.” (= Wati, this is our book.)

Here, Budi speaks to Wati that this book is both Budi’s and Wati’s book. However, if Budi said, “Wati, ini buku kami.”; it means that this book is Budi’s (and probably his other friend’s), but not Wati’s.
To refer a third person that has already died, He/She/It, when person we are speaking about already passed away and we want to refer to those people with respect, we use another word almarhum meaning “he” when the he is already died and “he” happens to be a respectable person. For female we use the word almarhumah. This is a rare instance when Bahasa Indonesia is gender specific. This is a loan word from Arabic which literally means: “who was blessed by God.” In this sense, this is actually a euphemism.

Kata Kepunyaan (Possessive Pronoun)

As you probably have noted in the previous example, the position of possessive pronoun is reversed in Indonesian.
Contoh (Example):

  • Buku kami. (= our book(s))
  • Apel mereka. (= their apple(s))
  • Jerukku. (= my orange(s))
  • Gelasnya. (= his/her/its glass(es))
  • Bolpenmu. (= your pen(s))
  • Coklat saya. (= my chocolate(s))
  • Mobil beliau. (= his/her/its car)

In these examples, notice that when using informal possessive of singular person, the suffix is put together with the noun.
Although in spoken Indonesian it is acceptable to say “gelas dia” instead of “gelasnya” and “bolpen kamu” instead of “bolpenmu”, it is incorrect to say “jeruk aku” to mean “my orange”.

Kata Kepunyaan #2 (Possessive Pronoun Part 2)

In most languages there is the possibility of both adjective-like posessives “this is my book” and noun like adjectives “this book is mine” or “this is mine.” Indonesian doesn’t do this exactly like this but does have an equivalent:

  1. Buku ini punyaku. (This book is mine)
  2. Buku ini punyamu. (This book is yours)
  3. Buku ini punyanya. (This book is his/hers/its)
  4. Buku ini punya saya. (This book is mine)
  5. Buku ini punya kami. (This book is ours) (exclusive)
  6. Buku ini punya kita. (This book is ours) (inclusive)
  7. Buku ini punya mereka. (This book is theirs)
  8. Buku ini punya Budi. (This book is Budi’s)
  9. Ini punyaku. (This is mine)

Notice that this kind of structure is “bridged” by the word “punya”, which means “to have”. You can then put the appropriate suffix or word to indicate the ownership.
A synonym of “punya” is “milik”. Hence you can change “punya” with “milik”.
Example:

  1. Buku ini milikku
  2. Buku ini milikmu
  3. Buku ini miliknya

Contoh (Examples)

Below are some examples that summarise what we’ve learnt:

  1. Saya punya buku kuning. (= I have a yellow book)
  2. Buku saya kuning. (= My book is yellow).
  3. Kamu punya bolpen biru, bukan bolpen hitam. (= You have a blue pen, not a black pen)
  4. Dia tidak punya pensil hijau. (= He/she/it doesn’t have a green pencil)
  5. Budi punya apel merah. (= Budi has a red apple/red apples)
  6. Apel merah ini punya Budi. (= This red apple is Budi’s)

Note that at the third example we use “bukan” to deny the noun (i.e. the pen). At the fourth example, we use “tidak” to deny the ownership, which is considered as a verb (i.e. “doesn’t have”). Note also how we can put names in ownership at example five and six with the word “punya”.

SOFTSKILL – KALIMAT AKTIF DAN PASIF DALAM BAHASA INGGRIS

KALIMAT PASIF DAN AKTIF DALAM BAHASA INGGRIS

 

Bahasa Inggris memiliki dua bentuk kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu pikiran. Kedua bentuk kalimat tersebut adalah kalimat aktif dan kalimat pasif. Dalam kalimat aktif subject melakukan pekerjaan, atau melakukan suatu perbuatan. Dengan ciri khas bahwa kata kerja yang digunakan berawalan “me-“. Sedangkan di dalam kalimat pasif , subject dalam kalimat tersebut tidak melakukan pekerjaan/perbuatan, melainkan dikenai pekerjaan/perbuatan. Dengan ciri khas bahwa kata kerja yang digunakan dalam kalimat tersebut berawalan “di-“.
Kata kerja yang digunakan dalam kalimat pasif bahasa Inggris adalah:

be + Verb 3 (Past Participle)
“Be” itu sendiri dibuat sesuai dengan tense yang digunakan dalam kalimat itu dan disuikan dengan subject kalimat tersebut.

Kalimat aktif diubah menjadi kalimat pasif dengan menjadikan “object” kalimat aktif itu sebagai “Subject” kalimat pasif tersebut. Berdasarkan hal itu jelaslah bahwa hanya kalimat yang memiliki “object” yang dapat diubah menjadi pasif.

Contoh:
Yanto slapped the boy on his face.
S P O
Kalimat tersebut dapat diubah menjadi:
The boy was slapped on his face.
S P

Object pelaku kalimat pasif yang dalam bahasa inggris dinyatakan dengan kata “by …” jarang diucapkan, karena kalimat pasif cenderung untuk hanya mengemukakan aktifitas . object pelaku diucapkan/ditilis hanya bila memang diperlukan, sebagai kelengkapan arti kalimat pasif bersangkutan.

Contoh :
The queen invited us to dinner.
Kalimat ini akan menjadi:
We were invited to dinner by the queen.

Bila pada sebuah kalimat aktif terdapat dua object , maka subject kalimat pasifnya dapat dipilih dari kedua object tersebut. Namun biasanya dalam bahasa inggris object manusia yang digunakan/dipilih sebagai subject kalimat pasif.

Contoh:
Aktif : I shall give her a new pen.
Pasif : 1. She will be given a new pen.
2. A new pen will be give
