Phenomena vs phenomenon Phenomena merupakan plural noun sedangkan phenomenon adalah singular noun.wish vs hopeWish digunakan ketika pembicara menginginkan hal yang sama sekali berbeda dengan kenyataan yang ada, atau kebalikan dari kenyataan. e.g. KENYATAAN: I dont know her. WISH: I wish I knew her. Kenyataannya: I dont know her. wish kebalikan dari itu: I knew her.Dalam contoh tadi, pada kenyataannya: Aku tidak mengenal dia. wish berarti kita ingin keadaan yang sebaliknya: Andai aku mengenal dia.Bentuk kata kerja setelah wish mirip dengan yang digunakan pada kalimat perumpamaan (conditional). Wish juga diikuti oleh klausa kata benda. e.g. I wish I knew her. Wish diikuti oleh klausa (clause) kata benda I knew her.Kami membagi wish ke dalam tiga jenis: wish tentang masa depan (future), wish tentang saat ini (present), dan wish tentang masa lalu (past).a) wish tentang masa depan (future). Perhatikan perubahan bentuk kata kerja pada kalimat kenyataan- TRUE (T) dan pada kalimat dengan WISH (W).Untuk menghemat tempat, kami menggunakan V1, bukan infinitive. (T) will not + V1 (W) would + V1. e.g. (T) He will not come to the party. (W) I wish he would come to the party. (T) isnt going to + V1 (W) were going to + V1. e.g. (T) He isnt going to come. (W) I wish he were going to come. (T) cant + V1 (W) could + V1. e.g. (T) He cant come to the party. (W) I wish he could come to the party.b) wish tentang saat ini (present). Perhatikan perubahan bentuk kata kerja pada kalimat kenyataan- TRUE (T) dan pada kalimat dengan WISH (W). (T) dont/ doesnt + V1 (W) V2 (simple past form). e.g. (T) I dont know her. (W) I wish I knew her. (T) is/ are + V-ing (W) werent + V-ing. e.g. (T) It is raining now. (W) I wish it werent raining now. (T) cant + V1 (W) could + V1. e.g. (T) I cant speak French. (W) I wish I could speak French.c) wish tentang masa lalu (past). Perhatikan perubahan bentuk kata kerja pada kalimat kenyataan- TRUE (T) dan pada kalimat dengan WISH (W). (T) didnt + V1 (W) had + V3 (past participle). e.g. (T) He didnt come to the party. (W) I wish he had come .. . (T) couldnt + V1 (W) could have + V3 (past participle). e.g. (T) He couldnt come. (W) I wish he could have come.Ingat, wish dan hope berbeda dalam hal arti dan bentuk kata kerja (verb form) yang mengikutinya.2.Hope digunakan ketika ada harapan (kesempatan) untuk sesuatu terjadi atau untuk berbicara tentang harapan. Hal ini berlawanan dengan wish.Hope dapat diikuti oleh V1 (present) atau will + V1 (future). e.g. I hope you pass the exam. atau I hope youll pass the exam.Wish digunakan bila kita ingin hal yang berbeda dr kenyataan; hope membicarakan tentang harapan (ada kemungkinan hal itu terjadi).UK slang1.

degrees of comparison

Ada 3 jenis tingkat perbandingan (degress of comparison) dalam bahasa Inggris.1. Positive degree: ketika kita hanya membicarakan satu orang atau satu hal saja.Contoh:1. This house is big. (Rumah ini besar.)2. This flower is beautiful. (Bunga ini indah.)Jadi dalam satu kalimat hanya menyebutkan satu kata benda (dalam hal ini rumah/bunga).2. Comparative degree: ketika kita membandingkan dua orang atau dua hal.Contoh:1. This house is bigger than that one. (Rumah ini lebih besar dari rumah itu.)2. This flower is more beautiful than that. (Bunga ini lebih indah dari bunga itu.)3. Superlative degree: ketika kita membandingkan satu orang/hal terhadap lebih dari dua/lebih orang/hal lainnya.Contoh:1. This is the biggest house in this street. (Rumah ini adalah rumah terbesar di jalan ini.)2. This flower is the most beautiful one in this garden. (Bunga ini adalah bunga terindah di taman ini.)Bagaimana dengan aturan tingkat perbandingan untuk adjective yang terdiri dari satu suku kata?a) Jawabannya, cukup tambahkan [-er] untuk membentuk comparative degree dan [-est] untuk membentuk superlative degree.Contoh:1. small / smaller / (the) smallest2. light / lighter / (the) lightestb) Untuk adjective dengan 1 suku kata yang berakhiran [-e], cukup tambahkan [-r] untuk comparative dan [-st] untuk superlative.Contoh:1. large / larger / (the) largest2. nice / nicer / (the) nicestc) Untuk adjective dengan 1 suku kata berakhiran konsonan-vokal-konsonan, tambahkan konsonan terakhir + [-er] u/ comparative atau [-est] untuk superlative.Contoh :1. fat / fatter / (the) fattest2. big / bigger / (the) biggestd) Untuk adjective dengan 2 suku kata, di depan kata tersebut tambahkan [more] untuk comparative dan [most] untuk superlative.Contoh:1. boring / more boring / (the) most boring2. pleasant / more pleasant / (the) most pleasante) Untuk adjective dengan 2 suku kata berakhiran [-y], ganti [-y] dengan [-i] lalu tambahkan [-er] untuk comparative dan [-est] untuk superlative.Contoh:1. friendly / friendlier / (the) friendliest2. happy / happiest / (the) happiestf) Ada adjective dengan 2 suku kata yang menggunakan penambahan [-er] i/ comparative dan [-est] u/ superlative sebagai akhirannya.Contoh:1. narrow / narrower / (the) narrowest2. clever / cleverer / (the) cleverest3. gentle / gentler / (the) gentlestg) Jika kalian tidak yakin bentuk mana yang harus digunakan untuk adjective dengan 2 suku kata, maka bisa gunakan [more] dan [most]. Karena penggunaan [more] dan [most] sudah semakin banyak diterima untuk adjective dengan 2 suku kata.Contoh: simple / more simple atau simpler / (the) most simplest atau (the) simplestNamun jangan gabungkan penggunaan [more/most] dengan [-er/-est]. Pilih salah satu saja.h) Untuk adjective dgn 3 suku kata/lebih, di depan kata tambahkan [more] untuk comparative dan [most] untuk superlative.Contoh :1. beautiful / more beautiful / (the) most beautiful2. interesting / more interesting / (the) most interestingi) Di samping semua yang sudah disebutkan di atas, ada juga irregular adjectives yang memang harus kita hafal. :)Contoh :1. good (well) / better / (the) best2. bad / worse / (the) worst3. little / less / (the) least4. much, many / more / (the) most5. far / farther. further / (the) farthest, furthest6. old / older, elder / (the) oldest, eldestj) Lalu ada beberapa adjective yang tidak memiliki bentuk positive, hanya comparative dan superlative.Contoh :1. inner / (the) inmost, innermost2. outer / (the) outmost, outermost3. utter / (the) utmost, uttermost4. upper / (the) upmost, uppermostuntil vs byHey, fellas!

Aku bisa kembali lebih awal, tapi paling lambat hari Kamis.Contoh: It must be ready BY Friday.Arti: Harus siap paling lambat hari Jumat. Boleh saja jadi/selesai sebelum hari Jumat.

Dont have to digunakan untuk menyatakan sesuatu tidak diwajibkan sedangkan must not menyatakan sesuatu yang dilarang. Contoh: You dont have to tell him. (Kamu boleh memberitahunya, boleh tidak.) You must not tell him. (Kamu tidak boleh memberitahunya.)Have to dapat dipakai untuk past, present, dan future sedangkan must hanya dipakai untuk present. Untuk past tense digunakan had to.Contoh: He has to get up early. I had to go to bank yesterday. We will have to arrive early. I must take more exercise.Setelah penggunaan modals (will, may, should) untuk menyatakan keharusan/tanggung jawab digunakan have to bukan must.Di British English, sering digunakan have got to untuk menyatakan have to. Have got to bersifat lebih informal sedangkan have to bersifat lebih formal. Contoh: Ive got to stop smoking.Must juga bisa digunakan untuk menyatakan kemungkinan/probabilitas.

Sebelum kita ke buka puasa, ada baiknya kita bahas kata-kata pembentuknya satu per satu. Whats puasa and buka in English?NOTE: tentu buka di sini konteksnya digunakan pada puasa. Bisa jadi berbeda arti dengan buka (misal) pada buka pintu (open a door).Buka kamus sebentar yuk. Menurut kamus: puasa: fast (berpuasa: fasting) buka/membatalkan (puasa): break (the fast)Wah, dari penjelasan tadi pun sebenarnya terjawab sudah. Buka puasa: break the fast. Tapi pertanyaannya, bagaimana dengan ungkapan lain?Terutama yang sering kita dengar seperti:1. open fasting2. break fasting3. fast breaking4. iftarYang mana yang benar?Ada baiknya kita kupas satu per satu :)1) Open fasting (terjemahan asal: open = buka, fasting = puasa). Well, it doesnt work that way. Walaupun arti open = buka, tapi open tidak digunakan dalam hal ini. Karena buka yang dimaksud adalah membatalkan, bukan membuka (misal) pintu. Jadi open fasting kurang tepat ya. Dan satu alasan lagi kenapa kurang tepat juga alasan yang sama untuk ungkapan no 2) berikut ini2) Breakfast (noun/kata benda) = first meal of the day (makanan pertama yang dimakan hari itu), biasanya pagi, maka disebut makan pagi/sarapan. Breakfast juga bisa digunakan sebagai verb intransitive (kata kerja tanpa obyek), namun jarang digunakan. Lalu bagaimana dengan break fasting (dengan spasi)? Jika yang dimaksud break fasting: break = buka; fasting = puasa, maka susunan frasa ini kurang tepat.Masih ingat struktur phrase (frasa) dalam English? Yep, its MODIFIER + HEAD (dalam bhs Indonesia: Diterangkan Menerangkan/DM). Contoh: blue book (modifier: blue; head: book), dalam bahasa Indonesia: buku biru (buku: Diterangkan; biru: Menerangkan). Jadi kalau yang dimaksud break fasting sebagai terjemahan buka puasa karena break duluan trus fasting tentunya tidak tepat. Nah, dari aturan struktur noun phrase (admin koreksi) tadi, sampailah kita ke no 3).3) Fast breaking lebih tepat daripada break fasting. Tentu yang dimaksud dengan fast breaking di sini sebagai noun phrase. Contoh: How was your fast breaking? (Bagaimana buka puasamu?). Trus kalau mau bilang berbuka puasa (buka/berbuka sebagai verb/kata kerja)? Bisa. Its break the fast, break my fast, break a fast. Arti dan struktur break the fast berbeda dengan breakfast (a noun/verb) dan break fasting. Break = verb; the fast = noun.Nah sekarang yang terakhir.. 4) Iftar! Iftar justru ungkapan yang paling sering digunakan di dunia barat/oleh native English speaker. Iftar juga disebut sebagai Ramadan dinner (digunakan sebagai noun). Iftar diambil dari bahasa Arab.
