Apapun dalam Bhs. Inggeris tidak terlepas dari golongan kata (kata kerja, kata sifat, Jabatan (benda), Tempat dsb.) karena golongan kata tersebut yang menuntun kita dalam membuat kalimat lisan dan tulisan.

KATA SIFAT BERTEMU DENGAN KATA BENDA

Bila kata sifat bertemu dengan kata benda, maka kata sifat didahulukan kemudian Kata bendanya kebalikan dengan Bhs. Indonesia. Misalnya:

Anak laki2 pintar – Clevel boyAnak perempuan malas – Lazy girlPelajar bodoh – Stupid studentRanking atas – High RankTegangan Tinggi – High voltageTegangan Rendah – Low voltageResiko besar – big riskPelajaran sulit – difficult lesson

KATA BENDA BERTEMU DENGAN KATA BENDABila Kata Benda bertemu dangan Kata Benda maka kita menggunakan kata “OF”, misalnya:Nama orang – name of person atau person nameKartu Identitas – card of intentity – indentity cardUniversitas Moslim Indonesia – University of Moslem of Indonesia atau Indonesia Moslem University.Universitas Hasanuddin – University of hasanuddin atau Hasanuddin University.Examples:He is a good doctorMy teacher is a very wise teacher

His darling is a beautiful girlThey are very brave soldiersSultan Hasanuddin is a brave hero from GowaEnglish is a difficult lesson

PRESENT TENSE (THE VERB OF TO DO)Dalam bahasan ini kita akan mengenal dua pokok kalimat atau subyek yaitu Orang Pertama (I, You, We, They) dan predikat tidak mendapat tambahan “S” dan Orang Ketiga (He, She, It) dan mendapat tambahan “S atau ES”.

Contoh orang Pertama tunggal+ You smoke Gudang Garam every day? do you smoke Gudang Garam every day?- You do not smoke Gudang Garam every day? Do you not smoke Gudang Garam every day?

Contoh orang Ketiga tunggal+ He calls me by phone every week? Does He call me by phone every week?- He doe not call me by phone every week? Doe He not call me by phone every week?

Catatan: Kata “Apakah” untuk digunakan bertanya tidak ada Bhs. Inggerisnya, tetapi tergantung pada Tense atau kalimatnya.
