ThePart of speech.
Grammar, someone has said is the art of putting the right words in the right
places..
All the words in English can be put according to the work they do, into eight.They
are the parts of speech: Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs, Pronouns, Adverbs,
Prepositions, Conjunctions, and Interjections.
When you put words from these words in the right order, you get sentences.
What is a Noun ?
The is used when the noun which follows names an identified specimen,that
is when it is believed that the hearer knows which person,place or thing the noun
refers to.
Singular Plural
One table Two tables
Nouns ending in an S sound (s,z,ch,sh) add es rather than S ,simply for reasons of
pronunciation.The ES is then pronounced as a separate syllable.
.Examples:
Examples:
Calf…………..calves elf…………….elves
Half…………..halves knife……....knives
Life…………..lives wife……….wives
Leaf…………leaves sheaf………sheaves
Thief…………….thieves wolf………………wolves
Foot……………………feet tooth…………………teeth
Child…………………children goose…………………...geese

There are a number of common words that exist onlu in the plural: clothes,
riches, thanks, words describing instruments with a pair of similar opposing
4
parts such as : scissors, tongs, pliers, tweezers and articles of clothing with
two legs such as pants, trousers, breeches, shorts, slacks,drawers.
UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS;
ADJECTIVES
There are some words that go with nouns and tell us something about them
are called ADJECTIVES.
A fat man, a thin man, an old book,a new booka heavy box, a light box, a
red flower, a long lourney, a big dog, a good egg, a bed egg :they tell us
what sort of a noun are called ADJECTIVES OF QUALITY.
This is my cat, that is your cat, look at his cat, look at her cat, have you seen
our cat?, their cat is up the tree.In these sentences you will notice that
there are words that show to whom those various cat s belong.Thes words
are called POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES.
There are adjectives tha tell you how many or how much like : I have two
eyes, I have many friends, Fatma has much money etc. we called
ADJECTIVES OF QUANTITY.
There are also adjectives that point out nouns e.g : I like this car, Fatma likes
that bus etc. we called DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES.
NOTES; Most adverbs end in LY, ILY, ICALLY, although there are many which
do not e.g very, well, often, worse, seldom, sometimes ,etc. An adverb can
modify a verb, an adjective or another adverb. Good-Well, Fast-fast, hard-
hard, loud-loudly.
A fat man; a thin man; an old car; a new car; a heavy bos; a light box.etc
I have two eyes, Fatma has much money, They have many friends. Etc
c. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES:
Thes adverbs are called ADVERBS OF TIME ( tell us when the action was
done):
The old gentleman was a low walker.becomes The old gentleman walked
SLOWLY
9
Richard ran very quickly.He arrived TOO SOON. He answered the question
QUITE EASILY.
There are also adverbs that express “how often”,we called ADVERBS OF
QUANTITY,e.g:
WHERE are you going ? WHY did you do that ? WHEN WILL Fatma come
here ?
Come and seat near me.(preposition).If it is going with a verb (in which case
it won”t usually have a noun or a pronoun immediately after it) it is an
adverb.e.g: The boy seat near the door.( preposition ). The boy came
near,when he heard the music.( adverb ).

NOMINAL SENTENCES
VERBAL SENTENCES
A group of words that makes complete sense is a sentence. A sentence may make
a statement, ask a question, give a commant or make a request. A sentence has a
finite verb in it, but a phrase has not.Sentences may be joined together by a
conjuction or conjuctions.
The boy opened the door AND walked into the room.
Mery went to the baker”s shop for a loaf AND Fatma helped her mother in the
house, BUT Sumiati sat listening to the radio.
The sentences in a compound sentence are all of the same importance.But there
are some sentences that are not able to stand themselves. They contain a verb
but they make complete sense only when they are used with another
sentence,they are called CLAUSE.meaning : A CLAUSE is a sentence that does not
make complete sense by itself.It depends on another sentence for its full
meaning.
14
The woodman looked at the gold axe AND he looked at the silver axe AND he
looked at the wooden axe BUT he chose the wooden axe BECAUSE he was an
honest man SO the fairy gave himall the axes.
PARTS OF SENTENCE
6. THE LITTLE BOY,WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE ran down the street.
The word or group of words that we speak about (in a bolt tiped) in a sentence is
called the SUBJECT.
You will notice perhaps there is generally a noun or a pronoun in the subject ( the
Duke of Wellington,I,woodman,book,boy). There is also always a verb in the
predicate ( owned, can do, lost, has, ran ). In fact an easy way to find the subject
of a sentence is first of all to pick out the verb and ask it “who” or
“what”.examples: The little boy ran down the street.The verb is “ran” Who ran ?
the answer is “the little boy” so the subject is the little boy.
This book belongs to me. The verb is BELONGS. What belongs ? The answer is is
THE BOOK, so the book is the subject of the sentence.
The object of a sentence is a noun or pronoun which tell us the person or thing to
whom the action of thr verb happened.examples:
This shopkeeper sells bicycles. So the word bicycles is the object of the verb sells.
The dog killed a rat.He killed it yesterday.The words the rat an it are objects of the
verb killed.
Verbs that do not take objects are called INTRANSITIVE VERBS.examples: The dog
growled. The rat died.
She cried bitterly. Cotton grows in Egypt. Birds fly. The flowers are red.
16
NOTES; Words or phrases that are needed to complete the meaning of Intransitive
verbs,such as “be””seem””become”, are called COMPLEMENTS.
The SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE is used for a repeated or habitual action. THE
PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE is used for an action that still continuous.
The Simple Present says that something was true in the past, it is true in the
present, and will be true in the future.It is also used for general statements
of fact.Examples:
(c) The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
The Simple Present Tense is generally used for and action that is done
regularly,for an action that happens ,perhaps, everyday.So you often find
words like USUALLY, GENERALLY, EVERY DAY,SOMETIMES and
ALWAYS.etc
17
The Present Continuous Tense is one that most truly expresses an action
that is taking place NOW.
Examples: It”s time to pray now.Fatma needs a prayer mat. We can not
say It is time to pray now. Fatma is needing a prayer mat.
Sumiati wants to eat now because she is hungry. We can not say She is
wanting to eat now because she is hungry.
The other words not used in the Present Contiuous are : SEE, HEAR,
FEEL, TASTE, SMELL and states of mind , felings or relationship e.g; LOVE-
HATE-KNW-UNDERSTAND-REMEMBER-BELIEVE-SEEM-LOOK-APPEAR-
BELONG etc.Examples;
Time signals for Present Continuous Tense are usually indicated by;
NOW-AT THE MOMENT-THIS WEEK, THESE DAYS etc.
I me my mine
myself
We us our ours
ourselves
It it its its
itself

a particular time in the past.For examples: We studies English yesterday.
She lived in Jayapura for five years,but now she is living in Fakfak.

the action in WHEN CLAUSE happens first.For examples: I was in the
mosque when “muezzin”began to call to prayer. I stood under a tree when
it began to rain. Whenshe heard a strange noise, she got up to investigate.
When I dropped my cup, the coffee spilled on my lap(pangkuan).

statements.These quantity expressions are used chiefly in questions and negative
statements and in the subject noun phrases of affirmative sentences.
5.a lot of , a great deal of, a large of amount of are regularly used in place of
MUCH and MANY in the object noun phrases of affirmative statements especially
in formal situations.
25
6.few and a few, little and a little are slightly different.a few means a small
number and a little means a small quantity.Few means not…MANY, LITTLE

with uncountable nouns.e.g: COUNTABLE : a book –some books. UNCOUNTABLE :
some ink – some sugar.Exception : some things – something; some days-someday.
NOTES : some words may be confusing because the spelling does not indicate the
pronunciation.The following words begin with a consonant sound and thus must
always be preceded by a. e.g: a European, a eulogy, a euphemism, a eucalyptus, a
university, a universal, a uniform, a union.
26
\The following words begin with a vowel sound and thus must always be preceded
by an. E.g : an hour, an heir, an herbal, an honest man, an umbrella, an unnatural,

GRAMMAR REVIEW
THE MODAL AUXILIARIES:A modal verb is a verb used with another verb (not a
modal) to express possibility (kemungkinan) ,permission (izin) and obligation
(keharusan)/kewajiban) . It is also used to express a speaker’s attitude (sikap) or
moods (perasaan hati) tertentu. Related to this, a modal can express that a
speaker feels something is necessary, advisable, permissible or probable; in
addition, it can convey the strength of this attitudes.
In general, the word COULD is the same sense as the word can, but could is
regarded to be more polite when it is used to indicate permission or
request.e.g:Could I have your name,Sir? Or Could you pray in congregation with
us before you leave ?(Dapatkah Anda salat berjamaah bersama kami sebelum
Anda pergi ?)The other usages of COULD are indicates :RESULT (Akibat/hasil)
e.g:I am so hungry that I could eat a horse.(Saya sangat lapar sehingga saya bisa
makan seekor kuda).Indicates POSSIBILITY (Kemungkinan) e.g: You could be
right, I suppose.(Saya kira anda bisa benar juga.)Indicates SUGGESTION
(saran)e.g: You could pray at home when it rains.
2.MAY-MIGHT
1.We use MAY and MIGHT (boleh-mungkin) to talk about possible actions or
happenings in the future.e.g: I haven’t decided yet where to pray the Jumah, I
may go to the Mesjid Agung.This means ,that I perhaps will go to the Mesjid
Agung to pray the Jumah. Don’t call me at 7 P.M.I might be reciting the Qurán
before doing the Isya prayer.
2.May indicates permission and possibility, and expresses wishes and hopes.e.g:
You may go to Mecca to perform the ümrah whenever you wish. The story of Siti
Nurbaya may not be true.May you both very happy.(Semoga anda berdua amat
bahagia).
3.We use only MIGHT (not may) when the situation is not real.for example: If
we knew Kabayan better, we might invite him to our wedding party. The
situation here is not real because we don’t know Kabayan very well, so we are
not going to invite him.For this reason, the word MAY does not fit the sentence.
past.e.g: We must pray the Zuhr now. Today is Thursday.We must go to the
mosque to pray the Jumah tomorrow. Must is personal.We use MUST when we
give our personal feelings.e.g: Mr.Amin is a polite man.you must talk to him
politely. In contrast, HAVE TO is impersonal.We use have to not for feelings,but
for the facts.e.g: His eyesight isn’t good. He has to wear glasses for reading.
(Pandangan matanya tidak baik.Dia harus memakai kacamata untuk baca.
The meaning of must not (musn’t) and that of don’t have to are completely
not alike.Compare these two examples1) You must pay the Jumah in
congregation.You must not pray alone.(Anda harus salat Jumat berjamaah.Anda
tidak boleh sendirian).2) You can tell me secrecy if you want but you don’t have
to tell me.(Anda bisa menceritakan rahasia anda pada sya jika kau mau,tapi
anda tidak harus menceritakannya pada saya).
5.SHALL- WILL
1. Normally we use SHALL (akan) only with the pronoun I and We. Like WILL,
SHALL is also used to express future time but is uncommon in American
English.Shall is used much more frequently in Britain and some other countries
in which the British English is formally applied.e.g: I shall be very tired this
evening. We shall probably go to the new mosques net Friday.
2. In general, WILL is used to form the future tense that expresses prediction
and willingness.e.g: According to the weather report,it will rain tomorrow. Tell
me your problem, I will help you.
3. Sometimes we use will to talk about now.example: Don’t ask Asmeni to come
now.She ‘ll pray.
30
6.SHOULD-OUGHT TO
7.HAD BETTER
The meaning of had better is more or less similar to that of should or ought to,
but had better is usually stronger.Had better has a present or future meaning
and frequently implies a warning or a threat of possible bad
consequences.eamples: 1) It’S nearly 3 P.M. You had better oray the Zuhr
now.2) You had better not believe in superstition (takhyul) because it harms
your faith.
8.WOULD D
1.Would can be used to express an action that was repeated regularly in the
past.Would, thus ,has the similar meaning to used to (biasanya) .for example:
When I was a child my mother would tell me an exemplary (teladan) story at
night before bed or When I was a child my mother used to tell me an exemplary
story at night before bed.2) We also used WOULD (alangkah) when we imagine
a situation or action, example: It would be nice to fly abroad but I can’t afford it.
(Alangkah asyiknya trbangke luar negeri,tapi aku tak mampu membiayainya).
SHOULD………..OBLIGATION/DESIRABILITY………….( ought to )
to).
The Past Perfect Tense; to express action before another action or a certain time
in the past,e.g:Ahamd had learned Arabic before he came to Egypt.
To express an idea that in direct speech had been in the present perfect
tense,e.g: Direct: He said,Ï have written her a letter.” Indirect : He said that he
had written her a letter. To express a past condition or supposition with an
implied negative.e.g: If I had known that you wanted the book, I would have

GRAMMAR REVIEW
The government has been endeavoring to increase the literacy rate through
direct method.(Pemerintah sudah sedang berusaha keras untuk meningkatkan
angka melek huruf melalui metode langsung).Time expressions with since and
for are used with the present perfect progressive(continuous).
I have been taking an English course for two months.This means that the
speaker began attending the course two months ago and has continued since
that time.In other words the English learning process has been in progress and is
still in progress.
The Muslim jurists (ahli hukum) have been elaborating economic question since
years ago.It should be noted that with some verbs (live,teach,work etc), the
duration can be expressed by either the present perfect or the present perfect
progressive(continuous).
Professor Sum has been teaching Islamic Political Thought for fifteen years.This
sentence has the same meaning as Professor Sum has taught Islamic Political
Thought for fifteen years.The rule : SUBJECT + HAVE/HAS+BEEN+VERB ing…..
2.THE PAST PERFECT PROGRESSIVE (Continuous): gives the idea that one event
was in progress immediately before another time or event.In general the tense
is used to express the duration of the first event in the past.The rule is: SUBJECT
+ HAD BEEN + VERB ing…. e.g: I had been reciting the Holy Qurán for an hour
before you came .The prophet Muhammad had been teaching the religion of
God for twenty-three years before he passed away.
34
Sometimes the future perfect progressive and the future perfect give the same
meaning.This sentence,for instance, may be changed without changing the
meaning into when the professor retires next month ,he will have taught for 45
years.It should be noted tha the teaching activity expressed by either of the two
tenses began in the past.The rule: SUBJECT+WILL HAVE BEEN+VERB ing.
GRAMMAR REVIEW
THE GERUNDS, or a verbal noun (kata benda kerja) is formed from a verb by
adding-ing, the same as the present participle.The word read (membaca ) for
example becomes reading (bacaan).In this regard the –ing form is used as a
noun.examples: 1.He often prays together with others, because praying in a
congregation is more rewarding.2. Do not tell a lie, because telling a lie is a
sinning.(Jangan berdusta,sebab berdusta itu perbuatan dosa).
GERUND AS SUBJECT.
The understanding of the Holy Quran requires knowledge of Arabic and hadith.
Notice that the gerund understanding can not be preceded by the unless it is
followed by qualifying phrase such as of psychology in the phrase the
understanding of psychology.(pemahaman mengenai psikologi).
35
There are also some phrasal verbs commonly followed by gerunds: ADJUST TO,
APPROVE OF, BE BETTER OFF, BE ACCOSTUMED TO, BE INTERESTED IN, BE USED
TO, CAN’T HELP, COUNT ON, DO NOT MIND, FORGET ABOUT, GET THROUGH,
GIVE UP, INSIST ON, KEEP ON, LOOK FORWARD TO, OBJECT TO, THINK ABOUT,
and THINK OF.e.g:He looks forward to working in England next year. She
approved of her husband’s working abroad despite the serious problem
between them.He likes reading detective story. Fatma hates smoking. The
teachers dislike our cheating during the test.Is there anything worth buying?She
didn’t object to my staying here for a while.The maid denied having stolen the
jewels.Do you mind shutting the door?It is windy.She suggested holding an
experiment to prove that your theory is not wrong.Try to avoid giving the
students a chance to cheat.Did you enjoy spending the holiday in the country?
Stop quarreling,please! I want to go.I have not finished doing this assignment
yet.My neighbor has given up drinking and gambling.I am sorry,sir.I could not
help laughing because he said something funny.You can’t see the manager
36
now.He is busy talking to his business partner.You have to practice speaking and
reading English everyday if you want to master the language.It is no use advising
him,he is very stubborn.She didn’t remember seeing me before.The wall needs
painting.
NOTES: A gerund is a word derived from a verb and used as a noun.Gerunds end
in –ing.Gerunds may be used as subject of the sentence,complement (predicate-
noun),direct object,object of preposition etc.e.g: PLAYING tennis is her hobby.
(as subject of the sentence),His chief interested is HUNTING.(used as predicate
noun), They like SWIMMING.(used as direct object).She is good at DRAWING.
(used as object of preposition).
GRAMMAR REVIEW:
The Pasive Voice.The passive voice is formed from the verb TO BE including am-
is-was-were-have been-and so on used as an auxiliary, and the past participle of
the main verb, which is transitive (like written etc) not intransitive (like slept
etc).Additionally, the special auxiliaries CAN BE- MUST BE- SHOULD BE and so
forth are also possible to be used in the passive voice.
In the active voice, the subject of the sentence performs the action.example:
Adam used a prayer mat for praying. In the passive voice, the subject is acted
upon by someone or something.Ex: The prayer mat was used by Adam.
Normally the passive voice is used only when the agent (pelaku) who performs
some action is not known or is not important.e.g: English is studied all round the
world.The Republic of Indonesia was established in l945.The final exam will be
held next week.
We use an active verb in active voice to express what the subject did or
does.Example:Professor Shihab was a writer.He wrote this book in 2000.This
sentence can be put into passive voice;This book was written by Professor
Shihab in 2000.
Notice: that the use of the passive voice for some tenses, such as the future
progressive tense is not common in English.
37
Active: The teacher teaches students the religion of Islam every Friday.
Pass : The religion of Islam is taught to students every Friday.or Students are
taught the religion of Islam every Friday.
Active : The teacher will teach students the religion of Islam tomorrow.
Passive : Students will be taught the religion of Islam tomorrow.or The religion
of Islam will be taught to students tomorrow.
Passive : The religion of Islam is being taught to students.or Students are being
taught the religion of Islam.
Active : The teacher was teaching students the relgion of Islam when I came
yesterday.
Paasive: Students were being taught the religion of Islam when I came.or The
religion of Islam was being taught to students when I came.
Passive: The religion of Islam has been taught to students.or Students have been
taught the religion of Islam.
Active : The teacher had taught the religion of Islam before I came yesterday.
Active : The teacher will have taught the religion of Islam before he teaches
Arabic tomorrow.
Passive: The use of passive voice form of the future perfect tense is less common
in English.

HAVE: She has a bad cold. HAVE GOT: She has got a bad cold.
In the past we don’t normally use got. In the past question and negative
sentences,we say:DID you have a car when you lived in London? He didn’t have
an umbrella, so he got wet in the rain.
HAVE for ACTIONS: example: I HAVE breakfast with my family. We really HAD a
good time last week. DID you HAVE a long holiday last year? John usually KAD
a cup of coffee for breakfast when he was at work.
We use an appropriate formof TO HAVE or TO GET and the past participle of the
verb when we wish to show that we caused someone else to perform an
action,Meanwhile we can also use the Simple Form of the verb preceded by
HAVE to show that the Subject asks or causes to someone else to do
something.Example:Simple Present Tense: He often shines his shoes.I repair my
watch.We bring the radio to the house.
Causative Form: He often HAS his shoes SHINED. I GET my watch REPAIRED.We
HAVE them BRING the radio to the house.
44
In the first two example, the past participle SHINED and REPAIRED are used
because the shoes are shined and the watch is repaired by someone not
mentioned.I the third example,the Simple form of the verb BRING is used
because we BRING the radio.
1.In a DIRECT QUOTATION, we give the words of the speaker exactly as he has
spoken then.Examples:
My sister said that SHE HAD TOLD father about the story.
2.INDIRECT SPEECH.
Mother asked when I left for New York.Direct: I asked,”Why are you
crying?.Indirect: I asked why she was crying.
Direct; He said to me,”Wait for me”. Indirect: He told me to wait for him.
Direct:She said to me,”Don”t wait for me”. Indirect: She told me not to wait for
her.Direct: She asid to me,”Wake me up at five o’clock “.Indirect: She told me to
wake her up at five o’clock.
2.The present tense is always retained in both formal and informal English when
the reported sentence deals with a general truth.e.g:Our teacher said that the
world is round. He said that Islam is God’s religion.
3.The use of that (bahwa) is usually optional after say and tell. However, it is
usually obligatory after declare, mention, report and state when introducing
another clause.e.g: 1.Our president declared that everyone had to be a law-
obiding citizen.(warga yg.taat hukum).2. The cognitive researcher reported that
brain was more important for learning than organs.
NOTICE:
QUOTED SPEECH:
REPORTED SPEECH:
THE SENTENCE; All people need to express their thought and feelings to
others.Expression may take many forms other than words.For example; a smile
or the face may show happiness.A shrug of the shoulders may express
uncertainty.A siren indicates a fire or an accident.An arrow points out a one-way
street. Of course, the two most commons forms of communication –speaking
and writing depend on words.When words are combined in a meaningful
arrangement, or pattern,communication takes place.The pattern used in
speaking and writing often differs.When we speak ,we very often depend on
gesture and facial expressions to help communicate thoughts and ideas.But
when we write, we have only words and punctuation.To make ideas clear and
easy to read, we must construct good sentences and punctuate them properly.
SUBJECT PREDICATE
48
A sentence generally does one of the three things:1.It makes a statement (He is
teaching you English). 2.I asks a question.( Do you understand his English?) 3.It
gives a command or makes a request.( Bring your book here. Please help me
with my work.)
Simple Sentence: A simple sentence has two essential parts: one simple subject,
and one simple predicat, or it has a compound subject and a compound
predicate. SUBJECT PREDICATE
PREDICATE SUBJECT
When helping verbs are used, the verb in a sentence is a group of words.e.g:
Helen HAS REVEALED the secret. My father WILL HAVE the house painte. They
ARE LEARNING to read the Arabic texts. That dog IS BARKING at a stranger. Ralf
WILL probably SELL his old machine.
49
He is a captain.
There are two kinds of subject complements, the predicate nominative, and the
predicate adjective.Both occur in the predicate of a sentence of a sentence and
both refer to the subject.
This piece of stone maybe an old ARROWHEAD. By night the sleet had become
SNOW.Porpoises are MEMEBRS of the whale family. A good dictionary is a
valuable TOOL for homework assignments.That unlucky swimmer might have
been YOU.
THE DIRECT OBJECT; A direct object receives the action of the verb or names the
result of this action.Only action verbs have direct objects.The verbs action
maybe either physical or mental.It answers the question “what”or “Whom”after
an action verb.e.g: Roy KNOCKED THE BALL into the stands.(physical action).
You CAN IMAGINE the result.(mental action).She BROUGHT one of the new
rackets.(what). Jack HAS INVITED you and me to his party.(whom).That shop
manufactures small parts for jets engines.(Parts is the result of the action of the
verb MANUFACTURE).A direct object can never follow a linking verb, since a
linking verb does not express action.You should notice, also, that a direct object
is never in a prepositional phrase.e.g: Augusta Savage WAS a sculptor during the
Harlem Renaissance.( the word WAS does not express action; therefor, it has no
direct object.)She learned a lesson in safety.(Lesson is the direct object of the
verb;SAFETY is the object of the preposition IN ).Direct object may be
compound,example: We bought RIBBON,WRAPPING PAPER and TAPE.(The
compound direct object of the verb is RIBBON,WRAPPING PAPER,and TAPE).
THE INDIRECT OBJECT. The next kind of complement, besides a direct object, is
the indirect object.Some verbs have both direct and indirect objects.When they
do, the sentence base consist of SUBJECT,VERB,INDIRECT OBJECT, and DIRECT
OBJECT.Like all complements, the indirect object helps to complete the meaning
begun by the subject and verb.A direct object answer questions WHAT and
WHOM after an action verb.An indirect object answers the question TO WHAT
or TO WHOM os FOR WHOM after a certain action.The indirect object always
comes before the direct object in the sentence.e.g: Pratiwi left THE WAITER a
tip.(WAITER is the indirect object of the verb left.It answer the question:’For
whom did she leave a tip).Despite her nervousness,Suprapti gave the audience a
quick glance.(Audience is the indirect object of the verb gave.It answers the
question: To what did she give a quick glance?).
A COMPOUND SENTENCE.
51
In the last fifty years scientists have conquered many diseases,BUT the common
cold persist.Citrus fruits AND green vegetables should be a part of everyone”s
diet,for they supply needed vitamins. He called the children to supper BUT
John refused to leave the ball game,AND Joice didn’t hear.
COMPLEX SENTENCES.
The complex sentence is a sentence that consist of two (or more) sentences,
which are called “Clause” One sentence is called the main sentence or the main
clause (induk kalimat) and the other is subordinate sentence or subordinate
clause (anak kalimat). In English there are three kinds of subordinate clause
namely; NOUN CLASUE, ADJECTIVE CLAUSE, ADVERB CLAUSE.
know THAT TWO AND TWO MAKE FOUR (OBJECT). Asmeni said THAT SHE WAS
WEARING A NEW DRESS. (object). These clauses are object of verbs.Those
clauses then are doing the work of a noun.They are NOUN CLAUSES.Almost
every noun clause you meet will be the object of a transitive verb ,usually a
verb like;SAY,THINK,BELIEVE etc.Sometimes nouns are the subject of a verb
like:YOUR WORK (subject) seems very difficult. THE PRISONER’s ESCAPE
(subject) is a complete mystery.WHAT YOU ARE DOING (subject) seems very
difficult. HOW THE PRISONER ESCAPED (subject) is a complete mystery.
NOTES: A clause that does the work of a noun in a sentence is a NOUN CLAUSE.A
noun clause is generally the object or the subject of a verb.
But when you are making complex sentences like this, remember to put the
adjective clause next to the noun it describes.
Simple sentence: The man couldn’t eat any fat.The man is called Jack Sprat.
Complex sentence; The man who couldn’t eat any fat is called Jack Sprat.
3.ADVERBIAL CLAUSE:
An adverb clause is one that does the work of an adverb.Clauses that tell HOW
an action is done are ADVERB CLAUSES OF MANNER,:those that tell WHEN an
action is done are ADVERB CLAUSES of TIME; and those that tell WHERE an
action is done are ADVERB CLAUSES OF PLACE..e.g:
MANNER: John did that work AS IT SHOULD BE DONE. The man ran AS IF
WOLVES WERE CHASING HIM. Answer the questions AS YOU HAVE BEEN
The thief ran away,WHEN HE SAW THE POLICEMAN. WHEN I HAVE FINISHED MY
WORK,I shall go out to play.The tooth stop aching, WHEN THE DENTIST CAME IN.
A cold wind sprang up ,JUST AS THE SUN WAS SETTING. Fatma decided to
wait,UNTIL THE TRAIN ARRIVED. (ADVERB OF TIME)
PLACE ;Sumiati put the meat,WHERE THE CAT COULDN’t reach it.The sailor went,
WHERE THEYEXPECTED TO FIND THE TREASURE. WHERE THERE ARE
FLOWERS,you will generally find bees. WHEREVER PRATIWI GOES,Asmeni is sure
to go.NOTES FOR ADVERBIAL CLAUSE: An adverbial clause is a dependent clause
used as an adverb; it therefore can modify a verb, an adjective, a verbal, and
another adverb.e.g:
1.He studies HARD.(adverb).He studies AS ALL HIS BROTHERS BEFORE HIM HAVE
STIDUED.(adverb clause).
4.You can learn English in LIA.(adverb of place.)You can learn English WHEREVER
YOU LIKE.(adverb clause of place.).
examination. You should read that lesson several times FOR FEAR THAT YOU
MIGHT FAIL IN THE EXAMINATION.
2.Adverb of Place; is used to answer the question where about the action of the
verb.It comes after the verb.Common adverbs of place are : away-Bandung-far-
far away-here-there etc.
56
3.Adverb of Time; usually follow the verb; however, they may also introduce the
sentence for reasons of style or for emphasis.Adverbs of time are early-
everyday-late-tomorrow etc.
MOOD.
The mood of a verb that shows the mode or manner in which the action is
shown.There are three MOOD, the Indicative Mood, Imperative Mood, and The
Subjunctive Mood.The most frequently used mood, by far, is the Indicative.The
Indicative Mood is used to make statements and ask questions,e.g:
Statements: “I heard a noise”. “The train is coming into the station.” “The earth
moves round the sun”.
Questions: “Did you hear that noise?”.”Are you Miss Brown”. “Have you
understood the lesson?.”The Imperative Mood is used to give commands or
make requests.e.g: Commands: “In the name of the law open the door,””Come
here and speak to me.””Don’t make a noise.””Run !.”
With a request we usually add “please”” examples: “Please don’t forget to write
to me.” “Don’t make a noise, please.””Please give Fatma my best wishes.” “Let
me help you.”
CONJUNCTIONS
words of equal value.The most common coordinate conjunctions are; and, but,
or, nor,for ;e.g : He and I are old friends. We wnet but they stayed home.
PAIRED CONJUNCTIONS.
4.NOT ONLY….BUT ALSO; has the same meaning AS BOTH…and, and as well as.
The conjunction NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO is used as a pair in joining like entities
59
that must be used together ( nou with oun, adjective with adjective, the word
ALSO can be omitted, but it is preferable not to omit it.The formula of this
conjunction is SUBJECT + VERB + NOT ONLY +
NOUN/adjective/adverb/prepositional phrases + but also +
noun/adjective/adverb/prepositional phrases.example: Asmeni speaks not only
Arabic but also English.She is not only smart but also honest.She speaks not only
fluently but also honestly.
