Grammar Review

To Be

To Be is the verb normally used to denote the existence of, or to give information
about a person or thing. Another use of to be is to link the subject and predicate of
a sentence When we make a sentence we need a verb, either full verb such as; to
speak, to listen, to write, to read etc, or verb (to be) such as; am, is or are. Look
at the following example:
Dedi is a carpenter
The cow is in the garden
Rudi is a good student

In the first sentence to be (is) gives information to us who Dedi is. While in the
second sentence, (is) informs us where the cow is. And (is) in the last sentence
links Rudi as the subject and a good student as the predicate.
Simple Present Tense
I am
You are
He is
She is
It is
We are
You are
They are

To be is one of the most important verbs in English. We also use it to talk about
age, nationality, jobs, emotions, the weather, time, etc …

Example: Nurse, singer, dancer, painter You are a plumber.
secretary, architect, journalist, She is an engineer .

police officer, firefighter We are technicians.
They are teachers.
You are politicians.

Grammar Review

Pronoun
1. What is pronoun?
Pronoun is a word like I, me, you, he, him, she, her, it, we, us, they, and
them. A pronoun takes the place of noun or a noun substitute. And the word or
structure it replaces or refers to be its antecedent. In this section we will
identify only three kinds of pronouns; personal pronouns, reflexive pronouns
and indefinite pronouns. Learn their forms and note also a few of their
function here.
2. What are personal pronouns?
The personal pronouns identify the person speaking (first person: I and we),
the person spoken to (second person: you), and he person or thing spoken about
(third person: he, she, it, and they). The personal pronouns have case, which
means that they change their form according to their use in the sentence. The
three cases in English are the subjective, the objective, and the possessive.
Note that no apostrophes are used in the possessive. For more detail, look at
the chart and examples below:
Subjective Objective Possessive
Number Person Case Case Case
Singular 1st I me my, mine
2nd you you you, yours
3rd he him his
she her her, hers
it it its

18
Plural 1st we us our, ours
2nd you you your, yours
3rd they them their, theirs

You have a good voice (subjective case).


They invite all people to come (subjective case).
We picture him shouting in the crowd (objective case).
The teacher told them to be ready tomorrow (objective case).
My brother visited the art gallery last night (possessive case).
A dog wags its tail when it is happy (possessive case).
The car is mine (possessive case).
The books on the table are hers (possessive case).
In the first two sentences you and they are used as subjects. In the second two
sentences him and them are used as objects and my, its, mine and hers in the
last four sentences are used as possession.

3. What are reflexive pronouns?


Reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, oneself,
ourselves, yourselves and themselves. They are used when the doer of the
action goes back to himself so that the subject of the sentence is the same
person as the objects. See the examples below:

I cut myself shaving this morning.


Tom and Ann blamed themselves for the accident.
He spoke to himself.
She paid for herself.

4. What are indefinite pronouns?


A sizable number of words in English, known as indefinite pronouns function as
singular pronouns but make indefinite reference to people or things. Some of the
words are: One, someone, anyone, everyone, somebody, anybody, everybody,
nobody, something, anything, everything, etc. A verb following such an indefinite
pronoun should be singular and later pronoun referring to the indefinite pronoun
should also be singular.

19
In Europe one eats with the fork in the left hand.
Somebody is knocking at the door.
Has anyone here lost his billfold?
Everyone at the Ladies Auxiliary had prepaid her registration.

Bejo : We have to know what time is it.
Paimin : Yes, we don’t want to be late today.
Bejo : We were late yesterday. We were late on Monday too.
Paimin : So we have to go right know. I hope we’ll not come late today.
Bejo : Lets go, hurry up.

Telling Time

Generally there are two formulas for


expressing hours, namely:
1. Hours + Minutes
This method is the easiest way to show the time,
just read out the numbers in English.
Example:
03.30 = It's three thirty (Itu jam tiga tigapuluh)
06.45 = It's six forty-five (itu enam empatpuluh lima)
2. Minutes + past/to +hour
In this method, we have to say the minutes first and then the hours and use the
word 'past' or 'to' to describe more or less minutes in the hour.
Example:
08.10 = It's ten past eight (Itu jam delapan lewat sepuluh menit)

24
08.55 = It's five (minutes) to nine (lima menit lagi menuju jam sembilan/ jam
sembilan kurang lima menit)
To read the clock there are several things we must pay attention to. The
word O'clock is used for exact hours, quarter is used to express time that is less or
more 15 minutes. While half (half) is used to express a time that is more than 30
minutes. Let's see the explanation below.

1. Exact clock = If the clock shows the right hour (long hand exactly to the
number 12) then we have to say like this:
It's seven o'clock (Jam tujuh tepat 07.00)
It's nine o'clock (Jam sembilan tepat/ 09.00)
It's eleven o'clock (Jam sebelas tepat/ 11.00)
2. More hours = If the hour hand shows 1-30 minutes more, then we have to
say:
It's ten minutes past nine (Jam 8 lebih sepuluh menit/ 08.10)
It's a quarter past eleven (Jam sebelas lebih lima belas menit/ 11.15)
It's a half past twelve (Jam dua belas lebih tiga puluh menit/ setengah
satu / 12.30)
3. Hours less = If the long hand shows more than 31 minutes and above, then
we have to say:
It's ten to nine (Jam sembilan kurang sepuluh menit/ 09.50)
It's five to three (Jam tiga kurang lima menit/ 02.55)
It's a quarter to five (Jam lima kurang lima belas menit/ 04.45)

Noun
o Noun structure
There are three main ways in which it is possible to put nouns together,
so one modifies another.
 Double noun structure
e.g. a table leg. a stone bridge.
 The s structure
e.g. a man’s leg. a tiger’s skin

25
 The of structure
e.g. a piece of land. a bunch of flowers

o Nouns in groups

 Parts of things
Parts of living things use s structure while parts of non-living things
use the others.
e.g. a man’s leg.  a table leg – a leg of the table
 Units / collections
Units / collections use the of structure.
e.g. a sheet of paper.
 Measurement and time items
Measurement and time items use double noun structure.
e.g. a ten pound note. a three mile walk. a ten minute delay.
 Containers

e.g. a match box. a tea pot. a coffee cup.
 Expressions

structure but something made of/killed to provide use double noun
structure.
e.g. cow’s milk. women’s magazines. a stone bridge. chicken soup
