*   Subject, Verb, Complement & Modifier
  • Subject
Subject adalah tentang apa atau siapa yang dibicarakan dalam suatu kalimat atau klausa. Adapun subjek dapat berupa orang, hewan, benda, maupun konsep abstrak.
Setiap complete subject pada dasarnya dibangun oleh satu atau lebih noun atau pronoun dengan/tanpa tambahan modifier(s) yang dapat berupa article (the, an, an), adjective, dan prepositional phrase. Adapun gerund dan infinitive dapat pula menempati posisi subjek.

Contoh:
    His new car tax has already been paid by his assistant.
    Lia and I were eating our lunch on the kitchen table.
    The very big boarding school in this country was built in 1980.

  • Simple Subject and Simple Predicate
Simple subject ini berupa noun atau pronoun tunggal, dengan mengesampingkan modifier(s)-nya. Sedangkan simple predicate berupa verb atau compound verb tunggal.

  •  Verb
Verb (kata kerja) adalah suatu kata yang berfungsi untuk menunjukkan tindakan dari subject, menunjukkan peristiwa atau keadaan. Verb merupakan satu dari delapan part of speech.
Kata kerja bahasa Inggris tidak selalu berbentuk simple (satu kata), melainkan mungkin berupa frasa hasil kombinasi dengan particle menjadi phrasal verb (get in, make up, read over).

   Macam-Macam dan Contoh Verb

Beberapa macam dan contoh verb antara lain sebagai berikut:
-  Transitive dan Intransitive: Transitive diikuti direct object (contoh kalimat: The boy kicked the ball), sedangkan intransitive tidak (contoh kalimat: Cheryl often sneezes while cleaning).
- Regular dan Irregular: Pada bentuk regular, past tense dan participle didapat dengan menambahkan suffixed pada base form sedangkan pada irregular, caranya lebih bervariasi.
-  Action dan Stative: Action (eat, play) menyatakan bahwa sesuatu terjadi, sedangkan stative (love, need) menyatakan kondisi yang cenderung tetap.
-  Finite dan Non-Finite: Finite dipengaruhi tense dan subject-verb agreement, sedangkan non-finite tidak.
-  Linking Verb: menghubungkan subject of a sentence dengan deskripsinya (contoh kalimat: She is young and beautiful).
  Causative: Kata kerja untuk menunjukkan bahwa subjek tidak bertanggungjawab langsung terhadap aksi yang terjadi (contoh kalimat: I had my house renovated last week).



  • COMPLEMENT
- Biasanya berupa noun (kata benda) atau noun phrase (frasa kata benda)
- biasanya terdapat setelah verb pada kalimat aktif
-complement menjawab pertanyaan what (apa) atau siapa (whom)
Contoh:
-           Sarijon bought a cake yesterday
What did Sarijon buy yesterday?  –> a cake.
-           He saw Tony at the movie
Whom did he see at the movie? –> Tony
-          I explain pharmacology to my students
What do I explain to my students? –> pharmacology
Catatan: Setiap kalimat tidak harus mempunyai complement.


  • MODIFIER
-   Modifier menjelaskan time (waktu), place (tempat), atau manner (cara) dari sebuah aksi atau perbuatan

- Bentuk yang paling umum dari modifier adalah prepositional phrase (kelompok kata yang dimulai dengan sebuah preposition dan diakhiri dengan sebuah noun
Preposition = on, out, under, behind, etc…

- Modifier menjawab pertanyaan when (kapan), where (dimana), atau how (bagaimana)

Contoh:
-          John bought a book at a book fair
    • Where did John buy a book? –> at a book fair
-          She is driving very fast
    • How is she driving? –> very fast
-          I posted my application yesterday
    • When do I post my application? –> yesterday
Jadi , seperti ini unsur-unsur Subject, Verb, Complement dan Modifier dalam contoh kalimat :
We   studied   grammar   last week.
S            V                  C                M



*   Verb Phrases
Verb phrases atau frase verba adalah frase yang tersusun dari verba utama ditambah dengan auxiliaries, adverbs, adverb phrases (or clauses), prepositional phrases, atau object. Dalam kalimat, frase verba berfungsi sebagai predikat.


Contoh:
- He was smoking.- After she had learned to drive, Alice felt more independent.
- We will meet at the library at 3:30 p.m.
- Henry made my coach very proud.

Dalam frase verba, verb selalu menjadi head, yang dapat disertai pre-modifiers dan/atau post-modifier.

Jika terdapat pre-modifiers, bisa berupa kata negative (not/never) atau adverb phrase.
- not say what he is doing.
- never needs money.
- He deliberately broke the window.

Kebanyakan head verba harus diikuti oleh post-modifiers.
- My son [made a cake].
- We [keep pigeons].
- I [recommend the fish].

Verba yang memerlukan post-modifiers biasa disebut transitive verbs. Post-modifiers pada contoh diatas disebut juga objek langsung (direct object) atau komplemen (complement of the head).

Sebaliknya, beberapa verba (intransitive verbs) digunakan tanpa objek langsung:
- Susan smiled.
- The professor yawned.

Tetapi, banyak juga verba dalam bahasa Inggris berlaku sebagai transitive dan intransitive, tergantung cara pemakaiannya dalam kalimat. Berikut adalah contoh penggunaan kedua bentuk verba tersebut:
- Mark smokes. (Intransitive)
- Mark smokes cigars. (Transitive)

Objek atau komplemen yang melengkapi frase verba tidak hanya objek langsung (direct object) tetapi juga dapat berupa objek tak langsung (indirect object).
- We [gave James a present].

yang harus diperhatikan j contoh berikut yang menggunakan verba to be sebagai head:
- David [is a musician]
- Amy [is clever]
- Our car [is in the car park]

Kata ganti biasanya terletak didepan kata benda atau kata ganti. Kata atau frase yang dimodifikasi oleh Preposisi di sebut Object of Preposition.
Contoh Preposition
- The book is on the table.
- The book is beside the table
- The book is beneath the table
Dari 3 contoh preposition / kata depan dalam bahasa inggris diatas bisa dilihat bahwa ketiga kalimat tersebut sama-sama menghubungkan kata “book” atau buku dengan kata dalam kalimat tersebut.

- Yang termasuk kata benda adalah
1. Noun (kata benda) : dog,table

Sebuah kelompok kata (frase) yang digabungkan sehingga menimbulkan arti yang baru & berbeda dari kata-kata pembentuknya.
Contoh:
“Under the weather” – kurang enak badan.
I can’t go to work today, I’m a bit under the weather.
Contoh lain:
“add fuel to the fire” – memperburuk keadaan yang sulit.
That’s enough! You’re only adding fuel to the fire!

COMMON COMBINATION  &  PREPOSITION

  1. NOUN  +  PREPOSITION
Banyak noun (kata benda), terutama abstract noun, memiliki preposition (kata depan) yang mengikutinya. Preposition tersebut selanjutnya diikuti oleh objek (object of preposition) berupa noun (kata benda) atau frasa yang berfungsi sebagai noun (contoh: gerund phrase) membentuk prepositional phrase.
Secara umum preposition merupakan kata penghubung yang berfungsi untuk menghubungkan objeknya dengan bagian lain di dalam kalimat. Dengan demikian, konstruksi noun + prepositional phrase (preposition + object of preposition) untuk menunjukkan bahwa noun berhubungan dengan apa (objek of preposition). Contoh :
-          Where can I get information about anorexia nervosa?
(Dimana saya dapat memperoleh informasi tentang anorexia nervosa?)
-          I won’t hold a grudge against them.
(Saya tidak akan menyimpan dendam kepada mereka.)
-          He doesn’t know how to control his anger at work.
(Dia tidak tahu bagaimana cara mengontrol kemarahannya di tempat kerja.)
-          We all know that the bond between a mother and her child is priceless.
(Kita semua tahu bahwa ikatan antara seorang ibu dan anaknya tak ternilai.)

  1. ADJ  +  PREPOSITION
 Kombinasi adjective dan preposition di dalam kalimat digunakan untuk membuat pernyataan tentang sikap atau perasaan seseorang terhadap sesuatu.
Tidak semua adjective memiliki “pasangan” preposition dan ada sebagian adjective yang dapat menggunakan beberapa preposition. Sayangnya tidak ada pola khusus untuk membentuk kombinasi tersebut. Kita hanya perlu menemukan dan mengingatnya.Contoh :
1. afraid of (takut akan/pada)
– My daughter is afraid of dogs.
2. angry with (marah kepada/dengan)
– My boss was angry with his driver.
3. bored with (bosan dengan)
– I’m bored with this TV program.
4. good at (jago/hebat pada)
–He is not very good at mathematics.
5. interested in (tertarik pada)
– Are you interested in the promotion?
6. married to (menikah dengan)
– Her sister is married to an Australian.
7. proud of (bangga akan/kepada)
– I’m always proud of my children.

8. famous for (terkenal akan)
– This city is famous for its hospitality.
9. different from (berbeda dari/dengan)
– My problem is different from yours.
10. full of (penuh dengan)
– Your composition was full of mistakes

  1. VERB  +  PREPOSITION
Prepositional verb adalah suatu verb (kata kerja) hasil kombinasi antara verb dan preposition (kata depan). Kata kerja ini bermakna idiom, sehingga mungkin sulit ditebak dari kata-kata penyusunnya. Kata kerja ini selalu transitive (diikuti direct object) dimana objek tersebut ditempatkan setelah preposition.
1. agree with (setuju dengan)
– Do you agree with the director?
2. apologize for (meminta maaf atas)
– Have you apologized for your mistake.
3. believe in (percaya adanya)
– Do they believe in God?
4. care about (peduli pada)
– She doesn’t care about other people.
5. depend on (tergantung pada)
– The result will depend on your score.
6. consist of (terdiri dari)

Fire Department
Paranaque City Hall
Sucat, Paranaque City

Dear Sir:

I, Mr. Juancho Z. Menoy, a Paranaque resident since birth and a representative of my parents, am filing a complaint against our neighbor, Mr. Arsenio Dizon, regarding his apartment which is a fire hazard.

The three-storey apartment does not comply with the safety requirements for commercial buildings. First, it has no fire exit and no fire wall. Second, there are no fire extinguishers. Third, it has no electricity; some of the occupants who may be using candles can pose a hazard, especially that there are portions of the apartment that are made of light materials. Fourth, there are some occupants who store their kalakal (used paper, plastic bottles, plastic cups, plastic containers, and easily combustible materials) here and nearby.

Just recently, a fire which lasted for days hit the Baclaran commercial area. My family and I were once fire victims. I do not want to encounter the same traumatic experience. Concern for my safety and that of my family and my neighborhood prompted me to air this complaint.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure; thus, it is best to act upon this matter before another fire in our area breaks out.

Your prompt attention and favorable action on this matter shall be highly appreciated.

Very truly yours,



JUANCHO Z. MENOY

Dear Ms. Furagganan:

In response to your memorandum dated November 24, 2008 regarding the tea with the CCP President, I would like to inform that I was unable to attend such celebration because I had to attend my classes in the University of the East where I teach part-time.

During the second week of classes, I had my bereavement leave here and in UE in order to attend to the wake of my father. Unfortunately, there were no teachers assigned to substitute for me in all my classes in both schools so I decided to attend my classes there, instead of the tea party, because my students were already behind as far as their lessons are concerned.

I hope that you understand my situation.

Very truly yours,

52 Aurora Boulevard, Quezon City

Dear Ms. Licas:

This serves to inform you that Ms. PRINCESS JANNEL D. YASAY, a freshman Education student enrolled last semester in my English 1 with CAI class, failed to take the final oral examination and, as a consequence, was given a grade of Incomplete. Her failure to take such examination was due to the fact that she had to attend the burial of her grandparent on the day of the examination.

Ms. Yasay is a community scholar and her Incomplete grade in English 1 would cause her to lose her scholarship. To help her continue her studies, I let her take the oral examination and so she was given a grade of 2.50.

I hope that you reconsider her application for scholarship. Her failure was a result not of her incompetency, but of circumstances beyond her control.

Very truly yours,

Mengungkapkan Tujuan

Ketika Anda perlu sebuah agenda, termasuk judul pertemuan, tanggal, peserta dan tujuan keseluruhan di bagian atas dokumen Anda. Ikuti dengan topik utama diskusi - termasuk perkenalan dan langkah-langkah selanjutnya yang diperlukan.

Tentukan Peserta
Pilih peserta untuk pertemuan yang berada di lingkaran langsung ketika datang ke informasi yang akan dikomunikasikan atau keputusan yang harus dibuat. Ada aspek teknis untuk yang Anda undang, tetapi ada juga "rasa" Anda ingin membuat. Idealnya, peserta rapat bersemangat untuk belajar dan berbagi - hormat memberikan ide sebanyak yang mereka ambil.

·         Making a General Business
Etika tidak hanya ditampilkan dalam tingkah-laku maupun sikap, melainkan tata cara administratif maupun surat menyurat utamanya untuk surat-surat resmi.  Sebuah perusahaan besar maupun bonafid, akan senantiasa melakukan hubungan dan komunikasi yang baik terhadap karyawan atau bahkan terhadap calon karyawannya. Hal ini dilakukan dalam menjaga pencitraan nama baik perusahaan itu sendiri. Kebiasaan baik ini bisa ditunjukan dalam proses lamaran kerja, dimana tetap dilakukannya komunikasi kepada para pelamar yang tidak lulus seleksi atau tidak memenuhi kualifikasi perusahaan.
Melalui kebiasaan inilah, maka kredibilitas akan perusahaan yang memiliki sistem administrasi serta manajemen yang sehat akan senantiasa terpelihara. Menyiapkan surat penolakan lamaran kerja yang baik, setidaknya perusahaan berempati sebagai bentuk balasan serta apresiasi atas usaha yang ditunjukan para pelamar kerja selama ini. Lamaran kerja merupakan proses yang tidak dapat dilihat dari satu sisi, melainkan suatu proses yang boleh dikatakan hubungan yang saling menguntungkan. Hanya saja dengan ketersediaan posisi yang terbatas tidak sebanding dengan besarnya peminat, maka perusahaan pun mengeluarkan kebijakan yaitu melakukan seleksi internal agar semua memiliki kesempatan yang sama, baik mulai tahap penyeleksian dokumen hingga seleksi akhir wawancara kerja, berikut akan dijelaskan secara lebih mendalam menggunakan bahasa inggris :

A letter of Inquiry
       What is inquiry latter? Inquiry latter is the letters that are written for collecting information abaout job seekers, price, products, and service berfore awarding jobs, granting credit, making contracts and giving promotions are known as letters of inquiry. These letters are written to a third party seeking information about either a  job or a company that whishes to make a business relationship.

*   Affirmative & Negative Agrement, Negation, Commands & Vocabulary and Reading

Affirmative & Negative Agreement : So,Too, And, Also
AFFIRMATIVE AGREEMENT (so. too. and also)
Sebenarnya kata sotoo, dan also mempunyai arti yang sama yaitu juga, pula, pun. Tapi dalam penggunaannya terdapat perbedaan, so digunakan sebelum tobe(s) dan auxilliaries (kata bantu).

Example:
1.      My wife will talk to him and so will I
2.      My wife has talked about it, and so have I
3.      My wife talked about it, and so did I
4.      My wife is talking about it, and so am I

Sedangkan too dan also digunakan setelah tobe(s) dan auxilliaries.

Example:
1.      My wife will talk to him and I will too
2.      My wife has talked about it, and I have too
3.      My wife talked about it, and I did also
4.      My wife is talking about it, and I am also

NEGATIVE AGREEMENT (neither and either)
Hampir sama dengan penjelasan affirmative agreement di atas, neither dan either memiliki arti yang sama yaitu: tidak keduanya, atau kedua-duanya tidak. Untuk neither digunakan sebelum auxilliary verb, for example:

1.      My roommate won't go, and neither will I
2.     My roommate hasn't gone, and neither have I
3.      My roommate doesn't go, and neither do I
4.     My roommate isn't going, and neither am I

Dan untuk either digunakan setelah auxilliary verb dan kata "not", for example:
1.      My roommate won't go, and I won't(will not) either
2.      My roommate hasn't gone, and I haven't either
3.      My roommate doesn't go, and I don't either
4.      My roommate isn't going, and I am not either

Hal lain yang harus diperhatikan yaitu untuk pemakaian tobe dan auxilliaries setelah kata "..and.." harus sesuai dengan tobe dan auxilliaries yang digunakan di awal kalimat, seperti :

1.      My wife is talking about it, and so am I
2.      My wife has talked about it, and I have too
3.      My roommate won't go, and neither will I
4.      My roommate doesn't go, and I don't either

2.              Negation : Neither, Either, Hardly,
Barely, Rarely, Seldom, etc

NEGATION
Negation adalah bentuk pernyataan negatif. Walaupun hal ini tidak begitu asing, namun di bawah ini akan kami jelaskan bentuk-bentuk negation, atau bentuk-bentuk bagaimana membentuk suatu pernyataan negatif.

1.      Dengan Kata Kerja (VERB)
a.       With a simple form:
Subject + (The negative of the auxiliary DO (or MODALS)) + simple form.
Examples:
    - I don't  know
    - We didn't see (Not I didn't saw)
    - He couldn't stay

b.      With a past participle:
Subject + (The negative of the  auxiliaries BE or HAVE) + past participle.
Examples:
    - They haven't  seen
    - She wasn't driving
    - You hadn't forgotten

2.      Dengan Kata Benda (NOUN)
Jangan gunakan 2 kali Negation dalam 1 kalimat yang sama.
Contoh:
I do not see no evidence. (SALAH)

a.       Positive sentences:
No+ noun
Examples:
    - I see no evidence
    - No one is concerned

b.      Negative sentences: 
Examples:
    - I do not see any evidence
    - They are not concerned

Either and neither function in simple statement much like “so” and “”too” in affirmative sentences. However, either and neither are used to indicate negative agreement. The same rules for auxilaries, be and do, does or did apply.

Contoh Kalimat lainnya:
1.                   The manager isn’t too happy with the project, and neither is his assistant.
2.                   We can’t study in the library, and he can’t either.
3.                   You didn’t pay the taxes, and they didn’t either.
4.                   My Brother won’t accept my father’s decision, and my sister won’t either.
5.                   He doesn’t know the answer, and neither does she.


Negative statement + and + [ S + negative auxiliary or be + either]
Negative statement + and + [ neither + positive auxiliary or be + S ]

Examples:
I didn’t see Bella this morning. Edward didn’t see Bella this morning
I didn’t see Bella this morning and Edward didn’t either.
I didn’t see Bella this morning and neither did Edward.
Additional examples:
1. The children shouldn’t take that medicine, and neither should she.
2. We don’t plan to attend the concert, and neither do they.
3. I don’t like tennis, and he doesn’t either.

2. A letter of apology
Here are examples of an apology where  you did not err:
I just learned from Tom that the rescheduling of our annual meeting affected your vacation plans.  We have four new products launching next year, and these will be presented at the meeting. I’m sure the scheduling was a disappointment for you, but I know the information will be very useful for you, and we need your expertise in the field next year.
I am sorry the reconstruction requires your department to share printing and copying resources for the next two months. It will cause delays for you during construction, so please accommodate this in your planning. Once the construction is complete, we’ll have 40% capacity increase, so the inconvenience is well worth it.
Here is an example of an apology where there is a need to admit liability:
Dear Suki:
I am sorry I missed your meeting this morning. I know I was scheduled to provide the staffing costs of your proposal, and I’m sorry I let you down.
As I mentioned when I called, my babysitter was ill and could not work, and my husband is out of town. I had to wait until my sister could arrive to babysit before I could leave for work.
I have emailed my staffing cost analysis to everyone in the meeting, and explained my absence and how this data supports your proposal. If there is anything else I can do to make up for my absence at your proposal, please let me know.
Please accept my apology.
Tamara
We all want to avoid unpleasant situations, but sending a note indicates you take the liability seriously, and are truly sorry. It conveys a sincerity that a simple phone call does not.
When you overstep, and say things you regret:
Dear Ashok:
I am sorry I overreacted yesterday to the news of my project team’s restructuring. I apologize for making inappropriate assumptions about your decision.
I realize since we talked that I depend on Caroline’s participation, and don’t want to lose her enthusiasm and expertise on my team. You are correct that she is ready for larger company projects.
I regret my comments, and you have my promise to fully support the team restructure. Please accept my apology.
Sincerely,
Kara
I’ve heard executives say they never want to document any errors in writing, but I disagree. Instead, this documents Kara’s realization and apology, in addition to enhancing her business relationship with Ashok.
Some Guidelines:
·         Overtly state you are sorry.  “I apologize.” “I’m sorry.” “I regret.”
·         Ask the reader to accept your apology.
·         Summarize what happened, to reflect your understanding.
·         Offer remedies, if this is needed.
·         Address only the apology in your note. Keep it to this one subject.
·         Don’t infer your reader was also to blame. Not: “I only wish you had been more clear my attendance was needed.” Address only your own actions.
·         Don’t blame anyone else. Not: “My team leader was unclear with his instructions, so I thought I was to present next week, not this week.”
·         Don’t globalize the issue. Apologize for this situation, at this time. Not: “I’m sorry I was late, but you rarely start meetings on time. I thought I would arrive before the meeting started.”
·         Most importantly, don’t use the common “sorry, but” formula. It’s insincere and makes you look angry. Not: “I’m sorry I overreacted, but you were not clear about your instructions.”

Dear Manager
RE: COMPLAINT ABOUT FAULTY TELEVISION CABINET PURCHASED AT CABINET WORLD ON 15 DECEMBER 2012
I am unhappy with the quality of a television cabinet I bought at 5 Street on 15 December and I am writing to seek a replacement.
The cabinet doors do not open and shut properly and the stain on the cabinet is uneven, with one half darker than the other. The cabinet was delivered on 30 December and I noticed this problem as soon as I unpacked it from the box.
The cabinet  is not of acceptable quality and does not match the sample cabinet I was shown in store. I would like you to replace it with one of the same quality and finish as the sample and arrange for return of the faulty cabinet at no cost.
I have attached a photocopy of my receipt as proof of purchase.
I would like to have this problem fixed quickly please. If I do not hear from you within 10 days, I will lodge a formal complaint with Consumer Affairs in my state.
You can contact me on 1234 5678 during working hours or after hours on 123 456 789 to discuss this matter further.
Yours sincerely,
Jane Brown
