Grammar Focus - Conjunction

We commonly join words, phrases or sentences together in a narrative. The words to join clauses are called conjunctions.

e.g. :

  • I hang the poor creature untill it was dead.
  • I soon began to dislike the cat  because it often stared at me with a strange and hatred look.
  • After my wife had been buried in the wall, the police came to my house.

Task : Join up the following sentences using the suitable conjunctions, leaving out words where necessary.

Grammar Focus - Relative Clause

Relative Clause : who, whom, which, while, when, where

Relative clauses are non-essential parts of a sentence. They may add meaning, but if they are removed, the sentence will still function grammatically. There are two broad types of relative clauses in English. It is important to distinguish between them because it affects the choice of pronoun used to introduce the clause. There is a more detailed page about preposition placement in relative clauses.


Task : Join the following sentences using conjunctions or relative pronouns where it is suitable.
e.g. :
We went to the bookshop. The bookshop is in a shopping complex. The bookshop near our house was closed.
We went to the bookshop which is in a shopping complex because the bookshop near our house was closed.

Task : Arrange the adverbs normally in MPT/ PMT (Manner, Place, Time) Position. 
  • Daily (weekly,regularly, often, each Tuesday, etc.etc.) is not an adjective of time, it is an adjective of manner - it tells you how it is done, not when:
    e.g.:
      I go to the gym regularly/daily at two o'clock. (PMT)
      ........ place.............manner...........time
  • The order "Manner, Place, Time" (which I always thought was Place, Manner, Time) usually concerns adjuncts and is the generalized standard version and does not take into account emphasis, which is created when one of the elements is taken out of the default order.
    e.g.:
      I went to London by train in the evening. - Normal version (PMT)
      in the evening, I went to London by train - emphasising what was done in the evening. (TPM)
      I went by train in the evening to London - emphasising the destination. (MTP)
      I went by train to London in the evening - emphasising the method of travel. (MPT)

  1. Joko worked (at his office, yesterday, very hard)
    MPT : Joko worked very hard at his office yesterday.
    PMT : Joko worked at his office very hard yesterday.
  2. Dony arrived (at 7 p.m, in Jakarta, on Saturday, by train)
    MPT : Dony arrived by train in Jakarta at 7 p.m on Saturday.
    PMT : Dony arrived in Jakarta by train at 7 p.m on Saturday.
    On Saturday,  Dony arrived in Jakarta by train at 7 p.m.
  3. Our teacher spoke to us (rudely, during the first session, in front of the class)
    MPT : Our teacher spoke to us rudely in front of the class during the first session.
    PMT : Our teacher spoke to us in front of the class rudely during the first session.
  4. She went (at 6 O'clock, this morning, to school, hurriedly)
    MPT : She went hurriedly to school at 6 o'clock this morning.
    PMT : She went to school hurriedly at 6 o'clock this morning.
  5. The bomb exploded (in this place, loudly, at 5 O'clock, on Sunday, last summer)
    MPT : The bomb exploded loudly in this place at 5 o'clock on Sunday last summer.

Text Modelling 'King Grisly-bread'


orientation:

Once upon a tme there was a great king of a land far away in the East. He had a very beutiful daughter who was so proud, naughty, and conceited. She liked to make fun of any prince who asked her to be his wife.

One day the old king held a great feast and invited all his daughter's suitors. They all sat in a row, according to their ranking and princes and dukes and earls and count and barons and knights. When the princess came in, she said something spiteful to each one as she passed them by. To a king who was there she said, " Look at him. His bread is like an old mop, He shall be called grisly-beard. "

The old king was very angry to this daughter, for she behaved very badly, towards his guest. He vowed that willing or unwilling, she would marry the first man that came to his door.

Two days later, a travelling fiddler came by the castle. He began to play under the window and begged for money, The king asked him to come in and sing. After singing, the fiddler begged for a gift. The king said, " You have sung so well that I will give you my daughter to take as your wife. " The pincess refused but the old king said, " I have sworn to give you to the first man who came to the door, and I will keep my word. "

complication:

Thus, the fiddler left the castle, and took the princess with him as his wife. The lived poorly in a small cottage. The fiddler pushed his wife to do household work but she knew nothing about it. Then, he set her up in a trade in pots and pans. Again, it was all in vain. Finally, the fiddler found a job as a kitchen maid for his wife in a king's palace. She helped the cook to do all the dirties work. She was allowed to carry home some of the meat that was left over, and they lived on that.

One day, as she was leaving the court of home, the king's son in his golden clothes come in. Seeing such a beutiful woman at the door, he took her by the hand and said that she should be his partner as the dance. She was suprised and trembled with fear because she saw that it was King Grisley-beard, who was making fun her. She tired to run away but King Grisley-beard overtook her, brought her back and said, " Fear me not! I am the fiddler who has lived with you in the hut. I brought you there because I truly loved you. I have done all this only to cure you of your silly pride and to show you the folly of your ill treatment if me. Now, it's all over! You have learnt wisdom and it's time to hold marriage feast. "

resolution:

Thus, a grand feast was held, attend by her father and his whole court. Joy was in every face and every heart.

Tongue Twister

Pengucapan dalam Bahasa Inggris memang harus di latih dan di pratekan dengan rutin, seperti kata light, night, dan tonight. Pengucapannya berbeda tapi sepintas sama. Nah untuk memudahkannya di tempat les saya, kami biasa bermain permainan Tongue Twister. 

Tongue Twister merupakan permainan kata dengan pengucapan frase yang secara sengaja dibentuk dari kata-kata tertentu agar sulit di-artikulasikan atau diucapkan. Jika kamu salah mengucapkan kata-kata dalam kalimat ini biasanya menghasilkan kalimat yang lucu atau justru lidah-mu seperti terbelit.

Tongue twister bisa jadi cara seru buat melatih dan meningkatkan pengucapan kata dalam bahasa Inggris. Ini juga dapat membantumu meningkatkan aksen melalui alliteration atau pengulangan pada satu bunyi. Permainan ini nggak cuma buat anak-anak tapi juga banyak digunakan oleh para aktor, politikus dan public speaker dalam melatih kejelasan berbicara bahasa Inggris.

Permainan ini biasanya di sajikan dengan irama alias bernyanyi... Berikut beberapa kalimat yang sudah pernah di mainkan di kelas bahasa Inggris saya : (untuk irama bisa searching di Youtube)

Phrasal Verb (part 03)

**Sometimes a phrasal verb is followed by a preposition**

example:

  • Phrasal Verb : Run Away
    Preposition   :  from
    Why did you run away from me?
    (kenapa kamu menjauhi saya?)
  • Phrasal Verb  : Keep up
    Preposition   :  with
    You're walking too fast. I can't keep up with you.
    (kamu berjalan terlalu cepat. Saya tidak bisa tetap berjalan bersama kamu)
  • Phrasal Verb  : Look up
    Preposition   :  at
    We looked up at the plane as it flew above us.
    (Kami melihat ke atas ketika pesawat terbang diatas kami)
  • Phrasal Verb : Look forward
    Preposition   :  to
    Are you looking forward to your holiday?

**Sometimes a phrasal verb has an object**

Usually there are two possible position for the object. So you can say like this :

Phrasal Verb (part 02)

Sebagian phrasal verb dapat diartikan dari tiap kata penyusunnya (verb dan particle) atau dari kata kerjanya saja dimana particle digunakan untuk memberi penekanan arti. Sehingga tidak terlalu sulit bagi non-native learner untuk memahami frasa tersebut.

Contoh Kalimat Phrasal Verb:
  • You can put off your shoes here.
    (Kamu dapat melepas sepatumu disini.)
  • He will get into trouble if you drink alcohol.
    (Dia akan masuk ke dalam masalah jika dia minum alkohol.)
  • The man has decided to close his business down.
    (Pria itu telah memutuskan untuk menutup usahanya selamanya.)
Kita sering menggunakan verb on/ off/ out dengan kata yang menjelaskan suatu perpindahan tempat/posisi (verbs of movement). contoh:
  • Get on
    The bus was full. We couldn't get on.
  • Drive off (left)
    A woman got into the car and drove off.
  • Come back
    Sally is leaving tomorrow and coming back on Saturday.
  • Turn around (move)
    When I touch him on the shoulder, he turned round.
Tapi beberapa kata tersebut diartikan dalam makna lain (gives a special meaning to the verb). contoh:
  • Break down
    Sorry I'm late. The car broke down. (meaning, the engine stopped working)
  • Look out
    Look out! There's a car coming. (= be careful; watch out)
  • Take off
    It was my first flight. I was nervous as the plane took off. (= went into the air)
  • Get on
    How was the exam? How did you get on. (= how did you do? ; )
  • Get by
    My French isn't good, but it's enough to get by. (= manage)

Phrasal Verb (part 01)

Phrasal Verb adalah frasa yang merupakan kombinasi antara verb standar (contoh: go, make, take) dan satu atau dua particle.

Particle(s) yang digunakan dapat berupa adverb dan/atau preposition. Frasa ini sangat penting untuk dipelajari karena umum digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari native speaker dan informal written language. Poin penting dalam mempelajari frasa ini adalah memahami arti dan cara penggunaannya.

Beberapa verb yang digunakan dalam membuat kalimat Phrasal verb:
  • in
  • out
  • on
  • off
