opinions about english


English is an international language . now this english very important to everyone , if we can have english wheresoever we go not be difficulties in communication . Therefore we should be able to speak english and perhaps for some people english is a language that is hard because it is seldom used in communication , the english language but if we want to study and act it out every day we will certainly will understand .
So that we have english faster we need to learn kelembaga for learning english dictionary or could read that we can do it faster understand . Because the world will work if we can speak in english we can get a job better than the people who don 't have english , even diinstansi all employees government must be able to english . Because later people of out there will enter with any free kenegara no exception of indonesia , so we will free to go out of the land because of that if we don 't get english we 're not going to be able to communicate with another person use the english language , once again that english is very important , and i started now let 's learn english

an effective way to learn english


A way to learn english is now actually been effective what just his students are already could assume english lesson the hard lesson that in any way to learn english will not be effective while his students are still reluctant to or still feel that it is very difficult to learn english , so important that ' s how students don ' t think of lessons or the english language courses it is a hard so that any effective ways to get learning will inevitably. If his students are not considered english it 's hard to maybe nothing will be effective ways to get learning to quickly and easily understandable , well .
Now most effective i think with much reading or memorization vocabulary or with much reading a dictionary or by rote simple sentences after that may be much dialogue with the use of english with a sentence which is simple , and habitually we use for according to the english language because i can get used to , because it 's starting must now accustomed to speak english so it can understand english easily . After that, by reading the books of English vocabulary in order to perceive it and more and more are memorized and it will further facilitate the process of learning English, after that maybe the private shows which provides English learning in order to study in earnest and was able to quickly master the English language, because it is now competition in the world out there is very strict and requires that each individual can or master the English language so we can compete with those from outside the country. Bottom line if there is a willingness to learn in any way would have been effective.
Another thing that is not less important “ love is english and enjoy the language of that “ . If you learn english , enjoying you will spend more time for him you will do it regularly . A motivation that high will give additional benefits others . You will become more young considering words and the grammatical structure of a new one.

CONDITIONAL SENTENCE

kalimat pengandaian atau dalam bahasa Inggris disebut conditional sentences.

conditional sentences pada umumnya memiliki ciri-ciri sebagai berikut:

a. digunakannya kata if dalam anak kalimat (subordinate clause). Karena clause ini diawali oleh if maka disebut if clause.

b. digunakannya modal auxiliary, seperti will, can, may, must, would, could, might, etc. pada pokok kalimat (main clause).

Conditional sentences dikelompokkan menjadi 2 tipe, yaitu: real conditional dan unreal/contrary to fact.

A. Real conditionals (factual / habitual / hypothetical / future possible)

Kalimat pengandaian tipe ini digunakan untuk mengekpresikan situasi atau aktivitas yang biasanya terjadi atau akan terjadi jika situasi pada if clause terpenuhi. Dengan kata lain, apa yang diandaikan itu memiliki peluang untuk terjadi atau menjadi kenyataan.

Sebagai contoh, ketika seorang teman mengajak saya, apakah malam ini saya mau nonton atau tidak, saya mungkin katakan:

  • If I have the time, I will go. (Jika saya punya waktu, saya akan pergi).

Kalimat ini secara implisit juga berarti,

  • If I don’t have the time, I will not go. (Jika saya tidak punya waktu, saya tidak akan pergi).

Penggunaan real conditionals

Kalimat pengandaian tipe ini dapat digunakan untuk menyatakan:

a. Future time

If + S + present tense, S +

will

+ Verb1

can

may

must

Note: if clause bisa diletakkan di depan kalimat (seperti formula di atas), bisa juga diletakkan di belakang setelah main clause. Ini tidak merubah arti kalimat. Dengan catatan, jika if clause diletakkan di belakang, tanda koma tidak diperlukan.

Contoh:

  1. If I have the money, I will give it to you. (Jika saya punya uangnya, saya akan memberikannya kepada kamu).
  2. If you keep driving on this speed, we may arrive at office before 9 a.m. (Jika kamu terus nyetir mobil pada kecepatan ini, kita mungkin tiba di rumah sebelum jam 9 pagi).
  3. I can pass this subject if I study hard. (Saya dapat lulus mata kuliah ini, jika saya belajar giat).
  4. You must bring an umbrella if you don’t want to get wet. (Kamu harus membawa payung, jika kamu tidak ingin basah (kehujanan).

b. Habitual (kebiasaan/habit)

If + S + verb1, S + verb1

Note: Dalam formula ini, modal auxiliary tidak digunakan.

Contoh:

  1. If Budi has enough time, he usually walks to campus. (Jika Budi punya cukup waktu, dia biasanya jalan kaki ke kampus).
  2. I usually watch basket ball on TV every Saturday night if I do not fall asleep. (Saya biasanya nonton basket di TV tiap Sabtu malam jika saya tidak tertidur).
  3. If he has money, he always treats us. (Jika dia punya uang, dia selalu mentraktir kita).

c. Command (perintah)

If + S + verb1, S + verb1

Contoh:

  1. If you finish with your work, please help me. (Jika kamu selesai dengan pekerjaanmu, tolong bantu saya).
  2. Please give me a cigarette if you don’t mind. (Tolong beri saya sepuntung rokok, jika kamu tidak keberatan).
  3. If you have time, please meet me in my house. (Jika kamu punya waktu, tolong temui saya di rumah saya).

B. Unreal conditionals jika faktanya dalam simple present tense

a. Jika faktanya dalam simple present tense atau future tense, maka conditionalnya umumnya mengikuti pola berikut:

If + S + verb2,

S +

would
could
might

+ Verb1

Contoh:

  1. If the teacher didn’t speak quickly, I could understand better what he is teaching about. (Jika guru itu tidak berbicara dengan cepat, saya dapat memahami dengan lebih baik apa yang dia sedang ajarkan). Fakta dari kalimat ini adalah: the teacher speaks quickly, so that, I can’t understand well what he is teaching about.
  2. He could hug me, if he were here. (Dia boleh memeluk saya, jika dia di sini). Faktanya: he can’t hug me, because, he is not here.
  3. If I had a pair of wings, I would fly high. (Jika saya punya sepasang sayap, saya akan terbang tinggi). Faktanya: I don’t have a pair of wings, I can’t fly.

Perhatikan:

  1. Selalu gunakan be “were” dalam formal English atau dalam test (lihat contoh 2); Walaupun be “was” juga digunakan dalam speaking, tetapi berdasarkan standard written English, penggunaan be was dalam unreal conditionals adalah salah.
  2. Jika main clause dan if clause dalam kalimat pengandaian merupakan kalimat positif (affirmative), maka faktanya dalam kalimat negatif. Sebaliknya, jika main clause dan if clause dalam kalimat pengandaian merupakan kalimat negatif, maka faktanya dalam kalimat positif.

B. Unreal conditionals jika faktanya dalam simple past tense

Jika faktanya dalam simple past tense atau past future tense, maka conditionalnya mengikuti formula berikut:

If + S + had + verb3,

S +

would
could
might

+ have + verb3

Contoh:

  1. If Arif had not gone to a movie last night, he would not have met viola (jika Arif tidak pergi nonton film (di bioskop) tadi malam, dia tidak akan berjumpa dengan viola). Fakta dari kalimat ini adalah: Arif went to a movie last night, then, he met viola.
  2. If the real madrid football team had played well, it could have beaten the Barcelona team (jika team sepak bola Real Madrid bermain bagus, team itu dapat mengalahkan team Barcelona). Faktanya: Real Madrid foot ball team didn’t play well, it couldn’t beat the Barcelona team.
  3. You could have answered the questions well if you had studied well last night (kamu dapat menjawab soal-soal dengan baik, jika kamu belajar dengan baik tadi malam). Faktanya adalah: you couldn’t answer the questions well, because, you didn’t study well last night.

Perhatikan: Unreal condition yang kedua ini juga dapat diekspresikan dengan menempatkan auxiliary had di awal kalimat. Arti kalimat tidak berubah. Dalam hal ini, kata if tidak digunakan. Jika formula berikut yang digunakan, main clause selalu ditempatkan di belakang (setelah sub-clause).

Had + S + verb3,

S +

would
could
might

+ have + verb3

Contoh:

  1. Had Arif not gone to a movie last night, he would not have met Viola.
  2. Had the Real Madrid football team played well, it could have beaten the Barcelona team.
  3. Had you studied well last night, you could have answered the questions well.
