🇮🇩 Kenapa Sulit untuk Orang Indonesia?

Dalam bahasa Indonesia, kelas kata tidak terlalu ketat. Kata yang sama bisa jadi kata benda atau kata kerja tanpa perubahan bentuk. Contoh: "makan" bisa kata benda ("Makan siang") atau kata kerja ("Saya makan").

Dalam bahasa Inggris, setiap kata punya kelas yang jelas dan bentuknya sering berbeda: "eat" (verb) vs "food" (noun).

📦

Kata yang menyatakan nama orang, tempat, benda, atau konsep.

📝 Jenis-Jenis Noun

Uncountable Nouns (Tidak Dapat Dihitung)

Benda yang tidak bisa dihitung, tidak punya bentuk plural

water rice information furniture advice

💡 Contoh Kalimat

Saya punya tiga buku di meja saya.

She gave me some advice.

Dia memberi saya beberapa nasihat.

⚠️ "Advice" uncountable, tidak bisa "advices"

The children are playing in the park.

Anak-anak sedang bermain di taman.

Irregular plural: child → children

❌ Kesalahan Umum & Akibatnya

❌ "I need some informations."

✅ "I need some information."

Information adalah uncountable noun. Tidak punya bentuk plural. Sama seperti: advice, furniture, homework, news.

❌ "I bought two furnitures."

✅ "I bought two pieces of furniture." atau "I bought some furniture."

Furniture uncountable. Kalau mau hitung, pakai "pieces of" atau "items of".

❌ "There are many peoples in the room."

✅ "There are many people in the room."

People sudah bentuk plural dari "person". Tidak perlu tambah -s lagi.

❌ "I have three childs."

✅ "I have three children."

Irregular plural: child → children (bukan childs).

👤

2. Pronouns (Kata Ganti)

Kata yang menggantikan noun untuk menghindari pengulangan.

📝 Jenis-Jenis Pronoun

Subject Object Possessive Adj Possessive Pron Reflexive
I me my mine myself
you you your yours yourself
he him his his himself
she her her hers herself
it it its - itself
we us our ours ourselves
they them their theirs themselves

Subject Pronouns

Digunakan sebagai subjek kalimat (yang melakukan aksi)

I love you. She is beautiful.

Object Pronouns

Digunakan sebagai objek (yang menerima aksi)

He loves me. I saw him yesterday.

Possessive Adjectives

Menunjukkan kepemilikan, diikuti noun

This is my book. Her name is Sarah.

Possessive Pronouns

Menunjukkan kepemilikan, TIDAK diikuti noun

This book is mine. That car is hers.

Reflexive Pronouns

Subjek dan objek adalah orang yang sama

I hurt myself. She taught herself English.

💡 Contoh Kalimat

I gave him my book.

Saya memberi dia buku saya.

I (subject), him (object), my (possessive adj)

This is my car. That one is yours.

Ini mobil saya. Yang itu punyamu.

my + noun, yours (tanpa noun)

She looked at herself in the mirror.

Dia melihat dirinya sendiri di cermin.

Reflexive: subjek = objek

❌ Kesalahan Umum & Akibatnya

❌ "Me and my friend went to the mall."

✅ "My friend and I went to the mall."

Sebagai subjek, pakai I (bukan me). Sopan santun: sebut orang lain dulu, baru diri sendiri.

❌ "This is my book."

✅ "This is mine." atau "This book is mine."

Possessive pronoun (mine, yours, his, hers) TIDAK diikuti noun. Possessive adjective (my, your, his, her) HARUS diikuti noun.

❌ "Its a beautiful day."

✅ "It's a beautiful day."

Its = kepemilikan (its tail). It's = it is (it's raining).

❌ "Between you and I..."

✅ "Between you and me..."

Setelah preposition (between, for, with), pakai object pronoun (me, him, her, us, them).

3. Verbs (Kata Kerja)
