Penggunaan Kalimat Verbal dan Nominal
Dalam bahasa Inggris, kendala pertama yang banyak ditemui di kalangan siswa khususnya tingkat SMA/Sederajat adalah bahwa rata-rata anak belum bisa membedakan kalimat Verbal dan Nominal sekalipun.
Langsung aja nech....
1. Kalimat Verbal
Kalimat verbal adalah kalimat yang berpredikat kata kerja (Verb)
Contoh : I walk to school everyday
She teaches me some words of English
We went to Bali together last year
atau My father has gone to his office, etc.
2. Kalimat Nominal
Kalimat nominal adalah kalimat yang berpredikat to be (Linking verb)
Contoh : He is my cute sister
They are some clever students
You were here yesterday
It's been my address before, etc.
So, please be careful in making a sentence. Watch the purpose of the sentence, if it has an action, so we must make a verbal sentence (with verb), and if the sentence has no action (usually noun or adjective), we must make a nominal sentence (with to be).
Enough for the first writing, God willing (Insya Allah) I'll continue later. That's all...
