ASSIGNMENT 1

1. Name 8 parts of speech and give examples of each 3!

Answere

1. 8 parts of speech and examples of each 3 is

a. Noun (Benda)
Noun is a part of speech component that functions to call objects. Both physical
such as humans, plants, animals, places, inanimate objects, as well as abstract objects
such as names, titles and the like
The function of the noun :
1. Subject of verb
Subject of verb is usually located at the beginning of the sentence, right in
front of the verb, when it becomes the subject of verb, noun can be accompanied
by the article (a, an, the) or not
An example of a subject of verb is
 Tommy is the best student in our school
 An egg per day could save you from diabetes
 The bottle is fulfilled with pure water

2. Direct / indirect object


Apart from being a subject, nouns can also be objects in a sentence, both
direct objects of the subject (Direct object) and indirect objects (Indirect
Object). As an object, nouns can be accompanied by additional words such as
pronouns, determines, adjectives and the like
Example:
 As a direct object
1) I will take Harry to your house soon
2) Don't put the glass on everywhere
3) he'd love to get some flowers from you
 As an indirect object
1) Please buy Kyle a cough syrup
2) Don't call me a liar
3) he gives her brother a cotton candy

3. Subject / Object Complement


The next noun's role is as a subject or object complement in a sentence.
Subject Complement is the name for the noun that comes after a linking verb.
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

Whereas object complement is used for nouns that appear after the direct
object.
 Example:
 As subject complement
1) Gary becomes a firefighter
2) She has been a nurse for 20 years, and now she's retired
3) I was a student from that high school 3 years ago
 As a complement object
1) He made his wife a beautiful music box
2) She asked us to call her Danielle
3) My parents gave me a car on my birthday, but they forbid me to have a
girlfriend

4. Object of Preposition
A preposition is a word used to describe the place and time in a sentence.
Now, usually after prepositions, you will find nouns as objects.
 Example:
1) I'm shopping on a minimarket
2) She said she will come at 5 pm
3) He returned to take his smartphone inside the car
4) The biology exam is being held in the classroom
5) Mom and Dad will visit us in the morning

5. Modifier of Noun
The last function of the noun is as a modifier of other nouns. In English, a
modifier means a word that adds meaning to another word. When being a
modifier, a noun can turn another noun into a noun phrase or compound noun.

6. Various kinds of Noun


In English, there are many kinds of nouns, from proper noun to concrete to
collective noun. You can learn a complete discussion of the various nouns
below.

7. Common / Proper Noun


Common noun is a noun which is the "real name" of the object, for
example river, person, human, cat, dog, rose, and the like.
Meanwhile, a proper noun is the name that people give to a common noun.
For example Bengawan Solo, which is literally river (river). The term "river"
is a common noun, while "Bengawan Solo" is included in the proper noun.
 Example:
1. Common Noun = Human
2. Proper Noun = Nanda, Aldo, Princess
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

8. Countable / Uncountable Noun


Countable noun is a number that can be found easily, so it can be
expressed in concrete units (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Meanwhile, uncountable nouns
are nouns that are difficult to know the exact number because they are too
many (uncountable). Countable nouns include items that we can clearly know
the number of, for example books, bags, roses, cars, and many more.
Meanwhile, uncountable nouns are things that are difficult to determine the
number of, for example salt, sugar, water, and the like.
 Example:
Countable Noun = Orange
Uncountable Noun = Sugar

9. Abstract / Concrete Noun


Next, what we will discuss is the types of nouns based on their physical
form. Concrete noun is a noun that can be felt by the senses. Meanwhile,
abstract noun cannot be felt in real terms.
Examples of concrete nouns include general nouns such as human, book,
pen, plant, paint, and the like. Meanwhile, those that include abstract nouns
include feelings, war, thoughts, opinions, lessons, and the like.
 Example:
Abstract Noun = Feeling, Thought
Concrete Noun = Heart, Head

10. Singular / Plural / Collective Noun


Next is a discussion of the singular and plural nouns. Singular refers to
nouns whose number is singular, while plural refers to those that are more
than one.
In English, the difference between a singular and a plural noun can be seen
from several aspects. There is a plural noun which is sufficient to add the
suffix "-s / -es" to distinguish it from a singular. There is also a plural noun
that changes shape from its singular form.
 Example:
a. Plural nouns with the ending "-s"
Singular Noun = House
Plural Noun = Houses

b. Plural nouns with the ending "-es"


Singular Noun = Tomato
Plural Noun = Tomatoes
c. Plural nouns with a drastic change from the singular
Singular Noun = Child
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

Plural Noun = Children

11. Collective Noun


Besides plural and singular nouns, there is also a collective noun.
Generally collective nouns do not have the plural signs mentioned above, but
they are explicitly clear that they have a number of "plural".
This characteristic makes UK and US natives different. So that there are
those who consider collective noun as singular, and there are those who
consider collective noun as plural.
Examples of collective nouns include family, group, team, and the like.

12. Compound Noun and Noun Phrase


In the discussion of the noun function, it has been stated that one of the
noun functions is a modifier. When being a modifier, a noun can add or even
change the meaning of a word. The role of noun as a modifier is mostly found
in compound nouns and noun phrases.
A compound noun is a new meaningful phrase made up of two different
nouns (or it could be adjective + noun).
For example, for example, phrases like bus stop, football shoes, bedroom,
firefly, and many more.
Meanwhile, a noun phrase is a combination phrase from various types of
words, but its nature is still a noun.
Examples of noun phrases include a beautiful pink dress, a nice blue suit,
those luxurious houses, and the like.

b. Pronoun (Kata Ganti Benda)


1. Subject Pronoun
A subject pronoun is a pronoun that has a position as a subject in a sentence.
Remember the sentence structure of SPOK? A subject pronoun is a pronoun that has a
duty as an actor in a sentence. In English, there are at least seven subject pronouns
that can be used to compose perfect sentences.They are I, you, we, they, he, she, it /
this / that / those / these.
The following are examples of sentences :
SUBJECTS EXAMPLES

I I don’t know what to say now

You You stand there without fear

We We count our life on you

They They defy you but you keep advancing

He He doesn’t understand anything about you, right?


Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

She She asks too much sausage for her bread

It/This/That This is what happens if you don’t obey the rules

Those/These Those chickens make me hungry

Even though the subject pronoun is the most basic material in English, many
people make mistakes in its use. For example in the sentence "You and me are meant
to be together."
This is a wrong phrase because "me" is an object pronoun. While in the sentence
"you" and "me" both act as actors. So the correct sentence is "You and I are meant to
be together"

2. Pronoun Object
The opposite of a subject pronoun, an object pronoun has a role as a victim in a
sentence. For "you" and noun pronoun there is no change in the form of the subject
pronoun. So the pronoun objects that change from the subject are me, us, them, his,
and her.
Here are examples of sentences :
SUBJECTS EXAMPLES

Me Annabelle never call me in the morning

You People can’t blame you for this mistake

Us Don’t you want to join us tomorrow?

Them Failure can’t destroy them, because they have a strong


mentality
Him No one brave enough to punch him

Her Just tell her that you’re alright, she’s very worried about


you

It/This/That Please put it in a safe place

Those/Thes We can put these flowers on a bouquet


e

3. Possesive Adjective Pronoun


Possesive adjective pronoun is a personal pronoun which shows ownership of
something. Usually a pronoun like this is followed by the person's noun. Possesive
adjective pronoun consists of: my, your, her, his, its, our, and their.
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

Here are examples of sentences :


SUBJECT POSSESIVE EXAMPLES
ADJECTIV
E

I My My stomach is hungry, I need to eat now

You Your Your haircut makes you look fresher

She Her Her children are beautiful like their Mom

He His His uniform is still wet from the rain yesterday

It Its Its skin is really poisonous, don’t touch it

We Our Our dreams will come true within this week

They Their The students were still at the museum when their


bus came

4. Possesive Pronoun
Just like a possessive adjective pronoun, a possessive pronoun is a personal
pronoun that shows ownership of something. The difference is, a possessive pronoun
is preceded by the noun you have. In addition, a possessive pronoun can also be used
to avoid repetition of two nouns. For example, "Your car is parked right beside
theirs."
In fact the sentence can also say, "Your car is parked right beside their cars."
A possessive pronoun consists of: mine, yours, hers, his, ours, and theirs.
Here are some examples :
SUBJECT POSSESIVE EXAMPLES

I Mine The car is mine, not Farah’s

You Yours This heart will always be yours

She Hers The slippers are hers

He His We couldn’t touch the console, because it’s


his

We Ours The victory is ours, no one can take it from


us

They Theirs My home is beside theirs

5. Reflexive Pronoun
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

Reflexive pronoun is a pronoun that is used to refer something to oneself.


This single type of phrase consists of myself, yourself, herself, herself, and itself.
Meanwhile the plural consists of yourselves, ourselves, and themselves.
Here are some examples.
SUBJECT REFLEXIVE EXAMPLES

I Myself I can do this myself

You Yourself Please learn to take care of yourself


(tunggal)

She Herself She won’t go by herself, I’ll go with her

He Himself He made himself losing the game


It Itself An eagle can live by itself

You Yourselves Don’t burden yourselves with trivial


(jamak) matters

c. Verb (Kata Kerja)


According to the Merriem-Webster dictionary, a verb is a word that denotes an
action, behavior, or event experienced by the subject. In the composition of the part
of speech, the verb is usually located right behind the noun / pronoun that is the
subject.
In Indonesian, verbs are usually referred to as "verbs". However, some verbs in
English cannot stand on their own, or they need another sentence to be understood.
Details about the types of verbs will be discussed in the next section.
1. Types of Verbs
Actually, if all of them are explained, there are more than ten types of verbs in the
part of speech. However, to make it easier to understand, Kampung Inggris will only
describe six main types of verbs that you must master. The six verbs are regular /
irregular, action / stative, transitive / intransitive, linking, auxiliary, and finite / non-
finite.
2. Regular / Irregular Verb
Regular and irregular verbs are two types of verbs that differ in their form,
especially when they are transformed into tenses. Regular verbs are normal verbs
which when changed to verb-2 and verb-3 both end in -ed.
3. Action / Stative Verb
The next types of verbs to be discussed are active and stative verbs. If the
regular / irregular verb is different in terms of form, the action / stative verb is
different in terms of the nature of the word. Action verbs are verbs that are actually
worked out physically by the subject. This type of verb is what we call "real verbs".
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

Meanwhile, stative verbs are verbs that are not actually done physically. But done by
other members of the body, for example thoughts and feelings.

4. Transitive / Intransitive Verb


Transitive verbs are verbs that cannot be perfect / lack meaning if they are
not followed by an object. For example in the sentence "I bring", the sentence
cannot be called perfect because "bring" requires an object.
5. Linking Verb
Linking verbs are verbs that function to connect two different words,
phrases or sentences. The purpose of using linking verbs is to simplify sentence
variations. Because instead of acting as a predicate, linking verb acts as a liaison
between the subject and the predicate.
Being She’s being kind
Appear Most teenagers today didn’t appear happy
Become We become strong because of the problems we faced
Turn My father turns to be more considerate
Stand Please, stand still, stand strong even if you think you couldn’t
Feel I feel like crazy when he re-tweeted my comment
Sound It sounds funny to me, really
Grow Let’s grow bigger and tougher this year!
Remain She remains stubborn even if she has beaten twice
Seem You seem to be more feeler than before
6. Auxiliary Verb
Auxiliary verbs have a function that is practically the same as linking
verbs, namely to connect. The difference is, the auxiliary verb also serves to
expand the meaning of a sentence. That is the reason why auxiliary verbs are also
referred to as helping verbs. There are four types of auxiliary verbs, namely have,
do, be, and modals :
Have Do Be Modals

Has Do Is Can Have


to

Have Does Am Could Shall

Had Did Are May Should

Was Might Ought


to

Were Must Need


to
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

7. Finite / Non-Finite Verb


Finite and non-finite verbs are verbs that are differentiated by their flexibility in a
sentence. Finite verbs are verbs that change form when there is a change in number, subject, and
tenses. You could say, the finite verb is a verb in general, which can change. On the other hand,
non-finite verbs are verbs that cannot change form, regardless of whether the number, subject, or
tense changes. In English, there are three types of non-finite verbs, namely bare infinitives,
gerunds, and participles

Non-Finite Verb Sentence Examples


Bare Infinitive She makes me believe in love again
He watched his wife writhe in pain
I could tell you many things about him
Gerund I didn’t mind helping you if you need me
Sandra help her Mom cleaning the room
I prefer watching movies than going out
Participle Please come over here!
Lock the door again every time you open it
Kill the mosquitoes with this electric racket

d. Adjective (Kata Sifat)


adjective is a word that describes nouns and pronouns, or perhaps more familiarly
referred to as an adjective (kata sifat). Adjectives also function to modify, make slight
changes, measure or quantify, to provide more information about a noun / pronoun.
Adjectives that are usually familiar or we often encounter in everyday reading and
conversations can be classified into several categories, such as:

Age Old, young, modern, ancient, recent, antique, historical, etc.


Brightness Dark, bright, pale, light, shining, glowing, drab, etc.
Color Red, blue, white, orange, green, black, pastel, silver, etc.
Distance Far, close, near, nearby, distant, remote, etc.
Emotion Happy, sad, confuse, funny, lonely, excited, scared, etc.
Material Cotton, plastic, glass, cloth, leather, silicon, etc.
Nationality Indonesian, Chinese, American, Japanese, Canadian, etc.
Opinion Good, bad, worst, comfortable, unusual, amazing, lovely, etc.
Religion Moslem, Christian, Buddhist, atheist, etc.
Shape Flat, oval, square, round, straight, triangular, elliptical, etc.
Size Heavy, big, small, little, tall, huge, long, lean, scrawny, etc.
Sound Quiet, noisy, loud, silent, mute, silent, etc.
Speed Fast, slow, rapid, brief, hasty, quick, swift, etc.
Taste Sour, salty, spicy, bitter, delicious, sweet, etc.
Time First, last, early, late, belated, morning, evening, night, etc.
Touch Soft, smooth, rough, silky, scratchy, coarse, etc.

1. Adjective Order
Basically the adjective always comes before the noun that is trying to explain.
Adjectives cannot be placed arbitrarily in a sentence. If there are more than two
adjectives trying to explain the noun, then there is a certain order that must be
fulfilled in writing, namely:
Determiner / article> Quantity> Opinion> Size> Age> Shape> Color> Origin>
Material> Purpose> Noun as adjective + Noun described
 Example:
• Rough childhood
Rough + childhood = Adjective (touch) + Noun defined.
• Comfortable white pajamas
Comfortable> white + pajamas = Opinion> color + Noun described.

• Beautiful long straight black hair


Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

Beautiful> long> straight> black + hair = Opinion> size> shape> color + noun
defined.
• Big antique oval wooden desk
Big> antique> oval> wooden + desk = size> age> shape> material + noun
described.
• Two tiny blueberry cupcakes
Two> tiny> blueberry + cupcakes = quantity> size> flavor + noun described.
Note: Adjectives do not have the plural form and can be placed directly after the verb
be. Example:
1. Three beautiful daughters (TRUE)
2. Three beautifuls daughters (WRONG)
3. Her shoes are black (Adjective is located after be)

e. Adverbs
In Indonesian it means adverb. Adverbs are used to say, describe or provide an
explanation of how an activity / work is done. In addition, adverbs can also serve as
explanations to reveal how to do something. Adverbs can also be used to describe an
adjective or adverb in a sentence. For more details, see the explanation of the
following types of adverbs.
1. Adverb of manner
Adverb of manner provides an explanation of how to do an action or job.
In general, adverbs of this method are formed from adjectives that end with –ly.
Some examples are slowly (with lammbat), quickly, smoothly, beautifully. Apart
from that, there are also some adverbs of manner which differ greatly from the
original adjective. For example good which changes to well (well / good) and fast
which has not changed at all.

hari ini dia adalah anak yang paling bahagia karena saudara perempuannya
membuatkan kue yang lezat untuknya.)

house. (Saat aku berjalan ke rumah sepulang dari sekolah, aku melihat sebuah
kecelakaan di jalan yang terletak di dekat rumahku)
4. Adverb of frequency
Adverbs of frequency provide an explanation of the intensity or how often
an action or work is performed. Some examples are always (selalu), often

 She is very beautiful. (Dia sangat cantik)
 He is quite sad. (Dia sedikit sedih)

f. Preposition (Preposisi)
When we talk about prepositions, there will be so much discussion and memory
rushing into our heads. This is normal because there are so many and complexities of
this discussion even among people who have English as their mother tongue.
Because of this, it is still very incessantly taught in schools in these countries. There
are so many. In short, a preposition means a word that connects a noun and a
pronoun.
To better facilitate understanding, common examples of prepositions that are often
used in everyday speech are in, of, to, by, for, with, under, above, into, upon, behind,
beside, before, after , towards, inside, outside, below, and others.

When discussed in detail, there are six (6) types of prepositions that need to be
known.
1. Prepositions for time
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

2. Prepositions for place


3. Prepositions for direction
4. Prepositions for agent
5. Prepositions of instruments

Below are simple explanations and examples for each type of preposition:
1. Prepositions of time
These prepositions are used to describe adverbs of time. The most basic and simple
examples of these prepositions are at, on, and in.
• In is used to describe the month or year (In January, In March, In 2018), besides that
this preposition is also used to explain the time information regarding clear and
precise times of the day (In the morning, In winter, In the evening), and also to
describe a specific time in the past or future (In the 20th century, In early days, In
future, etc).
• On is used to describe a clear day (On Sunday, On Monday, etc), to explain a date
(On the 7th of January, etc), and for days with a clear time (On my birthday, On
independence day, etc) .
• At is used to describe the time (At 3pm, At 6am, etc) or to describe an event that
clearly occurred in time (At sunset, At the moment, At bed time, etc).

2. Prepositions of place
These prepositions are used to describe place descriptions. The most basic and simple
examples of these prepositions are at, on, and in.
• In is used to describe a place that has boundaries or, more easily, imagine a building
that has a lid and a door. Any place that has a limited space or a room (In a garden, In
England, In a room, In a school).
• On is used to describe a place that is on top of an item or is attached to another item.
(On the wall, on the table, On a wall, etc).
• At is used to describe a specific place and have a specific purpose as well.

3. Prepositions of Direction
These prepositions tell and explain the direction to a place. It is most used when
someone is trying to explain the direction to a place. The sentence examples are as
follows:
• They are going to the classroom.
• She was running toward me with a huge ball in front of her foot.
• He threw the phone he was holding into the bag he's been bringing everywhere.

4. Prepositions for Agents


These prepositions are used to explain the relationship between the noun or subject in
a sentence and the actions taken in that sentence.
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

The most common words included in these prepositions are by, with, etc. Examples to
make this easier to understand are as follows:
• I believe this book was written by Ken Adams.
• A lot of noise was done by those kids.
• I believe she is going there with her boyfriend

5. Prepositions for Instruments


This preposition is used to explain the relationship between the noun or subject in a
sentence with the instrument or an object in the sentence.
Examples of common prepositions that fall into this category are by, with the help of,
on, etc. The examples of sentences that use prepositions for instruments are as
follows:
• He actually broke the door with the help of the hammer.
• I don't think that she can actually fix the phone by that computer.
• This room cannot be opened with this key.

g. Conjuncion (Konjungsi)
coordinating Conjunctions serves to join words, phrases, or equivalent clauses. In
addition, this conjunction serves to connect two or more independent clauses or
clauses that can stand alone. Conjunctions that fall into this category are for, and, nor,
but, or, yet, and so. To make it easy to memorize, these words are usually shortened
to FANBOYS. Here's an example of its use.
1. For
The word for if used as a conjunction will have the same meaning as the word
because, which is 'because'. So, the word for can be used to denote a cause-and-
effect relationship.
Here are examples:
 Martha did not come to school today, for she was sick.
 I like to go to the mall on weekends, for I love shopping.

2. And
The word “and” functions to add words or sentences that do not conflict with the
previous sentence. Example:
 In my spare time, I love to watch movies and I love to cook.
 There are a lot of activities you can do at Cihampelas Walk such as
shopping and watching movies.
3. Nor
This word is used to attach two or more negative words, phrases, or sentences.
Consider the examples:
 I don't want you nor her to be on my team.
 He doesn't like to eat fish nor chicken, he only likes beef.
4. But
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

This word is used to denote two or more opposites. Example:


 I would love to go to your party, but I'm afraid I can't.
 The movie looks good, but I'm not a fan of the actors.
5. Or
This word is used to present a choice or an alternative. Here are examples:
 Which dress do you prefer? The red one or the blue one?
 You can use pen or pencil to answer the test.
6. Yet
Just like the word but, the word yet is also used to denote two conflicting
ideas. Here are examples:
 I'm so hungry, yet I don't know what to eat.
 Linda is bored at home, yet she doesn't want to go out.
7. So
This word is used to denote a consequence or effect. Here's an example:
 I didn't have breakfast this morning, so I'm really hungry right now.
 Mr. Rizky said he will be late tomorrow, so you don't have to come early
tomorrow.

8. Correlative Conjunction
Correlative Conjunction has the same function as Coordinating
Conjunction, except that this conjunction is in pairs and cannot be separated.
Examples of correlative conjunction include:
 Both - And
 Either - Or
 Neither - Nor
 Not Only - But
 Whether - Or
In order not to be confused, consider examples of its use:
 Both you and I need to see Mr. Rizky in his office tomorrow.
 I either want to go to Bandung or Yogyakarta this holiday.
 Neither I nor Ben want to go to Grandpa's house this weekend.
 Not only she is about to graduate from college this year, but she is also
about get married.
 Whether you like it or not, we will go to Grandpa's house this weekend.

9. Subordinating Conjunction
This conjunction serves to connect an independent clause (clause that can stand
alone) with a dependent clause (clause that cannot stand alone). In other words,
the subordinating conjunction functions to connect two or more unequal
sentences. The subordinating conjunction can show cause-effect relationships,
opposites, and relationships between other clauses.
Muhammad Ihsan Rahman
065120147

Some words that are included in the subordinating conjunction include


because, since, as, although, while, and while.
Here are examples:
 Because of the storm, our flight is delayed.
 Although she's sick, she's still very energetic.
 While you were gone, I took care of your cat.

h. Interjection
Maybe some of you are still not familiar with the use of interjection in English. In
Indonesian, Interjection is also often referred to as exclamation. The exclamation
word always ends with an exclamation point at the end of the sentence. English also
has its own rules of how to use words that can indicate an exclamation word. Words
that are usually used in interjection, such as: Ouch! Oh! Wow! Hey! And many
others. The use of the word also depends heavily on the purpose or meaning of the
interjection. In addition, interjection words are often used in everyday conversation,
but you may not realize it.
1. Interjection function
In English, interjection is often defined as a word that has its own meaning
and is widely used in one sentence to express various kinds of feelings,
usually some of these interjection words can indicate several things, such as:
disgust, anger, pain, happiness, admiration, and still. many others. However,
not all interjection words use these words. Some use commas to make their
meaning more subtle. In other words, interjection is more used in English
conversations than in writing because it represents the expression of feelings
felt by the speaker. Interjection also does not have a grammatical relationship
with the complementary sentence.
2. Types of Interjection Examples
 Injection Alas Argh Interjection
Alas and Argh are used to express feelings of annoyance, anger and
frustration.
Example:
 Alas! I failed on interview
 Arrrgh, I make many mistakes
3. Ah! And Aha!
Ah and Aha are used to express success and happiness.
Example:
 Ah! I get perfect score in this class (Ah! I get perfect score in this
class)
 Aha! I am so happy because I won this competition (Aha! I feel so
happy because I won the competition)
