Dialogue

Here is a conversation between Mrs Smith (Joan) and husband Steve.

It's Saturday and Joan and Steve are decorating.
Joan	Steve, you missed a bit.
Steve	Where?
Joan	Here, on the wall just by the window, you can see a patch of white.
Steve	Oh yes, I see it. It's difficult in this light.
Joan	I know, well at least we have finished this room, only five more to go.
Steve	Are you sure you want to put wallpaper up in the lounge?
Joan	Yes, but don't worry, I'm really good at wallpapering. I just wish that John would decide on what he wants his room doing in.
Steve	I know, it's difficult when you're a boy. At least he's grown out of Star Wars, I keep thinking he'll ask for red and black or something equally gruesome.
Joan	Yes, but it is his room. I'm glad we decided not to move though. Maybe we should think about building an extension to the kitchen instead.
Steve	One thing at a time please! Lets get this decorating over and done with first.
Joan	Ha! Oh by the way you missed a bit by the door too!
Steve	Hmmm, thanks. Here's a brush.

simple future

CEKIDOT BEKICOOOOT *rofl*

Definition
Simple Future Tense is used to describing job or action that will to do (happened) at future.

The Formula:

1. Will

(+) S + shall/will + Verb I
(-) S + shall/will + not + Verb I
(?) Shall/will + S + Verb I?

2. Going to

(+) S + be + going to + Verb I
(-) S + be + not + goimg to + Verb I
(?) be + S + going to + Verb I?

How do we use the Simple Future Tense?
No Plan: we use the simple future tense when there is no plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision spontaneously at the time of speaking.

Example:

Hold on. I'll get a pen.
We will see what we can do to help you.
Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight
I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow.
I think I will have a holiday next year.
I don't think I'll buy that car.

Prediction: we often use the simple future tense to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen.

Example:
It will rain tomorrow.
People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.
Who do you think will get the job?

Note:
That when we have a plan or intention to do something in the future, we usually use other tenses or expressions, such as the present continuous tense or going to.

Time signal:

1. Tomorrow…
Morning
Afternoon
Evening
Night

2. Next…
Time
Week
Month
Year
January

3. Tonight

4. The day after tomorrow

5. Soon

6. Later

7. Two, three more days

8. Two, three days later

9. By and by

noun phrases

now playing : Believe In Me by demi lovato hehehe.. back to class ! we discuss about noun phrases , N O W :D

The noun phrase is a group of words that ends with a noun. It can contain determiners (the, a, this, etc.), adjectives, adverbs, and nouns. It cannot begin with a preposition. Remember that both subjects and complements are generally noun phrases.

Example:
My coach is happy.
I like the cars over there.
The woman who lives there is my aunt.
Frankenstein is the name of the scientist not the monster.
I consider Meong my favorite cat.
Small children often insist that they can do it by themselves.
To read quickly and accurately is John’s goal.
Two of my guests have arrived.
Mr. Jones spoke to Dr. James.
My friend works with her father.
Alex is a smart tall white boy.
It's a beautiful red car.
Mr. Aldy has just bought an expensive large house.


Noun phrases atau frase nomina adalah frase yang terdiri dari nomina atau pronomina (sebagai head) dan modifiers.

Modifiers yang biasanya menyertai nomina adalah:
- determiners (articles, demonstratives, numbers, possessives, quantifiers)
- adjectives, adjective phrases, adjective clauses
- relative clauses

Seperti halnya nomina, frase nomina juga mempunyai fungsi sebagai subjek atau objek dalam suatu kalimat. Perhatikan contoh berikut di bawah ini:
- My coach is happy.
- I like the cars over there.
- The woman who lives there is my aunt.
- Frankenstein is the name of the scientist not the monster.
- I consider Meong my favorite cat.
- Small children often insist that they can do it by themselves.
- To read quickly and accurately is John’s goal.
- Two of my guests have arrived.
- Mr. Jones spoke to Dr. James.
- My friend works with her father.

Frase nomina selalu memiliki nomina sebagai head. Dan umumnya determiners dan adjective phrases menempati posisi sebagai pre-modifiers atau pre-head. Contoh:
- the children
- happy children
- the happy children

Setelah head, diletakkan post-modifiers yang panjangnya tidak dibatasi, contoh: the dog that chased the cat that killed the mouse that ate the cheese that was made from the milk that came from the cow that...

Dalam kenyataannya, pemakaian post-modifiers sepanjang contoh di atas jarang digunakan, bahkan tidak pernah.

Head dari frase nomina tidak harus selalu nomina, bisa juga berupa pronomina (pronouns).
Contoh:
- I like coffee.
- The waitress gave me the wrong dessert.
- This is my car.

Jika yang berlaku sebagai head berupa pronomina, maka frase nomina itu umumnya memiliki head (berupa pronomina) itu saja. Hal ini karena pronomina tidak memerlukan determiners atau adjectives sehingga pre-modifiers tidak diperlukan. Tetapi, beberapa pronomina, memungkinkan untuk ditambahkan post-modifiers.
[Those who arrive late] cannot be admitted until the interval.

Begitu juga numbers, dapat menempati posisi sebagai head dari frase nomina.
[Two of my guests] have arrived.
[The first to arrive] was John.


Catatan
Kemampuan memahami frase nomina dengan baik merupakan hal yang penting untuk mengenali ide dalam suatu kalimat, daripada sekadar mengetahui arti kata per kata. Pengetahuan akan kemungkinan variasi dari perluasan bentuk pada frase nomina sangat bermanfaat dalam memahami secara tepat dan spesifik makna yang terkandung dalam suatu kalimat.

finite verbs

"kini terasa sungguh semakin engkau jauh, semakin terasa dekat.." how beautiful thats song fill fire hell in at noon hahahaha . let's go back to lesson about finite verbs :)

A finite verb is a verb that is inflected for person and for tense according to the rules and categories of the languages in which it occurs. Finite verbs can form independent clauses, which can stand by their own as complete sentences.

A non-finite verb has no subject, tense or number. The only non-finite verb forms are the infinitive (indicated by to), the gerund or the participle.
Some Types Tense:

Finite verb forms include: I go, she goes, he went
Non-finite verb forms include: to go, going, gone

Identify the finite verbs in a sentence:

1. Most finite verbs can take an -ed or a -d at the end of the word to indicate time in the past:cough, coughed; celebrate, celebrated.
2. Nearly all finite verbs take an -s at the end of the word to indicate the present when the subject of the verb is third-person singular: cough, he coughs; celebrate, she celebrates. 
3. Finite verbs are often groups of words that include such auxiliary verbs as can, must, have, and be: can be suffering, must eat, will have gone.
4. Finite verbs usually follow their subjects: He coughs. The documents had compromised him. They will have gone.
5. Finite verbs surround their subjects when some forms of a question are asked: Is he coughing? Did they celebrate?

Introductory "It"
When the subjective is an infinitive phrase:
We begin a sentence with it when the real subject is an infinitive phrase.
So instead of saying, ‘To accept your advice is difficult’, we say, ‘It is difficult to accept your advice’.

Structure: It + verb + subject complement + infinitive phrase (real subject)
It is easy to learn English. (To learn English is easy.)
It is easy to find fault with others. (To find fault with others is easy.)
It is difficult to know his motive. (To know his motive is difficult.)
It is difficult to find a good job during these troubled times.

direct and indirect speech

what a lonely night -____- I just hear cricket sound from the outside brr . but I want sing fill a lonely night *dancing hula hula* " Angel of Mercy, How did you find me? , Where did you read my story? .... " what a nice song fill a lonely night :))
back to do point >> Direct speech refers to reproducing another person’s exact words or saying exactly what someone has said (sometimes called quoted speech) Here what a person says appears within quotation marks ("...") and should be word for word. For example: She said, "Today's lesson is on presentations." or "Today's lesson is on presentations," she said.

indirect speech reproducing the idea of another person’s words that doesn’t use question mark to enclose what the person said and it doesn’t have to be word for word. Indirect speech is sometimes called reported speech
For example:
Direct speech :"I'm going to the cinema", he said.
Indirect speech : He said he was going to the cinema.

tense change :
When reporting speech the tense usually changes. This is because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past (because obviously the person who spoke originally spoke in the past). The verbs therefore usually have to be in the past too.
Note : the reporting verbs that are usually used to report imperative sentence are :Tell , other command , ask , warn , remind

present simple - past tense
direct: achyat said, "I eat pop mie"
indirect: dhani said that he ate pop mie.

past simple - past perfect
direct: daddy said, " I went to Japan yesterday "
indirect: daddy said that he went to Japan the day before.

future simple - past future
direct: david archuleta said, " I will buy an i-pad next week "
indirect: david archuleta said that he would buy an i-pad the week after.

present continuous - past continuous
direct: dodo said, " I'm playing badminton "
indirect: dodo said that he was playing badminton

past continuous - past perfect continuous
direct: she said, " I was teaching earlier "
indirect : she said she had been teaching earlier.

Time Signal :
this - that
today - yesterday
these - those
now - then
a week ago - a week before
next week - the following week
tomorrow - the next / following day


Jadi, direct and indirect speech bukannya "pidato" tetapi kalimat langsung dan tidak langsung hehehe

gratitude, compliment, and congratulation

this is first blog of the year hehe :D we will discussing about gratitude, compliment, and congratulation. cekidooot :p oke, kalian pada tau ga gratitude, compliment beserta congratulation? kita bahas satu satu dulu ya.. aku gunain bahasa Indonesia dulu biar semua paham dan mengerti. percuma kan kalau pake bahasa Inggris tapi kalian semua bengong apa maksut dan artinya? yauda deh gausah panjang lebar...

Gratitude is also called "thank you" . we say "thank you" when we get someone helps, when we get something from other or etc.. to be more polite, we must say thank you :)

expressing gratitude:
→ I should like to express my gratitude
→ Thank you very much
→ Thank for your help
→ How can I thank you?
→ I'm very grateful to you
→ I can't thank you enough
→ I'm very much obliged to you

responding gratitude:
→ It was the least I could do
→ You're welcome
→ No big deal
→ Don't metion it
→ It's a pleasure
→ That's all right
→ Any time

Jadi, gratitude itu sering juga disebut dengan "terima kasih" . kita berterima kasih ketika mendapat atau menerima pertolongan atau bantuan dari orang lain . agar lebih sopan, kita harus mengucapkan terima kasih :)

Compliment is expression that used to give praising to other people.

expressing compliment:
→ Good grades!
→ Excellent!
→ Nice work!
→ Good job!
→ What a nice dress!
→ You look great!
→ You look very nice!
→ You look beautiful!
→ You look handsome!
→ I really must expressmy admiiration for your dance

Follow by noun, Congratulation: congratulations, an expression of joy in the success or good fortune of another.
According to interjection, Congratulation: congratulations, (used to express joy in the success or good fortune of another): Congratulations! you have just won the lottery!
Follow by World English Dictionary, Congratulation: 1. ( usually foll by on ) to communicate pleasure, approval, or praise to (a person or persons); compliment
2. ( often foll by on ) to consider (oneself) clever or fortunate (as a result of): she congratulated herself on her tact
3. obsolete to greet

expressing congratulation:
→ Congratulation on your success
→ I must congratulate you
→ Congrats! Finally, your dream comes true!
→ Please accept mywarmest congratulations
→ I'd like to be first to congratulate you

Kesimpulannya, Gratitude adalah terima kasih yang kita ucapkan setelah menerima bantuan, pertolongan dan lain lain dari orang lain. agar lebih sopan kita gunakan terima kasih. Compliment adalah pujian untuk orang lain akan hasil kerja. bedanya dengan Gratitude adalah Gratitude "terima kasih" sedangkan Compliment lebih ke "pujian" . beda halnya dengan Congratulation yang memilikki artian "selamat" kepada orang lain atas hasil pujian . lagi lagi beda tipis dengan Compliment.
