introductory it

trouble is a friend yeah trouble is a friend - performed by lenka - hihihi . OK, let we learn about "introductory it"

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.
It is dangerous to play with fire.
It could be dangerous to drive so fast.
Note:

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.
