We arrived in Yogyakarta at night and stayed at my grandmother’s house, which is only a five-minute walk from Malioboro Street.

On the first morning, we were still exhausted from the long journey from Semarang to Yogyakarta. So, we decided to stay at home and rest to regain our energy. I took a walk around the neighborhood with my sister to experience the atmosphere of Yogyakarta.

On the second day, we all went to Malioboro Street, where we saw many vendors selling various products, claiming them to be traditional Yogyakarta items. I purchased a wooden figurine and a T-shirt with "Yogyakarta" printed on it, while my sister bought a leather handbag. Meanwhile, my parents were busy selecting souvenirs to bring home.

On the third day, we visited Taman Sari and Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to explore some of Yogyakarta’s historical sites. We took many pictures, including photos of the buildings, so we could look at them again later. Around the area, we found several places offering traditional Yogyakarta food, so we eagerly stopped by to try some.

For the last two days in Yogyakarta, we spent our time visiting shopping malls, including Jogja City Mall, Malioboro Mall, Hartono Mall, and Ambarrukmo Plaza.

However, despite this perception, he had a deep interest in mathematics and physics. At the age of five, he attended a Catholic elementary school for three years before continuing his education at Luitpold Gymnasium for junior and senior secondary levels at the age of eight.

Four years later, in 1909, he was awarded the title of professor. He developed the theory of relativity, which later inspired many scientists. From his research, he introduced the famous equation E = MC², which became widely recognized worldwide. In 1921, he was honored with the Nobel Prize for his scientific contributions.

In 1933, Einstein and his family emigrated to the United States due to the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany. He worked at Princeton University and became an official U.S. citizen in 1940. However, he was deeply saddened when his discoveries were used to create the atomic bombs that devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

“I’ve got more pearls than you!” shouted Angngalo.

“No, you haven’t!” answered Angngarab. “Anyway, my pearls are bigger than yours!”

Soon, they were fighting. They threw the shells and pearls at each other. (That is why there are so many shells and pearls in the Philippines) They rolled on the ground and stamped their feet.

There was aloud “Boom!” and “Crack!”. The mountains and hills began to split. The water in the rivers and lakes flooded the land.

Hai sahabat AhzaaNet, kembali berjumpa di blog pembelajaran kami. Baik, pada kesempatan ini, kita akan belajar salah satu materi Bahasa Inggris yaitu penerapan "am/is/are" dalam kalimat Bahasa Inggris. 

Bentuk is/am/are seringkali disebut sebagai bentuk To Be dalam kalimat Simple Present Tense. Penggunaan To Be (is/am/are) diterapkan dalam kalimat nominal yang predikatnya berupa complement (kata benda/ kata sifat/ kata keterangan)

www.ahzaa.net


Baik, untuk lebih memahami tentang pokok bahasan bentuk am/is/are dalam kalimat bahasa Inggris, teman- teman dapat memperhatikan gambar berikut ini, 

www.ahzaa.net
Source : https://ahzaa.net

Bila diperhatikan, dalam kalimat tersebut, terdapat beberapa kata yang dicetak tebal. Seperti yang sudah disampaikan sebelumnya, bahwa is/am/are diterapkan dalam kalimat nominal yang predikatnya berupa complement (kata benda/ kata sifat/ kata keterangan). Hal tersebut dijelaskan sebagai berikut :

Hi, I am Fio → "am" pada kalimat tersebut menghubungkan antara subjek "I" dengan "Fio" sebagai kata benda

I'm 20 → "am" pada kalimat tersebut menghubungkan antara subjek "I" dengan "20"   sebagai kata benda

I'm Indonesian → "am" pada kalimat tersebut menghubungkan antara subjek "I" dengan "Indonesian" sebagai kata benda

I'm from Semarang → "am" pada kalimat tersebut menghubungkan antara subjek "I" dengan "from" Semarang sebagai kata keterangan

I'm a student → "am" pada kalimat tersebut menghubungkan antara subjek "I" dengan a student sebagai complement (kata benda)

My favourite colour is blue → "is" pada kalimat tersebut menghubungkan antara subjek "My favourite colour" dengan "blue" sebagai kata sifat

Penerapan am/is/are berdasar subjeknya 
Selanjutnya kita pelajari tentang bagaimana penerapan "am/is/are" dalam kalimat berdasarkan subjeknya. 
Berikut penerapan am/is/are untuk kalimat positif,

Subjek To Be
I To Be Short form
he is  he's
she is she's
it is it's
we are we're
you are you'are
they are they're


Sedangkan penerapan am/is/are untuk kalimat negatif adalah sebagai berikut, 
Subjek To Be
I To Be Short form
he is not he isn't
she is not she isn't
it is not it isn't
we are not we aren't
you are not you aren't
they are not they aren't

Contoh Kalimat 
  • It's hot. Can you turn on the air conditioner, please?
  • Linda is ill. She is in bed.
  • I'm 19 years old. My brother is 23.
  • It's eight o'clock. You'are late again. 
  • Fira and I are twins.
  • Your books are on the table. 
  • She is scared of clowns.

Perhatikan juga untuk penerapan bentuk negatif untuk am/is/are pada beberapa kalimat berikut ini,
  • I'm not hungry but I'm thirsty. 
  • Rudi is interested in art. he is not interested in politics.
  • Fira isn't a student. She is a lecturer. 
  • It's rainy today, but it isn't cold. 

Oya teman- teman, perhatikan juga penerapan am/is/are untuk bentuk lainnya seperti that, there, here dalam sebuah kalimat. 

  • Thank you. That's very kind of you 
  • Look! There's Anna
  • 'Here's your pen.' 'Thank you.'

Untuk bentuk "here", maka disesuaikan dengan jumlah benda yang mengikutinya. Dalam kalimat Here's your pen, jumlah pen adalah tunggal, sehingga memakai bentuk "is". Namun jika dalam kalimat seperti berikut, "Here are your keys", maka bentuk To Be yang digunakan adalah "are" karena benda yang mengikuti jumlahnya jamak.

Sementara itu, past participle menunjuk pada suatu aktivitas yang sifatnya pasif. Past participle memiliki bentuk kata kerja ketiga (V-3). 

Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa present participle yang sifatnya aktif itu melakukan pekerjaan dan past participle yang sifatnya pasif itu dikenai suatu pekerjaan. 

Perhatikan pada contoh present participle dan past participle berikut ini,

Contoh :
  • The coming month is May. (coming month : bulan yang akan datang)

  • a working boy is my nephew. (working boy : anak laki- laki yang sedang berkerja)

5. Jika ada dua peristiwa yang dilakukan oleh seorang subjek secara berurutan, maka peristiwa yang terjadi lebih dahulu dapat dituliskan dengan active participle.

6. Jika peristiwa yang kedua merupakan bagian atau akibat dari peristiwa yang pertama, maka peristiwa yang kedua dapat dituliskan dengan menggunakan active participle.

Contoh :

<=> Knowing her number, he called her.

  • She cleaned poured water in the floor. (poured water : air yang tertumpah)
  • The director held unexpected meeting in the weekend. (unexpected meeting : pertemuan yang tidak diharapkan)

b. He stops to smoke. 

Pada kalimat (a), He stops smoking, seseorang berhenti dari perbuatan merokok untuk kemudian melakukan perbuatan yang lain, sementara itu pada kalimat (b), He stops to smoke, seseorang berhenti dari melakukan perbuatan tertentu baru kemudian merokok. 

Secara umum, perbedaan tersebut merujuk pada berlangsung atau tidaknya suatu peristiwa. Kata yang diikuti oleh gerund, menunjuk pada peristiwa yang sudah berlangsung atau bisa dilakukan, sedangkan kata yang diikuti oleh to infinitive apabila peristiwa belum berlangsung.

Untuk lebih jelasnya, perhatikan pada contoh berikut ini,
  1. The sleeping baby is cute. (the baby who is sleeping is cute = bayi yang sedang tidur itu menggemaskan) ; Active Participle

  3. The running boy had won a race twice. (the boy who is running .... = anak laki- laki yang sedang berlari) ; Active Participle
  4. She bought running shoes for her exercise. (Dia membeli sepatu untuk berlari untuk latihannya) ; Gerund
