English Verbs

Lesson 3: Verbs

Hari ini sy ingin sentuh sedikit berkenaan Verbs atau dlm BM dipanggil kata kerja. Walaupun nampak simple, inilah juga topik yg paling banyak buat anak murid saya garu kepala.

Kita semua sudah sedia maklum, utk menulis ayat yg betul, ayat tersebut WAJIB ada Verbs/kata kerja.

Lihat contoh berikut:

1. Andrian at school (x) 
2. Andrian is at school (/)

1. They in Kuala Lumpur (x)
2. They are in Kuala Lumpur (/)

1. My brothers the stairs. (x)
2. My brothers climb the stairs (/).

1. John the motorcycle (x)
2. John rides the motorcycle (/)

*AYAT no.1 walaupun boleh difahami, tatabahasanya silap kerana tiada Verbs.

Dlm English, ada dua jenis verbs: Action Verb & Non-action Verbs.

1. Action Verbs: melibatkan action/pergerakan.
Contoh: walk, run, eat, sleep, climb, ride

2. Non-action Verbs: melibatkan sesuatu yg dpt dilihat/dihidu,/ emosi dirasai ketika itu.
Contoh: is, are, seem, appear, love, prefer

Walaubagaimanapun, kita perlu tahu ciri2 lain bagi verbs. Secara ringkasnya, verbs boleh melibatkan:

1. Singular : walks, talks
2. Plural : walk,  talk
3. Time (tense) : now, everyday, tomorrow
4. Regular: walk/walked, talk/talked
5. Irregular: take/took/taken, swim/swam/swum
6. Positive: does/do
7. Negative: does not/do not
8. Subject-verb agreement:
a) She walks to school.
b) They walk to school.

Saya tak ulas penggunaan ciri di atas satu persatu dgn lanjut krn nak anda study sendiri dahulu. Boleh google internet, buka buku english lama2 ke.. atau apa2 yg sewaktu dgnnya. Sekiranya anda semua dah expert dgn penggunaan kelapan2 ciri ini, insyaallah dah xda masalah nk buat ayat menggunakan Verbs.

Kalau ada kemusykilan, boleh tnya saya.
