Conditional sentence is a compound sentence that has a condition of imagination, supposition, and something that has never happened. This presupposition expressed may or may not be realized. A conditional sentence consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause which usually starts with the word 'if' or if. A sentence consisting of these two clauses can then be called a conditional sentence. However, there are some sentences that can start with 'when' or when. The form of a conditional sentence is an if-clause + main clause. if clause is a clause that is part of the conditional. The main clause is a sentence that contains the consequences of the conditional condition at the beginning of the sentence. In addition, the conditional sentence formula can also be reversed into a main clause + if-clause.

Example of a conditional sentence:

Ø  If i save enough money, i can go to Bali this year.

Ø  My sister can have dessert if she finishes her homework.

 

There are 4 types of conditional sentences, each of which uses a different tense. However, basically all conditional sentences consist of an if clause and a main clause.

1.    Conditional sentence type 0 is used to state the cause and effect of a fact that is generally known to be true. If thing A happens, it will cause thing B.

Example:

Ø  If you heat butter, it melts.

Ø  The ground gets wet if it rains.

2.     Conditional sentence type 1 is used to express something that is very likely to happen in the future if we do something.

Example:

Ø  If you go now, you will arrive there on time.

Ø  I will buy a new bike if I pass the exam.

3.      Conditional sentence type 2 is used to express something that is unrealistic or very unlikely to happen. Therefore, this type is suitable for expressing our dreams.

Example:

Ø  If I lived in Seoul, tonight I would go to that concert.

4.      Conditional sentence type 3 is used to convey presuppositions for events that have occurred in the past. Since it has already happened and cannot be changed in reality, we can only state what will happen if the event is different from reality.

Example:

Ø  If I had left my house earlier, I wouldn't have missed the train.

Adjective adalah kata sifat. Lalu, apa sih kata sifat itu? Adjective (kata sifat) adalah untuk menjelaskan sifat dari suatu orang, hewan, atau benda (noun/pronoun). Contoh adjective antara lain adalah:

1.      Beautiful = cantik

2.      Stingy = pelit

3.      Messy = berantakan

4.      Short = pendek

5.      Clever = pandai

6.      Sour = masam

Semua kata di atas ini adalah kata yang menggambarkan sifat dari seseorang atau suatu hal. Baik secara fisik yang dapat dilihat dan dirasakan ataupun hal yang abstrak. Untuk posisi dari adjective adalah:

1.      Sebelum kata benda (noun).

Contoh:

a)      green car

b)      beautiful lady

c)      nice weather.

Semua kata yang bercetak miring seperti di atas adalah kata sifat yang menjelaskan seperti apa sih car, lady, dan weather itu. Inilah yang sering membuat orang Indonesia bingung. Dalam Bahasa Indonesia, biasanya kata penjelas diletakkan di belakang. Contohnya: gadis cantik. Kata cantik menjelaskan kata gadis dan letaknya di belakang. Sedangkan dalam Bahasa Inggris, kata sifat seperti ini ada di depan contonya: beautiful girl.

2.      Setelah linking verb yaitu: appear, sound, look, feel, seem, be, is, am, are, was, were, been, become, get, taste, smell, remain, grow, stand, turn.

 

Contoh:

a)      This idea sounds great.

b)      They are alive.

c)      She is pretty.

 

Jika kita perhatikan, adjective yang sudah saya sebutkan di atas (pretty, alive, great) menjelaskan tentang bagaimana si Subject (this idea, they, she) itu. Yang mana subject-subject tersebut adalah noun dan pronoun.

 

Urutan Adjective (word order)

Kadang dalam 1 kalimat bisa muncul lebih dari 1 adjective. Bagaimana urutannya yang benar? Untuk mempermudah cara mengingatnya, kita bisa berpatokan pada:

 

DOSSACOMTP

 

a)      Determiner: A/an, the, my, your, his, this, etc.

b)      Opinion: kata sifat yang brupa opini (nice, luxurious, beautiful, dll)

c)      Size: kata sifat yang menyatakan ukuran atau panjang (big, small, huge, dll)

d)      Shape: kata sifat yang menyatakan bentuk dari suatu benda (round, square, cylindrical, dll.)

e)      Age: menyatakan seberapa tua suatu benda (old, young, ancient)

f)       Color: menyatakan warna suatu benda (green, pink, red)

g)      Origin: menyatakan darimana benda itu berasal (Russian, American, Korean)

h)      Material: terbuat dari apa benda itu (wooden, iron, steel)

i)       Type: jenis benda dan cara pengoperasian benda (electrical pump, political issue)

j)       Purpose: untuk apa benda tersebut (washing machine, racing car)

 

Contoh:

a)      It is a luxurious wooden chair (DOM)

b)      Lina is wearing a nice black night gown (DOCT)

c)      My dad has just bought an ancient Chinese watch (DAO)

 

NB: Kalau ada lebih dari 1 color dalam 1 kalimat, bisa menambahkan and. Contohnya,

They are beautiful pink and black bag.

 

 

 

 

 

-ed vs -ing

Beberapa adjective ada yang brakhiran -ed ada juga yang berakhiran -ing. Seperti kalimat berikut ini:

a)      The story is boring. I am bored now.

b)      I am very tired. It was a tiring day.

 

Kalau kita amati, -ed digunakan untuk menyatakan perasaan atau apa yang kita rasakan terhadap suatu hal. Jadi, hal yang dari luar mempengaruhi kita sehingga menimbulkan perasaan tersebut. Sedangkan -ing digunakan untuk menyatakan sifat dari suatu benda yang berimbas pada diri kita atau orang lain. Jadi, kalau kalian merasa bosan, jangan bilang "I am boring". Itu brarti kalian yang membosankan dan udah bikin orang lain jadi bosan. Kalau kalian bosan, kalian harus bilang " I am bored" karena -ed menyatakan tentang apa yang kita rasakan terhadap suatu hal.
