MasukKontraksi Untuk Pemula
Apa Itu Kontraksi?
Kontraksi adalah bentuk singkat dari kata-kata, di mana dua kata digabungkan dan beberapa huruf dihapus.
Cara Membuat Kontraksi
Untuk membuat kontraksi, digunakan satu apostrof sebagai pengganti huruf yang dihapus.
I’m here. → I am here.
Saya di sini.
She’s here → She is here.
Dia di sini.
Kapan Menggunakan Kontraksi?
Kontraksi digunakan dalam berbagai konteks. Berikut adalah beberapa konteks utamanya:
Kata Kerja 'Be' yang Dikurangi
Berbagai bentuk kata kerja 'be', termasuk 'am', 'is', dan 'are', dapat dikontraksikan. Contohnya:
She’s coming. → She is coming.
Dia datang.
We’re talking → We are talking.
Kami sedang berbicara.
bentuk lengkap | bentuk kontraksi |
|---|---|
I am | I'm |
you are | you're |
it is | it's |
he is | he's |
she is | she's |
we are | we're |
you are | you're |
they are | they're |
Kata Kerja Negatif Bantu dan Modal
'Not' digunakan untuk membuat kata kerja menjadi negatif. Untuk menggunakan bentuk kontraksi dari kata kerja negatif, huruf 'o' dihapus dan apostrof digunakan sebagai gantinya. Ini dapat dilakukan dengan kata kerja modal dan auxiliary.
bentuk lengkap | bentuk kontraksi |
|---|---|
are not | aren't |
is not | isn't |
was not | wasn't |
were not | weren't |
do not/does not | don't/doesn't |
did not | didn't |
have not/has not | haven't/hasn't |
had not | hadn't |
Peringatan!
Untuk menggunakan bentuk kontraksi dari 'I am not', hanya kata kerja 'to be' yang dapat dikontraksikan, bukan pembuat negatif. Jadi bentuk kontraksinya adalah 'I'm not' bukan 'I amn't'.
Kata kerja modal juga dibuat negatif dengan menggunakan 'not'. Seperti auxiliary, mereka dapat dikontraksikan dengan menghapus huruf 'o' dari 'not'. Contohnya:
She shouldn't go. → She should not go.
Dia seharusnya tidak pergi.
He can’t sing. → He cannot sing.
Dia tidak bisa bernyanyi.
