>> Different
use of "a" and "an" in Early Noun (Noun) . . .
In English, to identify that a single object (singular) we
put the word "a" or "an" in front of the sentence. Then when to use "a" or "an" in front of the noun? Identify differences in the use of "a"
and "an" is quite easy. You may notice a few sentences and
description below.
1. I have a friend
from Bandung.
2. My uncle gave me a
bag last year.
3. She's going to study at a university by the end of this semester.
4. I takes an hour
to go to Bondowoso from Jember.
5. Shinta has an
apple in the refrigerator.
6. I buy an old
bicycle.
From the examples above sentence we can know that the difference between "a" and "an" lies in the consonant or vowel at the beginning of the noun.
For more details, the words in bold in the sentence above
will be explained further below :
1. a friend ->
friend said beginning with the letter f (consonants).
2. a bag ->
bag word starting with the letters b (consonants).
3. a university
-> u said the university starting with the letters were read yu (consonants)
4. an hour ->
hour word begins with h is not readable (vocals).
5. an apple ->
apple word begins with a (vocal).
6. an old bicycle
-> word starting with the letters o old bicycle (vocals).
Note: There are some English words that begin to read vowel consonants but such hour, university in the example sentence above.
>> Penggunaan
artikel "THE" . . .
Ada beberapa rules yang harus anda pahami dalam penggunaan
article the.
1. The umumnya digunakan untuk merujuk noun yang sudah
pernah disebutkan sebelumnya. Dengan adanya the, noun yang dimaksud menjadi
lebih spesifik. Noun tersebut bisa countable, bisa juga uncountable noun. Jika
countable noun, noun tersebut bisa singular, bisa juga plural. Dalam hal ini,
thedapat berarti tersebut atau itu, atau kadang-kadang ini.
Contoh:
* I met a guy last night. The guy asked my number and whether
I would go out for a date. (number = nomor telepon, date = kencan). Dalam
kalimat ini, the bisa digantikan dengan that.
* There are many persons named Agnes Monica on Facebook.
You will have hard time to find theAgnes Monica who sings Matahariku.
Sebaliknya, the tidak digunakan jika kita membicarakan
uncountable nouns atau plural nouns secara umum (in general).
Contoh:
* Water needs to be conserved. (Air perlu
dikonservasi/dilindungi).
* Sugar is sweet. (Gula (rasanya) manis).
* Durians are very smelly. (Duarian-durian sangat
bau/baunya keras).
* Lazy students hardly get good grades. (Murid-murid yang
malas hampir tidak pernah mendapat nilai-nilai bagus).
2. Kata seperti breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper (= dinner),
school, church, home, dan college pada umumnya tidak membutuhkan article.
Tetapi, jika noun ini dirujuk, barulah article the diperlukan.
Contoh:
* We go to school everyday. Starting next week, however,
the school will be bulldozed by the government. (be bulldozed = diratakan
dengan tanah dengan menggunakan bulldozer).
* Jenny and I just finished having lunch at the cafetaria.
I thanked her because she paid for thelunch.
* I am very tired. I’d like to go home.
3. Rules yang lain dalam menentukan apakah the digunakan
atau tidak, dapat dilihat pada tabel berikut. Note: the yang digunakan pada
nouns di tabel berikut pada umumnya tidak berarti “tersebut”, olehnya itu,
tidak dapat digantikan dengan that.
Contoh :
Bryan Adams was born in Canada, but he lives in Great
Britain. Celine Dion is also a Canadian born singer, but she lives in the
United States now.
