Tulisan Wajib : REGULER VERB

Regular verbs ialah kata kerja yang bentuk keduanya / Past Tense (V 2) sama dengan bentuk ketiga / Past Participle (V 3) dan akhiran katanya ditambahkan ‘d’, ‘ed’ , dan ‘ied’. Regular Verb jauh lebih banyak dari pad Irregular Verb, jadi kalau anda tidak tahu kalau suatu kata kerja golongan irregular atau regular, anda masukkan saja kata kerja tersebut ke dalam golongan kata kerja regular, maka kemungkinannya anda benar besar, tetapi lebih baik kalau anda dapat menghafalkan kata kerja irregular.

 

He is invited

You were called

They will be hired

Contoh regular verb:

V1              V2              V3

work worked     worked

talk          talked        talked

want        wanted      wanted

help         helped       helped

ask         asked  asked

Ketentuan menambahkan akhiran pada kata Kerja Regular :

1. ditambahkan ‘d’ apabila kata kerja tersebut berakhiran ‘e’

- wave -> waved

- arrive -> arrived

- complete -> completed

- wipe -> wiped

- invite -> invited

- hire -> hired

2. ditambahkan ‘ed’ apabila kata kerjanya berakhiran konsonan (huruf mati), kecuali huruf ‘y’ yang didahului oleh huruf hidup (e,a), maka ditambahkan “ed”.

- wait -> waited

- call -> called

- paint -> painted

- nail -> nailed

  untuk regular verbs memang lumayan simpel. Namun demikian, kesalahan spelling umumnya terjadi di poin 6 karena kita umumnya tidak mengetahui the correct pronunciation dari kata yang bersangkutan. Tetapi, ini hanya menjadi kendala kalau kita mengikuti ujian. Sedangkan kalau kita menulis artikel, kesalahan spelling semestinya tidak terjadi karena kita langsung dinotified oleh applikasi yang kita gunakan setiap ada misspelling. Sayangnya, kesalahan spelling ini sering kita jumpai karena kita kurang teliti, atau simply karena ‘we don’t give a damn shit“. Yang lebih ribet bagi kita adalah their pronunciation. Walaupun pengucapan verb1 dengan verb2 (dan verb3) hanya dibedakan oleh -ed, kita dan lidah kita sering kesulitan mengucapkannya dengan benar. -ed tersebut dapat dilafalkan dengan /Id/, /d/, atau /t/ tergantung suara terakhir dari verb1.

Story Telling : Snow White

A long time ago, a child was born to a queen and king and she was called Snow White.  When the queen died, the king married again.  This new queen was wicked and hated Snow white.  The queen gave orders that Snow White was to be treated as a servant.
Snow White grew very beautiful and one day a Prince riding by, saw her at work and fell in love with her.
The queen was beautiful too, and every day she asked her Magic Mirror, "Who is the fairest in the land?" and the mirror always answered, "You are the fairest one of all".
But one day the mirror answered Snow White was the fairest in the land, and in a rage the queen gave orders to one of her Huntsmen to take Snow White into the woods and kill her.
The Huntsman had a kind heart and couldn't do the deed so told her to run away.  She fled into the woods where Seven little dwarfs lived.  Their house was small and strange.
Snow White entered the little house and finding it very untidy, started to clean up.  Upstairs she found seven little beds.  She was very tired and stretching out on one of the beds, was soon asleep.
When the Dwarfs came home they were surprised to find Snow White and after some argument, decided to let her stay.  She promised to cook and look after them.
The Queen discovered where Snow White was living and disguising herself as a witch, took a poisoned apple and set out for the Dwarfs cottage.  She gave Snow White the poisoned apple to eat and as soon as she bit the apple, she sank into unconsciousness.
Thinking she was dead, the Dwarfs built a glass coffin and put her in it. For days she lay in the forest in her glass coffin.  One day, the Prince was riding through the forest looking for Snow White and found her.  He leaned over and kissed her.  She opened her eyes and sat up with a smile. Everyone was happy.  The Prince took Snow White to his palace where they were married and lived happily ever after.
