6. Affirmative & Negative Agreement, Negation & Commands

Materi pertemuan ke-6 Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2

AFFIRMATIVE & NEGATIVE AGREEMENT, NEGATION & COMMANDS

A.    AFFIRMATIVE AGREEMENT (so. too. and also)

Kata so, too, dan also mempunyai arti yang sama yaitu juga, pula, pun. Tapi dalam penggunaannya terdapat perbedaan, so digunakan sebelum tobe(s) dan auxilliaries (kata bantu).

Example:

•          My wife will talk to him and sowill I
•           My wife has talked about it, and sohave I
•           My wife talked about it, and sodid I
•           My wife is talking about it, and soam I

            Sedangkan too dan also digunakan setelah tobe(s) dan auxilliaries.

      Example:

•           My wife will talk to him and I will too
•           My wife has talked about it, and I havetoo
•           My wife talked about it, and I did also
•           My wife is talking about it, and I am also

B.     NEGATIVE AGREEMENT (neither and either)

Hampir sama dengan penjelasan affirmative agreement di atas, neither dan either memiliki arti yang sama yaitu: tidak keduanya, atau kedua-duanya tidak. Untuk neither digunakan sebelum auxilliary verb, for example:

•          My roommate won’t go, and neitherwill I
•           My roommate hasn’t gone, and neitherhave I
•           My roommate doesn’t go, and neitherdo I
•           My roommate isn’t going, and neitheram I

            Dan untuk either digunakan setelah auxilliary verb dan kata “not”, for example:

•         My roommate won’t go, and I won’t(will not) either
•          My roommate hasn’t gone, and I haven’t either
•          My roommate doesn’t go, and I don’t either
•          My roommate isn’t going, and I am not either

Hal lain yang harus diperhatikan yaitu untuk pemakaian tobe dan auxilliaries setelah kata “..and..” harus sesuai dengan tobe dan auxilliaries yang digunakan di awal kalimat, seperti :

•           My wife is talking about it, and so am I
•           My wife hastalked about it, and I have too
•           My roommate won’tgo, and neither will I
•           My roommate doesn’tgo, and I don’t either

 C.     NEGATION

        Negation : Neither, Either, Hardly, Barely, Rarely, Seldom, etc

Negation adalah bentuk pernyataan negatif. Walaupun hal ini tidak begitu asing, namun di bawah ini akan kami jelaskan bentuk-bentuk negation, atau bentuk-bentuk bagaimana membentuk suatu pernyataan negatif.

Dengan Kata Kerja (VERB)

·         With a simple form:

Subject + (The negative of the auxiliary DO (or MODALS)) + simple form.

Examples:

•           I don’t  know
•           We didn’t see (Not I didn’t saw)
•           He couldn’t stay

·         With a past participle:

Subject + (The negative of the  auxiliaries BE or HAVE) + past participle.

Examples:

•          They haven’t  seen
•           She wasn’t driving
•           You hadn’t forgotten

·         Dengan Kata Benda (NOUN)

Jangan gunakan 2 kali Negation dalam 1 kalimat yang sama.

Examples :

•           I do not see no evidence. (SALAH)

·         Positive sentences:

No+ noun

Examples:

•          I see no evidence
•           No one is concerned

·         Negative sentences:

Examples:

•           I do not see any evidence
•           They are not concerned

Either and neither function in simple statement much like “so” and “”too” in affirmative sentences. However, either and neither are used to indicate negative agreement. The same rules for auxilaries, be and do, does or did apply.

Contoh Kalimat lainnya:

•           The manager isn’t too happy with the project, and neither is his assistant.
•           We can’t study in the library, and he can’t either.

•           My Brother won’t accept my father’s decision, and my sister won’t either.
•           He doesn’t know the answer, and neither does she.

Negative statement + and + [ S + negative auxiliary or be + either]

Negative statement + and + [ neither + positive auxiliary or be + S ]

•           I didn’t see Bella this morning. Edward didn’t see Bella this morning
•           I didn’t see Bella this morning and Edward didn’t either.
