English Dialogue With Passive Voice: Meeting Friends At The Airport

J
im and Betty have come to the airport to meet their friends, Nancy and Tom, who are returning from a holiday in Indonesia. The plane has just arrived.
Betty:Oh, Jim, isn't it exciting!
Jim:Yes, it is. Can you see Nancy and Tom?
Betty:No, not yet.
Jim:Look, Betty, the stairs are being pushed towards the plane!
Betty:Yes, they're being put near the door of the plane. Oh, now the door is being opened. Oh, another door is being opened! What is that door for?
Jim:The passengers' luggage is taken out of that door.
Betty:I see. Oh, now the passengers are being allowed to come out of the plane! But I can't see Nancy and Tom yet.
Jim:Never mind. Perhaps they've been sitting at the back of the plane. They're probably being delayed by all the other passengers in front of them.
Betty:Look behind you, Jim! What a lot of people are waving handkerchiefs! They're recognising their friends.
Jim:My handkerchief is ready. I'll wave it as soon as I see Nancy and Tom.
Betty:Oh bother! Mine is in my bag. Jim, there's Nancy.
Jim:And there's Tom!
Betty:They haven't seen us yet.
Jim:I suppose our handkerchiefs can't be seen among all these other ones.
Betty:Oh, Jim, the passengers aren't being allowed to come and say "hello" to their friends. They're being taken into that room over there!
Jim:Yes, Betty. That's the Customs room. Their luggage must be examined by the Customs officials before they're allowed to talk to their friends.
Betty:Look, Nancy has seen us! She's waving to us.
Jim:So is Tom.
Betty:Hello, Nancy!
Jim:Tom! Hello!
Betty:Oh, we can't be heard - there's too much noise! How long before we'll be able to talk to them?
Jim:Oh, people are never kept very long by the Customs officials. After their luggage is examined, they'll be able to talk to us.
Betty:But while their luggage is being examined, we aren't allowed to go into the Customs room.
Jim:No, nobody is allowed to go into the Customs room to speak to the passengers. Let's go and wait near the door.
Betty:Oh yes! I can hardly wait to be told all about their holiday in Indonesia.

t's Saturday evening. Jim and Betty have been working in the garden all day. They're sitting in the living room after dinner.
Jim:I've worked so hard today, Betty!
Betty:So have I, Jim! I haven't even read this morning's paper.
Jim:Neither have I! Where is it?
Betty:Oh, I think it's on top of refrigerator in the kitchen. Would you mind getting it, Jim? I'm too tired to move.
Jim:I don't really want to read it.
Betty:Well, neither do I. You know, my back is quite sore.
Jim:So is mine. I planted a lot of young plants this afternoon.
Betty:I didn't stop working all the afternoon.
Jim:Neither did I. And by three o'clock my back was aching!
Betty:So was mine. I wasn't able to stand up straight for quite a while afterwards.
Jim:Neither was I. My whole body feels sore.
Betty:So does mine. I shan't plant any more young plants for a while.
Jim:Neither shall I. I'd like to rest for hours now.
Betty:Jim, you shouldn't work so hard in the garden in future.
Jim:Neither should you. But we both like to have flowers in the house. At any rate, I like to see flowers in the house.
Betty:Oh, so do I, Jim. But we can't afford to buy flowers all the time. ... Oh, well, perhaps we'll feel better tomorrow.
Jim:Perhaps! What are we going to do tomorrow, Betty?

Betty:Yes, and so has Yati. But I don't mind how often I go there.
Jim:Neither do I. It's a very pleasant place, with all those lovely trees.
Betty:Oh, I'm looking forward to it! My back feels better already.
Jim:So does mine. I'll go and phone Hadi immediately.
Betty:And when you've phoned Hadi, I'll phone Yati. Tell Hadi we'll call for him at half past nine tomorrow morning.

H

Hadi:Hello, Margaret!
Margaret:Oh, hello, Hadi.
Hadi:Won't you sit down here?
Margaret:Certainly.
What are you doing?
Hadi:Just drinking coffee and thinking.
Margaret:Well, now you can drink coffee and talk! I want to be told all the news!
Hadi:News! What news!
Margaret:About Jim and Betty's friends, the Fosters - Tom and Nancy. They've just come back from Indonesia, haven't they?
Hadi:Oh, yes, they arrived home last week. I was invited to Jim and Betty's place a few days ago, and Tom and Nancy were there too.
Margaret:And did they tell you all about their trip? What did they do? Where did they go?What interested them the most? Did they enjoy themselves?
Hadi:Yes, I think they enjoyed their holiday very much. They went to Jakarta first - by plane from Sydney. They have some friends in Jakarta, and so they were invited to a lot of places, and they were taken on several visits.
Margaret:Lucky people!
Hadi:After they'd been in Jakarta for a few days, a visit to Bandung was arranged for them. They were taken there by car. They were delighted by the scenery in Bandung.
Margaret:Yes, it must be a beautiful place.
Hadi:Ah, you'll go there one day, Margaret!
Margaret:Mm! Did Nancy and Tom speak Indonesian while they were there?
Hadi:A little. They knew only a few words of Indonesian - but they practiced them whenever possible! They met some Indonesian people who could speak English to them.
Margaret:Really?
Hadi:Yes, English is spoken by quite a lot of people in Indonesia now! One day Nancy and Tom were invited to a meeting of a Youth Club. They were asked to give a speech.
Margaret:In English?
Hadi:Yes. And after the speech had been given, they were asked a lot of questions about Australia. They found it very interesting.
Margaret:H'm.
Hadi:Another day, they went to Borobudur.
Margaret:Where?
Hadi:Borobudur. Haven't you heard of it?
Margaret:I'm not sure, Hadi. Where is it?
Hadi:It's in Central Java. It's an old Buddhist temple. It was built - oh, a long time ago.
Margaret:How long ago?
Hadi:I don't know, Margaret - I'm not a history student!
Margaret:Neither am I.
Hadi:I don't think the date is known exactly, but it must have been built - oh, between the eighth and ninth centuries. It was designed very beautifully.
Margaret:And it's a tourist attraction, is it?
Hadi:Yes. If you come to the party next week, you'll be shown some pictures of it. Tom and Nancy are bringing some photos that were taken in Indonesia.
Margaret:Good! I love being shown photos! What else did Tom and Nancy do?
Hadi:Well, they didn't have much time to go to a lot of places - it was only a very short holiday - but they had a quick visit to Bali. Then they came back to Jakarta, and caught the plane home to Sydney.
Margaret:And they were met at the airport by Betty and Jim.
Hadi:Yes. And when Betty and Jim heard all about their holiday, they decided that they must go to Indonesia for a holiday themselves!

Present Continuous Tense: Bentuk, Penggunaan, & Latihan Soal

Latihan soal Present Continuous Tense
P

Struktur dan bentuk Present Continuous tense adalah sbb:
(+) Subject + auxiliary verb (be) + main verb (verb + ing)
(?) Auxiliary verb (be) + subject + main verb (verb + ing)?
(-) Subject + auxiliary verb (be) not + main verb (verb + ing)

Lihatlah contoh-contoh kalimat Present continuous tense di bawah ini:

main verb

Youare notstudyingEnglish.
Aniis notreadinga magazine.
The studentsare notdoinga test.
II. Bagaimana penggunaan Present Continuous Tense?
Present Continuous Tense digunakan untuk:
  • Membicarakan kegiatan yang sedang berlangsung atau sedang dilakukan sekarang / pada saat ini juga, biasanya dengan keterangan waktu; now, at the moment, at present. Contoh:
    • You are studying how to use the present continuous tense.
    • Right now you are looking at this screen.
    • You are reading these example sentences.
  • Membicarakan kegiatan di masa sekarang yang bersifat sementara, bukan merupakan kebiasaan dan tidak bersifat permanen, biasanya dengan keterangan waktu; at this time, temporarily, for the time being. Contoh:
    • The government is trying to stop the spread of Covid-19.
    • Experts are working hard to develop a vaccine for Covid-19.
    • He is living with his sister until he finds a boarding house.
  • Membicarakan kegiatan yang sudah direncanakan / dipersiapkan dan akan segera dilakukan di waktu yang akan datang, dan harus disertai dengan keterangan waktu (adverbs of time), seperti; this evening, tomorrow, next week, in July, atau paling tidak waktu kegiatan sudah dipahami / diketahui. Contoh:

    • I am seeing my dentist tomorrow. We have made an appointment.
    • We are going to the beach this weekend.
  • Digunakan dengan always, umumnya dalam kalimat positif, untuk membicarakan suatu kebiasaan, disengaja atau tidak disengaja, yang dianggap mengganggu dan menjengkelkan karena terjadi berulang kali. Contoh:
    • She is always asking me questions.
    • Rama is always complaining about his job.
    • Oh no. You are always losing your keys.
    Dalam penggunaan ini, always + present continuous tense berbeda dengan always + simple present tense yang membicarakan rutinitas biasa.
III. Bagaimana penulisan ejaan dalam Present Continuous tense?
Present Continuous tense disusun dengan menggunakan kata kerja bentuk "ing" (verb -ing), caranya dengan menambahkan akhiran "ing" pada kata kerja dasar. Ada beberapa aturan dalam pembentukan verb-ing, sebagai berikut:
  • Tidak ada perubahan pada kata kerja dasar jika huruf terakhir berupa konsonan yang pengucapannya tidak mendapat penekanan.
    Contoh: walk > walking, work > working, stand > standing, blow > blowing, rain > raining, steer > steering, play > playing, open > opening, dll.
  • Menggandakan huruf terakhir jika huruf terakhir berupa konsonan yang pengucapannya mendapat penekanan.
    Contoh: stop > stopping, run > running, begin > beginning, drop > dropping, bid > bidding, get > getting, dll.
  • Jika kata kerja dasar berakhiran "ie", gantilah "ie" dengan "y".
    Contoh: lie > lying, die > dying, tie > tying, dll.
  • Jika kata kerja dasar berakhiran dengan huruf vokal (vowel) "e", hilangkan "e".
    Contoh: come > coming, make > making, take > taking, choose > choosing, give > giving, write > writing, dll.

3. Bagaimana dan kapan kita menggunakan Simple Past tense?

Seperti yang telah disebutkan di atas, Simple Past tense adalah bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan untuk kegiatan atau kejadian di waktu lampau. Karena itu, Simple Past tense hampir selalu digunakan dalam teks recount tentang pengalaman seseorang atau biografi seorang tokoh, narrative, seperti dongeng, legenda, dan cerita rakyat, serta teks berita (news item).

Secara lebih spesifik, Simple Past tense digunakan untuk:

  • Membicarakan suatu keadaan, kejadian atau kegiatan di waktu lampau dan waktu kejadiannya disebutkan atau sudah diketahui. Contoh:
    • The coronavirus first surfaced in a Chinese seafood and poultry market in Wuhan at the end of 2019.
    • On January 11 2020, Chinese state media reported the first known death from an illness caused by the virus.
    • Wage Rudolf Supratman, the writer of "Indonesia Raya" national anthem, was born on March 9, 1903 in Somongari, Purworejo, Central Java.
  • Membicarakan suatu keadaan, kejadian atau kegiatan yang sudah jelas terjadi di waktu lampau meskipun waktu kejadian tidak disebutkan secara spesifik. Contoh:
    • I graduated from a vocational high school in Probolinggo.
    • She worked in that factory for two years. (but she does not work there now.)
    • I bought this book in a book market in Malang.
  • Membicarakan suatu keadaan, kejadian atau kegiatan yang terjadi di suatu periode waktu lampau yang tidak mungkin akan terjadi lagi. Contoh:
    • Ismail Marzuki wrote at least 22 songs in his life.
    • My father took me to the zoo twice when I was a child.
    • It rained three times last week.
    Di sinilah letak perbedaan Simple Past dengan Present Perfect tense.

    Peristiwa-peristiwa lampau dalam kalimat contoh di atas tidak mungkin akan terjadi lagi karena jangka waktunya sudah berakhir. Jika jangka waktu masih belum berakhir dan masih ada kemungkinan untuk terjadi lagi, kita harus menggunakan bentuk Present Perfect tense.

  • Menanyakan kapan waktu terjadinya suatu keadaan, kejadian, atau kegiatan di waktu lampau. Contoh:
    • When did you arrive from Surabaya?
    • When did you meet her?
    • What time did you leave the office last night?
  • Dengan adverbs of frequency seperti always, usually, often, sometimes, seldom, rarely, never, Simple Past digunakan untuk membicarakan kebiasaan di masa lampau, sama seperti penggunaan used to untuk membicarakan kebiasaan lampau. Contoh:
    • My father always picked me up from school.
    • They never came late.
    • He was always busy in the morning.
  • Membuat kalimat conditional (conditional sentence) type 2. Contoh:
    • If you took a closer look, you would be able to see the difference between these two pictures.
    • If they weren't so noisy, we would be able to concentrate.
    • It would not be so cold if you closed that window.

Daftar Irregular Verbs Lengkap Dengan Artinya

Daftar Irregular Verbs Lengkap

D
alam bahasa Inggris, irregular verb adalah kata kerja yang bentuk lampaunya (past tense) tidak dibentuk dengan cara biasa yaitu menambahkan akhiran -ed. Jadi untuk bentuk Past Simple (verb 2) dan Past Participle (verb 3), irregular verb tidak harus selalu berakhiran -d, -ed, atau -ied, karena itu disebut Irregular verb, atau kata kerja tidak beraturan.

Pengetahuan tentang irregular verb atau kata kerja tidak beraturan dalam bahasa Inggris sangatlah penting jika kita ingin mengikuti aturan tata bahasa Inggris secara benar terutama saat kita berbicara tentang masa lampau (past tense), menggunakan kalimat pasif (passive voice), atau kalimat conditional. Apalagi beberapa kata kerja bahasa Inggris yang paling sering digunakan kebetulan adalah irregular verbs, seperti; come, do, go, get, make, say, see, think, take, know.

English Dialogue With Passive Voice: The Invitation

Jim:Betty, something interesting happened this afternoon.
Betty:This is such an interesting article in the paper, Jim.
Jim:Now, Betty! There's something I want to tell you.
Betty:Jim! You know I don't like being disturbed while I'm reading the paper.
Jim:But Betty, Hadi has invited us to a party at the University!
Betty:At the University! Why didn't you tell me?
Jim:I've been trying to tell you, but you didn't want to be disturbed.
Betty:Well, I want to be told all about it. Who invited us?
Jim:Hadi phoned me this afternoon and invited us.
Betty:What sort of party will it be?
Jim:Hadi's professor is giving a farewell party for him. The professor told him that some of his best friends could be invited too.
Betty:And Hadi thought of us! I'm very happy to be invited to the party. and I'm very proud of being included among Hadi's best friends!
Jim:Well, I hope to be introduced to Hadi's professor. I've heard so much about him.
Betty:Jim! What shall I wear?
Jim:Oh, you have plenty of beautiful clothes. Of course, my best suit should be dry cleaned.
Betty:Jim, your best suit needn't be dry cleaned. It looks quite all right. But I'll need a new dress for the party. I wouldn't like to be seen at the party in an old dress.
Jim:Well, I know you like being invited to parties, and I know you enjoy being admired when you're wearing new clothes, but the expense must be thought of!
Betty:Oh, the money for a new dress could be saved if you gave up smoking for a few weeks!
Jim:Now, Betty, let's be sensible. You have that wonderful blue dress that you wore to Nancy's party. Hadi and Yati weren't at that party, so they haven't seen it yet. Nobody at Hadi's party will have seen that dress, so you'll be able to wear that.
Betty:I suppose you're right, Jim. But I'll need a new bag - and some new shoes!
