Perbedaan “I/You/We/They” vs “He/She/It”

Ini adalah kesalahan paling sering yang dilakukan pemula.

  • I/You/We/They → verb tetap bentuk dasar.

  • He/She/It → verb tambah “-s” atau “-es”.

Contoh:

  • I play football.

  • She plays football.

  • They read a book.

  • He reads a book.

Catatan:

  • Jika kata kerja berakhiran -o, -ch, -sh, -ss, -x, -z, maka ditambah -es.
    Contoh: go → goes, watch → watches, wash → washes, fix → fixes.

  • Jika kata kerja berakhiran -y dan sebelum “y” ada konsonan, maka “y” berubah jadi “i” + es.
    Contoh: study → studies, carry → carries.


Kesalahan Umum Pemula

  1. Lupa pakai -s/-es untuk He/She/It

    • She eat rice. ❌

    • She eats rice. ✅

  2. Salah pakai verb untuk I/You/We/They

    • I eats rice. ❌

    • I eat rice. ✅

  3. Campur dengan Past Tense

    • Yesterday I eat rice. ❌

    • Yesterday I ate rice. ✅

  4. Lupa pakai auxiliary di kalimat negatif/tanya

    • She not eat rice. ❌

    • She does not eat rice. ✅

    • Do you likes coffee? ❌

    • Do you like coffee? ✅
