suara hati

Apakah kalian pernah merasakan direndahkan, dianggap sebagai parasit, dipandang sebelah mata atau bahkan dianggap tidak ada ??

Mungkin sebagian dari kalian yang membaca tulisan ini pernah merasakan salah satu hal dari pertanyaan tadi. Lalu apa yang kalian lakukan kekita merasakan hal itu?? Lari dari kenyataan atau menghadapinya dengan kuat walaupun terasa sangat sakit? Apapun pilihan kalian mungkin itulah yang terbaik menurut kalian karena setiap orang pasti mempunyai alasan untuk melakukan sesuatu....

Aku pun punya alasan kenapa aku menanyakan hal ini pada orang-orang yang membaca tulisan yang mungkin bisa dibilang hanya coretan kecil bagi sebagian orang, tapi bagiku tidak. Alasan ku mengungkapkan hal ini adalah karena aku pernah merasakan hal itu semua. Saat aku merasakan itu semua, ingin sekali rasanya aku hilang di antara kerumunan orang-orang. Tapi pada akhirnya aku berpikir kenapa aku harus berpikir seperti itu. Yang sekarang ku lakukan adalah diam dalam keheningan dan bertahan dalam kekuatan yang baru aku temukan dalam diriku. Tapi aku ta mau menganggap kekuatan ku adalah suatu hal yang takan bisa membuatku jatuh terkulai karena aku pernah mengalami kehampaan dalam kekuatanku.

Aku masih mencari apa yang ingin ku dapat dan yang ku lakukan sekarang adalah berjalan di atas rel yang ta pernah temukan akhir dari kehidupan.....

GRAMMAR

Characteristics of adjective

Most adjectives can be both attributive and predicative, but some are either attributive only or predicative only.

Two other features usually apply to adjectives:

1. Most can be pre-modified by the intensifier ‘very’

Example: - Mutia Adnina is a very diligent student.

2. Most can take comparative and superlative forms. The comparison may be by means of inflections

Example: - Nadia Syafira is more active than Tita.

- Fadila Fahira is the most creative student I know.

Syntactic functions of adjectives

The major syntactic functions of adjectives are attributive and predicative

Adjective are attributive when they pre-modify nouns which appear between the determiner and the head of the noun phrase.

Example: - English is an important language.

- Indonesia is a rich country.

Adjectives are predicative when they function as:

1. Subjective complement

- Studying grammar is interesting.

- Bali is popular

2. Objective complement

- She makes her husband happy.

- I want to make everyone satisfied.

Note: The adjective functioning as objective complement often expresses the result of the process denoted by the verb.

Characteristics of the adverb

The most common characteristic of the adverb is morphological: the majority of adverbs have the derivational suffix –ly.

There are two types of syntactic function that characterize adverbs:

1. Adverbial

2. Modifier of adjective and adverb

Adverb as adverbial

An adverb may function as adverbial, a constituent distinct from subject, verb, object, and complement. Three classes of adverbial are adjucnts, disjuncts, and conjuncts.

Adjuncts are integrated within the structure of the clause to at least some extent.

Examples: - They are waiting outside.

- I can now understand English.

- He teaches English clearly.

DISJUNCT AND CONJUNCT

DISJUNCTS AND CONJUNCTS, on the other hand, are not integrated within the clause. Semantically, DISJUNCTS express an evaluation of what is being said either with respect to the form of the communication or to its content.

Examples:

- Frankly, I am very busy right now.

- Fortunately, I passed in exam.

- They are probably in the classroom now.

Semantically, CONJUNCTS connective function. They indicate the connection between what is being said and what was said before.

Examples:

- If they open the door, then I’m leaving.

- We have complained several times about the noise and yet he does nothing about it.

- I have not looked into his qualification. He seems very intelligent, though.

Adverb as modifier

  1. Modifier of adjective

An adverb may pre-modify an adjective.

Example:

- That was a very funny film.

- It is extremely good of you to study English

- Aditya Pratama has a really handsome face.

2. Modifier of adverb

An adverb may pre-modify another adverb, and function as intensifier.

Example:

- They smoke very heavily.

- She studies English so diligently.

Modifier of Prepositional phrase

Few adverbs that pre-modify particles in phrasal verbs also pre-modify prepositions or prepositional phrases.

Example:

- His parents are dead against the trip.

- The nail went right through the wall.

Modifier of determiner, pre-determiner, and post-determiner

Intensifying adverbs can pre-modify indefinite pronouns, pre-determiners, and cardinal numerals.

Example:

- Nearly everybody came to our party.

- Over two hundred deaths were reported
