Cara Penggunaan Yet Dalam Bahasa Inggris

How to Use "Yet" 

Kata "yet" punya banyak kegunaan. Selain itu, maknanya itu bisa jauh antara satu dengan yang lain.

Coba kita lihat kapan aja kita bisa pakai "yet":

 

 

"Yet" in conversational English

Ini adalah bentuk "yet" yang paling umum. Mungkin kita udah familiar sama arti "yet" yang ini. Coba lihat kalimat di bawah ini:

 

A: "Have you ever been to Semarang?" [Udah pernah ke Semarang?]

B: "I haven't been to Bali yet." [Gue sampai sekarang belum pernah ke Bali]

 

Struktur: Di kalimat negatif, di akhir kalimat.

Artinya:  Belum.

 

Kalimat ini punya bentuk singkatnya, yaitu: "not yet". Bentuk singkat ini yang lebih sering kita dengar daripada bentuk panjang yang di atas. Jadi percakapan di atas bisa kita ganti menjadi:

 

A: "Have you ever been to Semarang?" [Udah pernah ke Semarang?]

B: "Not yet." [Belum.]

 

Exception: Bentuk "yet" juga bisa kita pakai di kalimat tanya, di akhir kalimat. Kalimat tanyanya juga positif. Coba lihat kalimat tanya di bawah ini:

 

C: "Have you seen Chris?" [Udah liat Chris atau belum?]

D: "Have you seen Chris yet?"[Udah liat Chris atau belum?]

 

Kalimat yang C dan D artinya sama saja.

 

By the way, perhatikan bahwa penggunaan "yet" hanya kita letakkan dalam present tenses.

 

 

"Yet" as a conjunction.

Kata "yet" juga bisa kita gunakan sebagai kata hubung. Coba lihat kalimat ini:

 

"Jim routinely exercises, yet he gets sick easily."

 

Kalo kita tebak artinya sama kayak "but", ya kan? Arti kalimat di atas adalah:

 

[Jim berolahraga rutin, tapi dia gampang sakit.]

 

That's right. "Yet" and "but" are synonymous. Sinonim total? Nah kalo soal ini ada dua pendapat. Pertama,"yet" dan "but" bener-bener sinonim total. Pendapat kedua, kalimat yang pakai kata "yet" lebih nampol atau mengagetkan dibandingkan dengan"but".

 

Sebagai catatan tambahan, kata "yet"boleh kita modif menjadi "yet...still".Contoh:

"Jim routinely exercises, yet he still gets sick easily."

 

 

"Yet" in formal English

Kalo dalam konteks formal, "yet" ada di kalimat positif, dan tidak kita letakkan di belakang kalimat. Kita letakkan "yet"setelah "verb" atau kata kerja. Konteksnya tetap di present tenses.

"We have yet to speak to our teacher." [Kita belum bicara ke guru kita.]

Perhatikan:

1. Kalo di konteks formal, kita tambahkan kata "to" setelah "yet".Sehingga bentuknya jadi: "yet + to".

2. Meskipun bentuk kalimatnya positif, maknanya tetap negatif, yaitu belum.

Contoh lainnya: "I have yet to know whether the gasoline price will increase or not." [Saya masih belum tahu apakah harga minyak akan naik.]

Subject-Verb agreement

Usage - Subject-Verb Agreement

Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural).  Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.

In present tenses, nouns and verbs form plurals in opposite ways:  

                        nouns ADD an s to the singular form,

                                                    BUT

                        verbs REMOVE an s from the singular form.

                

Here are nine subject-verb agreement rules.

1.  A phrase or clause between subject and verb does not change the number of the subject.

                Examples:

                       

          

2.  Indefinite pronouns as subjects

   Singular indefinite pronoun subjectstake singular verbs.

 

   

            

   Plural indefinite pronoun subjects take plural verbs.

   PLURAL:  several, few, both, many

                      

                

   Some indefinite pronouns may be either singular or plural: with uncountable, use singular; with countable, use plural.

   EITHER SINGULAR OR PLURAL:  some, any, none, all, most

                                

                Sugar is uncountable; therefore, the sentence has a singular verb.

                

                                

                Marbles are countable; therefore, the sentence has a plural verb.

                           

          

3.  Compound subjects joined by and are always plural.

                     

             

4.  With compound subjects joined by or/nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it.

                

          In the above example, the plural verb are agrees with the nearer subject actors.

 

                

            In this example, the singular verb isagrees with the nearer subject director.

                

5.  Inverted Subjects must agree with the verb.   

                

                

          

6.  Collective Nouns (group, jury, crowd, team, etc.) may be singular or plural, depending on meaning.

                

            In this example, the jury is acting as one unit; therefore, the verb is singular.

       

                

            In this example, the jury members are acting as twelve individuals; therefore, the verb is plural.

       

                                  

7.  Titles of single entities (books, organizations, countries, etc.) are always singular.

                

      

8.  Plural form subjects

Plural form subjects with a singular meaning take a singular verb. (e.g. news, measles, mumps, physics, etc.)

                

             

Plural form subjects with singular or plural meaning take a singular or plural verb, depending on meaning.  (e.g. politics, economics, etc.)

                

    In this example, politics is a single topic; therefore, the sentence has a singular verb.

                

    In this example, politics refers to the many aspects of the situation; therefore, the sentence has a plural verb.

          

Plural form subjects with a plural meaning take a plural verb. (e.g. scissors, trousers)

                

                                     

            Note:  In this example, the subject of the sentence is pair; therefore, the verb must agree with it.  (Because scissors is the object of the preposition, scissorsdoes not affect the number of the verb.)

                

9.  With subject and subjective complement of different number, the verb always agrees with the subject.

                

                

 

10-A. With one of those ________ who, use a plural verb.

     

     The above example implies that others besides Hannah like to read comic books.  Therefore, the plural verb is the correct form to use. 

 

10-B.  With the only one of those ________who, use a singular verb.

 

     The above example implies that no one else except for Hannah likes to read comic books.  Therefore, the singular verb is the correct for to use.

                   

11-A.  With the number of _______, use a singular verb.
                             

 

11-B.  With a number of _______, use a plural verb.
              

 

12.  With every ______ and many a ________, use a singular verb.

                  

                

Cara Mengakhiri Persentasi Bukan Dengan "Thank You"

Delete the "Thank you!" slide - how to end your presentation

The most important sections of your presentation are the beginning and ending. The beginning is when you will grab the attention of the audience and hopefully persuade them you are worth listening to for the next 20 minutes, and the ending will be where you summarise your main points and key message in such a way that it will be easier for them to remember and take home. 

In this post I would like to talk about the five best practices for ending your talk confidently and with impact. 

1. Repeat something from the opening.

When you begin your closing section (your summary or conclusions), it’s a good idea to repeat or link to an idea from the opening of your talk.  One great way to do this is to begin your talk with the first half of a relevant personal story and end your talk with the second half. Or, if you talk about a problem in a specific context at the beginning, refer back to that context at the beginning of your closing. Or, if you open with an impactful picture, show that image again at the end. Doing this will signal to the audience that you are coming to the end of your talk. It completes the circle - you end up back where you started. This is the classic structure of a story that recounts a journey - the hero usually ends up back he started at the end of the movie. Doing this will give a sense of harmony and completeness to your talk. 

2. Show how each of your main points support your overall argument. 

At the beginning of your talk, it’s important to map out the main ideas you will talk about. An audience that doesn’t know the stages of the journey you are about to take them on will be less at ease than one that knows what lies ahead. At the end of your talk take them back over what you’ve spoken about but don’t just list the different ideas you developed, show how they are related and how they support your main argument. 

3. Don’t show a Thank-You slide. 

I see so many presenters that show a slide that says “Thank you!” at the end of their talk. Some even include smiley faces or happy photos to make the slide more visual. Others finish with a slide that says “Questions?”. Neither of these slides is a good idea and neither helps the audience in any way (every slide you show should help the audience understand what you are saying). “Thank you” should come from your mouth with a smile and with eye contact, putting it on a slide cheapens the sentiment and looks naff. When my wife gives me a birthday present I don’t make her a powerpoint to say thank you! The last slide you show, the one that should stay up until every last audience member has left the room, is your summary slide. A summary slide shows all the main points you have made, along with your main argument and your call to action. It should also show your name and contact details. This slide is the only slide you use that can contain a lot of text, you’ll probably need to use bullet points to separate the text (this is the only slide you use that should have bullet-points!). Having all this information visible during the questions and answer (Q&A) session will help the audience think of questions to ask you. It will be interesting reading for them while you are answering questions they’re not interested in. And many people will take photos of this slide with their phone to take home as a summary of your talk and to have your contact details. 

4. I know you’re tired, but finish with energy and enthusiasm. 

It’s only natural that you’ll feel tired when you get to the end of your talk. The adrenaline that was racing through your body at the beginning has now worn off, your voice is tired and you’d love to sit down and have a beer. But you’re only half way there. Now comes the Q&A session, probably the most important element of a presentation, as it is this part that differentiates your talk from a video of you talking (you can’t ask questions to a video). Its crucial that the audience feels that you are enthusiastic and open for questions. What happens if no one has any questions? First of all, some people surely do want to ask you something, but no one wants to be the first to ask a question. You might need to break the ice and get the ball rolling. A good way to do this is for you yourself to ask a question to the audience. Make it an open, non-threatening question. Ask the most confident looking person in the room for their opinion, or get them to discuss the question with the person sitting beside them (this gives them a chance to rehearse their answer before speaking in front of everyone and also gives people a chance to network). 

5. Your presentation doesn’t end with questions and answers. 

When the Q&A session is over, stand up, get their attention and close the presentation. This isn’t always possible to do (e.g. At academic conferences where Q&A sometimes happens after every three presentations) but if you can, do it. In your closing give your main argument again, your call to action and deal with any doubts or criticisms that out in the Q&A. So, a closing is more or less a condensed version of your conclusions and an improvised summary of the Q&A. It’s important that the audience goes home with an image of you confidently presenting your main argument, and not with a memory of a Q&A that may or may not have gone well or may have been dominated by someone other than you.
