VERBS ( KATA KERJA )
Created By : Drs. Hendrik
Afdan
Verbs atau Kata
kerja
adalah jenis Kata yang bertugas untuk menjelaskan tentang kegiatan-kegiatan
atau pekerjaan- pekerjaan yang dilakukan oleh
seseorang. Kata Kerja adalah Raja dalam
Bahasa Inggris ( Verb is the King in English ). Kita
dapat membentuk sebuah kalimat hanya dengan menggunakan sebuah kata kerja
tunggal. Contohnya : Stop !, Move !, Go
! dan seterusnya. Kita tidak bisa membuat sebuah kalimat
tunggal yang hanya terdiri dari satu kata dari jenis-jenis kata yang lain
selain Kata kerja. Itulah sebabnya pendapat para ahli bahwa Kata kerja adalah
raja menurut pendapat penulis itu benar sekali; bahkan penulis beranggapan
bahwa kata kerja adalah Jantung dari sebuah komunikasi.Tanpa kata kerja maka
kalimat tidak ada.
Dari
hasil penelitian penulis ketika mengajar Ketrampilan bahasa Inggris di SMP
Negeri 30 makassar; penulis menemukan bahwa sebuah kata kerja dapat membentuk
184.320 kalimat bahkan bisa melebihi jumlah tersebut. Tentu saja setiap orang akan berkata bahwa penulis
sudah gila, tapi bila anda mempelajari isi buku ini dengan saksama dan teliti
maka anda pasti akan percaya.
Dalam Bahasa Inggris ada 4 jenis kata
Kerja yaitu :
1.
Transitive
Verbs ( Kata Kerja Transitif )
Kata Kerja Transitif adalah
jenis kata kerja yang bila kita pakai untuk membentuk sebuah kalimat, maka ia
akan selalu menuntut hadirnya sebuah Objek atau Korban di belakangnya. Jenis kata
kerja ini bila diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Indonesia maka arti kata-katanya
kebanyakan berawalan “me…”.
