Question Tag

Pengertian Question Tag

Question tag adalah pertanyaan pendek yang ditambahkan di akhir pernyataan (declarative sentence) untuk menanyakan informasi atau meminta persetujuan. Seperti idiom (ungkapan bahasa Inggris), question tag merupakan bagian yang sering digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari seorang native speaker. Walaupun gramar, pronounciation, dan intonation-nya baik, seseorang dapat mudah dikenali bukan sebagai native speaker jika tidak menggunakan question tag.

Kegunaan Question Tag

Question tag memiliki dua kegunaan utama yaitu untuk memberikan informasi yang diharapkan dan untuk menanyakan informasi yang tidak diharapkan. Kedua kegunaan ini dapat dibedakan berdasarkan intonasi pengucapan yang digunakan oleh pembicara – jika intonasi merendah artinya pertanyaan tersebut menanyakan informasi yang diharapkan – jika intonasi meninggi artinya benar-benar menyanakan sebuah pertanyaan.

Rumus Question Tag
Ada dua rumus yang dapat anda gunakan untuk menyusun question tag, ini bukan pilihan tapi anda harus menyesuaikan penggunaannya berdasarkan bentuk kalimat/pernyataan yang mendahului question tag. Jika bentuk kalimatnya negatif, maka gunakan rumus positif tag (untuk menyusun positif tag), sebaliknya jika kalimatnya positif maka gunakan rumus negatif tag (untuk menyusun negatif tag), jadi harus berkebalikan seperti itu. Nah, berikut ini rumusnya:

Positif tag = Auxiliary Verb + Pronoun

Negatif tag = Auxiliary Verb + Not + Pronoun

Yang dimaksud dengan auxiliary verb ini banyak sekali ya, bisa primary auxiliary verb seperti is, am, are, was, were, do, does, did, done, have, has, had, atau juga bisa berupa modal auxiliary verb seperti can, must, will, shall, may, would, dan sebagainya.

Contoh Question Tag :

They mustn't come early, must they?	Mereka tidak harus dating lebih awal kan?
Jack is from Spain, isn't he?	Jack dari spanyol ya?
We'd never have known, would we?	Kita tidak akan pernah tahu, bukan?
He was the best in the class, wasn't he?	Dia yang terbaik di kelas, iya kan?
He can hardly love him after all that, can he?	Dia tidak bisa mencintainya setelah semua itu kan?

Affix

afiks berasal dari kata imbuhan + es. Pengertian Affixes   Affix berarti kata berimbuhan.  Kata berimbuhan ialah kata - kata dasar yang diberi imbuhan di depan atau di belakang.

Jenis  Affix

Affix yang terletak sebelum root( bentuk dasar suatu kata) disebut Prefix sedangkan setelah root disebut Suffix, sedangkan didalam root disebut infix.

1. Prefix

Prefixes adalah awalan yang diletakkan pada sebuah kata untuk menciptakan rangkaian kata baru dengan arti yang berbeda untuk memberikan informasi. Setiap prefix memiliki arti yang berbeda, ketika prefix ditambahkan pada sebuah akar kata, prefix merubah arti kata tersebut menjadi kata baru yang telah ditambahkan.

Contoh :

Prefix	Arti dari Prefix	Kata yang dibentuk
Re	Melakukan lagi	Replay, resend, replace
Hyper	Berlebihan	Hyperactive, hypersensitive
Un	Tidak	Unhappy, unsure, unclear
Tri	Tiga	Tricycle, triangle
Pre	Sebelum	Prewedding, prepay, predate
Miss	Salah	Misspell, misunderstand
Sub	Bawah	Subway, substandard
Im	Tidak	Impatient, immature
Bi	Dua	Bilingual, biweekly
Multi	Banyak/aneka	Multitalented, multicultural

Contoh kalimat

1. The government rebuild a statue of local hero which was broken after the earthquake.
   (Pemerintah membangun ulang/kembali patung pahlawan daerah yang rusak karena gempa bumi.)
2. They have understood about a new regulation in the office.
   (Mereka sudah paham tentang peraturan baru di kantor.)
3. I think that nothing is impossible for us to build an empire.
   (Saya piker tidak ada yang tidak mngkin bagi kita untuk membangun sebuah kerajaan.)

2. Suffix
Pada dasarnya yang dimaksud dengan suffix adalah suatu huruf atau sekumpulan huruf yang diletakkan pada akhir suatu kata atau root (base form suatu kata), tujuannya adalah untuk mengubah arti dari kata tertentu, hal ini berarti penggunaan suffix akan menciptakan kata baru dengan makna dan arti yang berbeda dari kata dasarnya. Sebagai contoh, kata “Avoid” jika ditambahkan suffix ‘able” maka akan menjadi “Avoidable”. Contoh lain, Friend + ship = friendship, Happy + ness= Happyness, slow + ly= slowly, dan masih banyak lagi contoh suffix yang akan saya berikan pada bagian bawah.

Tambahan-tambahan yang diletakkan pada akhir kata seperti contoh diataslah yang dimaksud dengan suffix itu, dan jumlahnya ini sangat banyak. Selain itu, suffix juga dibedakan menjadi dua tipe, yaitu derivational suffix dan juga inflectional suffix. Berikut penjelasan dari masing-masing tipe tersebut.

Derivational Suffix
Derivational suffix merupakan tipe suffix yang dapat membentuk kata turunan dari kata dasarnya, suffix ini juga akan merubah makna kata dasarnya secara drastis.

Contoh derivational suffix

Derivational Suffix	Example
Noun Suffixes
-dom	freedom, stardom, boredom
-er, -or	reader, creator, interpreter, inventor, collaborator, teacher
-ism	Judaism, scepticism, escapism
Verb Suffixes
-ate	mediate, collaborate, create
-ify, -fy	justify, simplify, magnify, satisfy
-ise, -ize	publicise, synthesise, hypnotise
Adjective Suffixes
-esque	picturesque, burlesque, grotesque
-ful	handful, playful, hopeful, skilful
-ic, -ical	psychological, hypocritical, methodical, nonsensical, musical
Adverb Suffixes
-ly	softly, slowly, happily, crazily, madly
