I'm Minsu Saya Minsu

/aɪm ˈmɪnsuː/

Bab tata bahasa pertama! Temui kata kerja be — I am, you are, he/she is — dan bentuk singkatnya sehari-hari (I'm, you're, she's). Bahasa Inggris selalu butuh be, bahkan di tempat banyak bahasa menghilangkannya. Belajar menyebut namamu dan memanggil seseorang teman. Fokus bunyi: /f/ dan /v/.

  1. Emma Hi! I'm Emma. Hai! Saya Emma.
  2. Minsu Hi, Emma! I... Minsu. Hai, Emma! Saya... Minsu.
  3. Emma "I'm Minsu." Say "I'm"! "I'm Minsu." Ucapkan "I'm"!
  4. Minsu I'm Minsu! Saya Minsu!

My Friend — Temanku

  1. Ms. Carter You're Emma, and you're Minsu. Kamu Emma, dan kamu Minsu.

The verb be: am / is / are Kata kerja be: am / is / are

The verb be links a subject to who or what it is. It changes with the subject: I am, you are, he/she/it is, we/they are. In everyday speech it contracts onto the subject: I'm, you're, he's, she's, it's, we're, they're. English ALWAYS needs be — you cannot say "I a student"; it must be "I am a student" / "I'm a student".

Kata kerja be menghubungkan subjek dengan siapa/apa dia. Ia berubah menurut subjek: I am, you are, he/she/it is, we/they are. Dalam percakapan sehari-hari ia menyatu dengan subjek: I'm, you're, he's, she's, it's, we're, they're. Bahasa Inggris SELALU butuh be — kamu tak bisa bilang "I a student"; harus "I am a student"/"I'm a student".

  • I'm Minsu. I am a student. /aɪm ˈmɪnsuː aɪ æm ə ˈstuːdnt/ Saya Minsu. Saya seorang murid.
  • You're my friend. /jʊr maɪ frend/ Kamu temanku.
  • She's a person. He's here. /ʃiːz ə ˈpɜːrsn hiːz hɪr/ Dia (perempuan) seorang manusia. Dia (laki-laki) di sini.
