I have two brothers Saya punya dua saudara laki-laki

/aɪ hæv tuː ˈbrʌðərz/

Pelajari angka 11 sampai 100 (eleven~hundred) dan akhiran jamak -s. Banyak bahasa tidak wajib menandai jamak, jadi pelajar sering melewatkan -s. Bahasa Inggris mewajibkan kata benda setelah angka berbentuk jamak: bukan two brother, melainkan two brothers. Ada satu bentuk tak beraturan: child → children. Pojok pelafalan melatih tiga bunyi -s jamak (/s/, /z/, /ɪz/) — books /s/, brothers /z/, houses /ɪz/.

Two Brothers — Dua Saudara Laki-Laki

  1. Emma Minsu, do you have brothers? Minsu, apakah kamu punya saudara laki-laki?
  2. Minsu Yes! I have two brother. Ya! Saya punya dua saudara laki-laki. (kesalahan: setelah angka pakai jamak — brothers)
  3. Emma Two brothers — with an -s. How old are they? "Two brothers" — dengan -s. Berapa umur mereka?
  4. Minsu My brothers are twelve and fifteen. Saudara laki-laki saya berumur dua belas dan lima belas tahun.

One Hundred Students — Seratus Murid

  1. Jack Minsu, are these your friends? Minsu, apakah mereka ini temanmu?
  2. Minsu Yes. I have twenty friend here. Ya. Saya punya dua puluh teman di sini. (kesalahan: jamak — friends)
  3. Jack Twenty friends! And the teachers? Dua puluh teman! Lalu para gurunya?
  4. Minsu Three teachers, and one hundred students! Tiga guru, dan seratus murid!

Plural nouns: -s Kata benda jamak: -s

English marks more than one with -s on the noun: one brother → two brothers, one book → three books. After a number bigger than one, the noun is always plural — you cannot say "two brother". Most nouns just add -s; one common irregular is child → children. Many languages do not mark plural at all, so it is easy to forget the -s — but in English, after a number it is not optional.

Bahasa Inggris menandai "lebih dari satu" dengan -s pada kata benda: one brother → two brothers, one book → three books. Setelah angka lebih dari satu, kata benda selalu jamak — tidak bisa berkata "two brother". Kebanyakan hanya menambah -s; satu bentuk tak beraturan yang umum adalah child → children. Banyak bahasa tidak menandai jamak sehingga -s mudah terlupa, tapi dalam bahasa Inggris, setelah angka -s bukan pilihan.

  • I have two brothers. /aɪ hæv tuː ˈbrʌðərz/ Saya punya dua saudara laki-laki.
  • She has three friends. /ʃiː hæz θriː frendz/ Dia punya tiga teman.
  • They have five books. /ðeɪ hæv faɪv bʊks/ Mereka punya lima buku.
  • I have one child. They have two children. (irregular) /aɪ hæv wʌn tʃaɪld ðeɪ hæv tuː ˈtʃɪldrən/ Saya punya satu anak. Mereka punya dua anak. (tak beraturan)
