Tugas Softskill Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2 (gerund)

In English, the gerund is identical in form to the present participle (ending in -ing) and can behave as a verb within a clause (so that it may be modified by an adverb or have an object), but the clause as a whole (sometimes consisting of only one word, the gerund itself) acts as a noun within the larger sentence. For example: Eating this cake is easy.

In “Eating this cake is easy,” “eating this cake,” although traditionally known as a phrase, is referred to as a non-finite clause in modern linguistics. “Eating” is the verb in the clause, while “this cake” is the object of the verb. “Eating this cake” acts as a noun phrase within the sentence as a whole, though; the subject of the sentence is the non-finite clause, specifically eating.

Other examples of the gerund:

• I like swimming. (direct object)
• Swimming is fun. (subject)

Gerund clauses:

• She is considering having a holiday.
• Do you feel like going out?
• I can’t help falling in love with you.
• I can’t stand not seeing you.

Not all nouns that are identical in form to the present participle are gerunds.^[2] The formal distinction is that a gerund is a verbal noun – a noun derived from a verb that retains verb characteristics, that functions simultaneously as a noun and a verb, while other nouns in the form of the present participle (ending in -ing) are deverbal nouns, which function as common nouns, not as verbs at all. Compare:

• I like fencing. (gerund, an activity, could be replaced with “to fence”)
• The white fencing adds to the character of the neighborhood. (deverbal, could be replaced with an object such as “bench”)

[edit] Double nature of the gerund

As the result of its origin and development, the gerund has nominal and verbal properties. The nominal characteristics of the gerund are as follows:

1. The gerund can perform the function of subject, object and predicative:
   • Smoking endangers your health. (subject)
   • I like making people happy. (object)
2. The gerund can be preceded by a preposition:
   • I’m tired of arguing.
3. Like a noun the gerund can be modified by a noun in the possessive case, a possessive adjective, or an adjective:
   • I wonder at John’s keeping calm.
   • Is there any objection to my seeing her?
   • Brisk walking relieves stress.

The verbal characteristics of the gerund include the following:

1. The gerund of transitive verbs can take a direct object:
   • I’ve made good progress in speaking Basque.
2. The gerund can be modified by an adverb:
   • Breathing deeply helps you to calm down.
3. The gerund has the distinctions of aspect and voice.
   • Having read the book once before makes me more prepared.
   • Being deceived can make someone feel angry.

[edit] Verb patterns with the gerund

Verbs that are often followed by a gerund include admit, adore, anticipate, appreciate, avoid, carry on, consider, contemplate, delay, deny, describe, detest, dislike, enjoy, escape, fancy, feel, finish, give, hear, imagine, include, justify, listen to, mention, mind, miss, notice, observe, perceive, postpone, practice, quit, recall, report, resent, resume, risk, see, sense, sleep, stop, suggest, tolerate and watch. Additionally, prepositions are often followed by a gerund.

For example:

• I will never quit smoking.
• We postponed making any decision.
• After two years of analyzing, we finally made a decision.
• We heard whispering.
• They denied having avoided me.
• He talked me into coming to the party.
• They frightened her out of voicing her opinion.

[edit] Verbs followed by a gerund or a to-infinitive

[edit] With little change in meaning

advise, recommend and forbid:

These are followed by a to-infinitive when there is an object as well, but by a gerund otherwise.

• The police advised us not to enter the building, for a murder had occurred. (Us is the object of advised.)
• The police advised against our entering the building. (Our is used for the gerund entering.)

consider, contemplate and recommend:

These verbs are followed by a to-infinitive only in the passive or with an object pronoun.

• People consider her to be the best. – She is considered to be the best.
• I am considering sleeping over, if you do not mind.

begin, continue, start; hate, like, love, prefer

With would, the verbs hate, like, love, and prefer are usually followed by the to–infinitive.

• I would like to work there. (more usual than working)

When talking about sports, there is usually a difference in meaning between the infinitive and gerund (see the next section).

[edit] With a change in meaning

like, love, prefer

In some contexts, following these verbs with a to-infinitive when the subject of the first verb is the subject of the second verb provides more clarity than a gerund.

• I like to box. (I enjoy doing it myself.)
• I like boxing. (Either I enjoy watching it, I enjoy doing it myself, or the idea of boxing is otherwise appealing.)
• I do not like gambling, but I do like to gamble.”

dread, hate and cannot bear:

These verbs are followed by a to-infinitive when talking subjunctively (often when using to think), but by a gerund when talking about general dislikes.

• I dread / hate to think what she will do.
• I dread / hate seeing him.
• I cannot bear to see you suffer like this. (You are suffering now.)
• I cannot bear being pushed around in crowds. (I never like that.)

forget and remember:

When these have meanings that are used to talk about the future from the given time, the to-infinitive is used, but when looking back in time, the gerund.

• She forgot to tell me her plans. (She did not tell me, although she should have.)
• She forgot telling me her plans. (She told me, but then forgot having done so.)
• I remembered to go to work. (I remembered that I needed to go to work.)
• I remembered going to work. (I remembered that I went to work.)

go on:

• After winning the semi-finals, he went on to play in the finals. (He completed the semi-finals and later played in the finals.)
• He went on giggling, not having noticed the teacher enter. (He continued doing so.)

mean:

• I did not mean to scare you off. (I did not intend to scare you off.)
• Taking a new job in the city meant leaving behind her familiar surroundings. (If she took the job, she would have to leave behind her familiar surroundings.)

regret:

• We regret to inform you that you have failed your exam. (polite or formal form of apology)
• I very much regret saying what I said. (I wish that I had not said that.)

try:

When a to-infinitive is used, the subject is shown to make an effort at something, attempt or endeavor to do something. If a gerund is used, the subject is shown to attempt to do something in testing to see what might happen.

• Please try to remember to post my letter.
• I have tried being stern, but to no avail.

stop, quit:

When the infinitive is used after ‘stop’ or ‘quit’, it means that the subject stops one activity and starts the activity indicated by the infinitive. If the gerund is used, it means that the subject stops the activity indicated by the gerund.

• She stopped to smell the flowers.
• She stopped smelling the flowers.

Or more concisely:

• She stopped walking to smell the flowers.

• He quit working there to travel abroad.

[edit] Gerunds preceded by a genitive

Because of its noun properties, the genitive (possessive) case is preferred for a noun or pronoun preceding a gerund, which is functioning as the subject of the gerund’s verbal element.

• We enjoyed their [genitive] singing.

This use is preferred in formal writing or speaking. In casual speech, the objective case is sometimes used in place of the possessive:

• I do not see it making any difference. (I do not see its making any difference is correct.)

Using the possessive case with the gerund is applicable in all situations, for instance:

• He affected my going there.
• He affected your going there.
• He affected his/her/its going there.
• He affected our going there.
• He affected their going there.
• He affected Mary’s going there.

The verbal action of the gerund belongs, in effect, to the subject practising it; thus, the possessive is required to clearly demonstrate that relationship.

In some situations, either the possessive or the nominative case may be logical, but with slightly different meanings; but when the nominative case is used the verbal element is a participle, not a gerund:

• The teacher’s shouting startled the student. (Shouting is a gerund, and teacher’s is a possessive noun indicating whose shouting is being talked about; but shouting is the subject of the sentence.)
• The teacher shouting startled the student. (Shouting is a participle describing the teacher. This sentence means The teacher who was shouting startled the student. In this sentence, the subject is the teacher herself. A clearer way to write this sentence might be The teacher, shouting, startled the student.)

Either of these sentences means that the student was startled because the teacher was shouting, but the first places greater emphasis on the shouting by making it the subject of the sentence, while the second places greater emphasis on the teacher and is not using a gerund.

Despite such examples of a similar construction that uses a participle instead of a gerund, using a noun or pronoun in anything except the possessive case as the subject of a gerund (He affected me going there) is incorrect in formal writing.

[edit] Gerunds and present participles

Insofar as there is a distinction between gerunds and present participles, it is generally fairly clear which is which. The subject or object of a preposition is a gerund. If, on the other hand, the word modifies a noun attributively or absolutely, it is a participle. The main source of confusion is when the word follows a verb, in which case it may be a predicate adjective and hence a participle, or a direct object or predicate nominative and hence a gerund. In this case, a few transformations can help distinguish the cases. In the table that follows, ungrammatical sentences are marked with asterisks, per common linguistic practice; it should be noted that the transformations all produce grammatical sentences with similar meanings when applied to sentences with gerunds but either ungrammatical sentences, or sentences with completely different meanings, when applied to sentences with participles.

Transformation	Gerund use	Participle use
(none)	John suggested asking Bill.	John kept asking Bill.
Passivization	Asking Bill was suggested.	*Asking Bill was kept.
Pronominal substitution	John suggested it.	*John kept it.
Use as a noun	John suggested the asking of Bill.	*John kept the asking of Bill.
Replacement with a finite clause	John suggested that Bill be asked.	*John kept that Bill be asked.
Use with an objective or possessive subject	John suggested our asking Bill.	*John kept his asking Bill.
Clefting	Asking Bill is what John suggested.	*Asking Bill is what John kept.
Left dislocation	Asking Bill John suggested.	*Asking Bill John kept.

None of these transformations is a perfect test, however.

Tugas Softskill Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2 (Pronouns)

Pronoun

In linguistics and grammar, a pronoun (Lat: pronomen) is a pro-form that substitutes for a noun (or noun phrase), such as, in English, the words it (substituting for the name of a certain object) and she (substituting for the female name of a person). The replaced noun is called the antecedent of the pronoun.

For example, consider the sentence “Lisa gave the coat to Phil.” All three nouns in the sentence can be replaced by pronouns: “She gave it to him.” If the coat, Lisa, and Phil have been previously mentioned, the listener can deduce what the pronouns she, it and him refer to and therefore understand the meaning of the sentence; however, if the sentence “She gave it to him.” is the first presentation of the idea, none of the pronouns have antecedents, and each pronoun is therefore ambiguous. Pronouns without antecedents are also called unprecursed pronouns. English grammar allows pronouns to potentially have multiple candidate antecedents. The process of determining which antecedent was intended is known as anaphore resolution.

Types of pronouns

Common types of pronouns found in the world’s languages are as follows:

• Personal pronounsstand in place of the names of people or things:
  • Subject pronouns are used when the person or thing is the subject of the sentence or clause. English example: I like to eat chips, but she does not.
    • Second person formal and informal pronouns (T-V distinction). For example, vous and tu in French. There is no distinction in modern English though Elizabethan English marked the distinction with “thou” (singular informal) and “you” (plural or singular formal).
    • Inclusive and exclusive “we” pronouns indicate whether the audience is included. There is no distinction in English.
    • Intensive pronouns, also known as emphatic pronouns, re-emphasize a noun or pronoun that has already been mentioned. English uses the same forms as the reflexive pronouns; for example: I did it myself (contrast reflexive use, I did it to myself).
  • Object pronouns are used when the person or thing is the object of the sentence or clause. English example: John likes me but not her.
    • Direct and indirect object pronouns. English uses the same oblique form for both; for example: Mary loves him (direct object); Mary sent him a letter (indirect object).
    • Reflexive pronouns are used when a person or thing acts on itself. English example: John cut himself.
    • Reciprocal pronouns refer to a reciprocal relationship. English example: They do not like each other.
  • Prepositional pronouns come after a preposition. No distinct forms exist in English; for example: Anna and Maria looked at him.
  • Disjunctive pronouns are used in isolation or in certain other special grammatical contexts. No distinct forms exist in English; for example: Who does this belong to? Me.
  • Dummy pronouns are used when grammatical rules require a noun (or pronoun), but none is semantically required. English example: It is raining.
  • Weak pronouns.
• Possessive pronouns are used to indicate possessionor ownership.
  • In a strict sense, the possessive pronouns are only those that act syntactically as nouns. English example: Those clothes are mine.
  • Often, though, the term “possessive pronoun” is also applied to the so-called possessive adjectives (or possessive determiners). For example, in English: I lost my wallet. They are not strictly speaking pronouns^{[citation needed]} because they do not substitute for a noun or noun phrase, and as such, some grammarians classify these terms in a separate lexical category called determiners (they have a syntactic role close to that of adjectives, always qualifying a noun).
• Demonstrative pronouns distinguish the particular objects or people that are referred to from other possible candidates. English example: I’ll take these.
• Indefinite pronouns refer to general categories of people or things. English example: Anyone can do that.
  • Distributive pronouns are used to refer to members of a group separately rather than collectively. English example: To each his own.
  • Negative pronouns indicate the non-existence of people or things. English example: Nobody thinks that.
• Relative pronouns refer back to people or things previously mentioned. English example: People who smoke should quit now.
  • Indefinite relative pronouns have some of the properties of both relative pronouns and indefinite pronouns. They have a sense of “referring back”, but the person or thing to which they refer has not previously been explicitly named. English example: I know what I like.
• Interrogative pronouns ask which person or thing is meant. English example: Who did that?
  • In many languages (e.g., Czech, English, French, Interlingua, and Russian), the sets of relative and interrogative pronouns are nearly identical. Compare English: Who is that? (interrogative) to I know who that is. (relative).

[edit] Pronouns and determiners

Pronouns and determiners are closely related, and some linguists think pronouns are actually determiners without a noun or a noun phrase. The following chart shows their relationships in English.

	Pronoun	Determiner
Personal (1st/2nd)	we	we Scotsmen
Possessive	ours	our freedom
Demonstrative	this	this gentleman
Indefinite	some	some frogs
Interrogative	who	which option

Tugas Softskill Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2 (Kalimat Pasif Aktif)

Kalimat Pasif Aktif

Bahasa Inggris memiliki dua bentuk kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu pikiran. Kedua bentuk kalimat tersebut adalah kalimat aktif dan kalimat pasif. Dalam kalimat aktif subject melakukan pekerjaan, atau melakukan suatu perbuatan. Dengan ciri khas bahwa kata kerja yang digunakan berawalan “me-“. Sedangkan di dalam kalimat pasif , subject dalam kalimat tersebut tidak melakukan pekerjaan/perbuatan, melainkan dikenai pekerjaan/perbuatan. Dengan ciri khas bahwa kata kerja yang digunakan dalam kalimat tersebut berawalan “di-“.
Kata kerja yang digunakan dalam kalimat pasif bahasa Inggris adalah:

be + Verb 3 (Past Participle)
“Be” itu sendiri dibuat sesuai dengan tense yang digunakan dalam kalimat itu dan disuikan dengan subject kalimat tersebut.

Kalimat aktif diubah menjadi kalimat pasif dengan menjadikan “object” kalimat aktif itu sebagai “Subject” kalimat pasif tersebut. Berdasarkan hal itu jelaslah bahwa hanya kalimat yang memiliki “object” yang dapat diubah menjadi pasif.

Contoh:
Yanto slapped the boy on his face.
S P O
Kalimat tersebut dapat diubah menjadi:
The boy was slapped on his face.
S P

Object pelaku kalimat pasif yang dalam bahasa inggris dinyatakan dengan kata “by …” jarang diucapkan, karena kalimat pasif cenderung untuk hanya mengemukakan aktifitas . object pelaku diucapkan/ditilis hanya bila memang diperlukan, sebagai kelengkapan arti kalimat pasif bersangkutan.

Contoh :
The queen invited us to dinner.
Kalimat ini akan menjadi:
We were invited to dinner by the queen.

Bila pada sebuah kalimat aktif terdapat dua object , maka subject kalimat pasifnya dapat dipilih dari kedua object tersebut. Namun biasanya dalam bahasa inggris object manusia yang digunakan/dipilih sebagai subject kalimat pasif.

Contoh:
Aktif : I shall give her a new pen.
Pasif : 1. She will be given a new pen.
2. A new pen will be give

CALON PRESIDEN

Semua DPD Golkar Sepakati Aburizal

BALIKPAPAN, KOMPAS – Dewan Pimpinan Daerah Partai Golkar di 33 provinsi  sepakat mengusung Aburizal Bakrie alias Ical sebagai calon presiden pada Pemilihan Presiden 2014. Adapun Kandidat pendamping Aburizal diserahkan kepada Aburizal untuk memilih. Sikap DPD-DPD tersebut akan disampaikan dirapat pimpinan nasional Golkar, akhir bulan ini.

Mengenai siapa pendamping Ical, sudah ada beberapa pendapat dari masing-masing DPD, tetapi mereka belum memikirkan saat ini juga. Kepala staf TNI AD Jendral Pramono Edhie Wibowo juga muncul sebagai salah satu figur untuk dipertimbangkan, tetapi sejauh ini kepastian figur tersebut belum menjadi sikap resmi DPD-DPD.

Demikian diungkapkan sejumlah ketua DPD Golkar seusai menggelar pertemuan tertutup di Hotel Grand Senyiur, Balikpapan, Kalimantan Timur (15/10). Pertemuan silaturahim yang digagas yang dibiayai sendiri oleh pimpinan DPD-DPD Golkar tingkat provinsi itu dihadiri 30 ketua DPD Golkar provinsi, Minus Sumatera Selatan, Riau, dan Bangka Belitung (Babel) yang pamit. Meskipun demikian, ketiga DPD tersebut telah sepakat mengenai pengusungan nama Ical.

Ketua DPD Golkar Sulawesi Tenggara Ridwan Bae mengutarakan, seluruh DPD Golkar tingkat provinsi menyimpulkan bahwa Aburizal adalah figure yang sangat pantas dan mampu mengendalikan bangsa. “Ical-lah yang terbaik. Kami meyakini kemampuan Ical mengatasi masalah bangsa. (Nama) Ical akan kami bawa ke Rapimnas Golkar, Akhir bulan ini,” ujar Ridwan.

Mukmin Faisyal, ketua DPD Golkar Kaltim, mengatakan, ditetapkannya Ical bukan berarti melawan mekanisme partai. Sikap DPD-DPD itu akan disampaikan ke Ical. “Kami mendesak mekanisme selanjutnya, yakni survey dilakukan,” kata Mukmin.

Tentang nama Jendral Pramono Edhie sebagai kandidat pendamping ical, sejauh ini merupakan sikap DPD Golkar Kaltim, belum menjadi sikap semua DPD. Namun, nama Pramono akan dimasukkan menjadi pertimbangan. “Sekarang, nama-nama (kandidat pendamping Ical) masih dalam penimbangan-penimbangan,” ujar Gandung Pardiman, Ketua DPD Golkar Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta.

Direktur Eksekutif Imparsial, Poengky Indarti, di Jakarta, sebelumnya mengatakan pemimpin yang kuat, bervisi jelas, dan berani mengambil keputusan bisa muncul dari kelompok mana saja, baik militer maupun sipil.

Namun, dia menjelaskan, masyarakat tidak perlu terjebak dalam tipologi kepemimpinan berdasarkan kelompok militer dan sipil. Sebagai pemimpin, baik sipil maupun purnawirawan, haruslah bersikap tegas dan disiplin. Ketegasan dan kedisiplinan tidak hanya melekat pada TNI, tetapi juga pada semua orang.

Selama ini TNI dianggap disiplin dan tegas hanyalah konstruksi sosial yang dibangun Orde Baru. Padahal, faktanya tidak begitu. Ini yang selalu dipakai untuk kepentingan politik kelompok-kelompok tertentu yang menempatkan militer lebih berkualitas dari pada sipil demi menutupi kepentingan kekuasaan dan uang. “Negara ini harus dipimpin oleh orang-orang yang berkualitas, punya integritas dan professional,” katanya.

Tentang Ical yang selalu dikaitkan dengan lumpur Lapindo, menurut sejumlah ketua DPD Golkar, harus diluruskan. Ical sudah melakukan jauh melebihi kewajibannya. Bahkan kekayaan pribadi dan keluarga Ical pun dikeluarkan, yang jumlahnya sekitar 8 triliun. (PRA/IAM)
