1.2. Menulis ungkapan request, permission dan offer dalam kalimat yang benar

REQUEST
A request is the act of asking for something to be given or done. When we make a
request, we ask someone for something, or we ask someone to do something. There are
many different ways of making polite requests in English. If you don't want to sound rude
when speaking English, then you need to know how to make a request in a polite way.
Requests in English are usually made in the form of questions.

Polite Request
Expressions: Please/ Could you please/ Would you/ Would you mind
e.g: Could you pass me the book, please?
Would you mind passing me the book, please?
Excuse me, I’m so sorry to bother you but would you mind passing me
the book, please?

In formal writing
Use the phrase: I would be grateful if you could …

Responding to request:
• Sure here you are.
• Okay.
• No, I'm sorry I need it.
• I'm afraid I can't.
The response to the following request:
A: "Would you mind giving me your novel? " is either
• "No, I don't mind."(which is a positive response to the request. It means that I accept
to lend you my novel)
• or "Yes." (which is a negative response to the request. It means that I don't want to
lend you my novel)

PERMISSION
Permission is being given the opportunity to go out and attend certain functions or
gatherings.
• We use can to ask for permission to do something:
Can I ask a question, please?
Can we go home now?
• could is more formal and polite than can:
Could I ask a question please?
Could we go home now?
• may is another more formal and polite way of asking for permission:
May I ask a question please?
May we go home now?
• We use can to give permission:
You can go home now if you like.
You can borrow my pen if you like.
• may is a more formal and polite way of giving permission:
You may go home now, if you like.

Notes:
More formal and polite way of asking for permission:
• Would it be possible if I + V1 …?
• Would it be alright if I + V1 ..?
• Is it alright if I + V1 ….?
• Is it possible if I + V1 ….?
• Do you think I could + V1…?
• Would you mind if I + V1 …?

OFFER
An offer is asking someone if they would like to have something or if they would
like you to do something.

Offering help
• Would you like some help?
• Can I give you a hand?
• Do you need any help?
• May I offer my assistance?
• Need any help?

She’s unable to dance.
manage to I manage to dance. I didn’t manage to dance. Did he manage to dance?
I managed not to fail.

We use “can” and “be able to” when we express about our power or skill to do something.
The simplest way to talk about basic abilities is using the words “can” and “be able to.” Look
at the short dialogue below.

A: So tell me, can you speak any foreign languages?


B: Yes. I can speak Japanese and Mandarin.
A: I see, and do you know any Spanish?
B: No. I’m unable to speak Spanish.

3.2 Membuat ungkapan ability sesuai tenses yang benar

Expressing present ability


We use can/cannot/can’t:
She can operate the computer well.
Be able to is also possible:
He is able to type 85 words a minute.

Expressing ability in the future


We use will be able to to make a prediction.
By 2050 people will be able to learn a language by taking a pill.

Expressing ability with perfect forms


We use be able to:
He’s been able speak fluent French since he was a child. (present perfect tense)
If she’d been able to type she might have got the job. (past perfect tense)

Expressing past ability


could, was/were able to
Could can be used to express ability when referring to the past. Was/were able to is sometimes
used as an alternative to could when we are discussing ability. We tend to use could when we
are talking about ability generally.
could have + past participle
We can use could have + past participle to talk about unrealized past ability.
e.g. You could have asked me before borrowing his car.
managed to
Managed to means you are able to do something, but only with difficulty.
I managed to start the car, but only after ten minutes of trying.

Verbs that refer to the five senses, see, hear, smell, feel, taste, and verbs that refer to thought
processes, understand, believe, remember, decide, we normally use could, even when we are
talking about specific occasions:
My friend asked me when Mary's birthday was, but I couldn't remember.

COMPARATIVE DEGREE I

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 6, mahasiswa mampu:
6.1 Memahami penggunaan ungkapan Comparative degree
6.2 Membuat kalimat menggunakan ungkapan Comparative degree

B. URAIAN MATERI
Comparative Degree
• The adjective describes a noun or pronoun. The basic form of an adjective is known as
the positive degree. It can be inflected (changed in form) to compare a quality between two
nouns—this form is known as the comparative degree. It can also be inflected to identify a
noun with the highest or lowest degree of an attribute among a group—this is known as
the superlative degree. Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between
the two objects they modify. They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared:
noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).
• The comparative and the superlative of one-syllable adjectives are formed adding –er and
–est to the absolute.
e.g. large – larger - the largest
His office is larger than my office.
His office is the largest in this area.
• The comparative and the superlative of adjectives of three or more syllable are formed by
adding more and most.
e.g. important - more important - the most important
Looking for a friend is more important than looking for an enemy.
Looking for a friend is the most important thing in this case.
C. LATIHAN
Exercise 1.
Underline the comparatives that are incorrect in the following sentences.
1. Stretching a string more tightly gives a highest note.
2. The violin is probably the most importantest of all orchestral instruments.
3. The viols are bowed strings that are more older than the violin family.
4. The viols do not have as bright a sound the violin family.
5. The heavier the string, the low the note it sounds.
6. Small violins have short strings than full-sized instruments, but they play the same notes.
7. Andres Segovia is the more famous classical guitarist in the world.
8. It is said that a special varnish used on a violin helps to produce the more beautiful tone.

COMPARATIVE DEGREE II

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 7, mahasiswa mampu:
7.1 Memahami comparative and superlative adverbs
7.2 Membuat kalimat comparative and superlative adverbs

B. URAIAN MATERI
Comparative and superlative adverbs
• Many adverbs can have the positive, the comparative, and the superlative forms.
• The comparative form is used for comparing two actions or states:
e.g. He ate his lunch more quickly than Jim (did).
Can’t we go any slower?
The company performed better this year (than last year).
• The superlative is used for comparing one action or state with all the others in the same
category:
e.g. Jack is playing the kind of role that suits him best.

Forming comparative and superlative adverbs


• There are three ways that the comparative and superlative of adverbs are formed,
depending on the spelling of the base adverb.
• Mostly adverbs ending in –ly
• For the comparative and superlative forms of all one-syllable adverbs use –er and –est

Absolute Comparative Superlative


Fast Faster fastest
Early Earlier earliest
and for all other adverbs use more and most

Absolute Comparative Superlative


Slowly more slowly most slowly
Commonly more commonly most commonly

• The following are irregular comparatives and superlatives of adjectives and adverbs:
Absolute Comparative Superlative
good (adj) Better best
well (adv) Better best
bad (adj) Worse worst
badly (adv) Worse worst
little (adj/adv) Less least
many (adj) More most
much (adj/adv) More most
far (adj/adv) farther farthest
further furthest
late (adv) Later last
old (adj) older oldest
elder eldest

• Other forms of the comparative


1. As … as
When things that are equal are compared, the following forms can be used.
e.g. They are not as many violin makers today as there were in the past.
My house is as high as his house.
2. The double comparative: the + comparative … the + comparative
The double comparative is used to show parallel increase or decrease.
e.g. The more he plays, the more he improves.
The shorter the string, the higher the note.
3. As and Like:
In a simple comparison, like is used before a noun or pronoun.
e.g. You play the cello with a bow like the violin.
If a verb follows the noun or pronoun, as much be used.
e.g: You play the cello with a bow as you do the violin.
C. LATIHAN
Exercise 1.

1. Nina dances … than Sheila. (well)

PERTEMUAN 9
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 9, mahasiswa mampu:
9.1 memahami ungkapan similarities and differences (so and neither)
9.2 menunjukan ungkapan similarities and differences (so and neither) dalam sebuah
kalimat
9.3 membuat kalimat menggunakan ungkapan similarities and differences (so and
neither)

B. URAIAN MATERI
9.1 memahami ungkapan similarities and differences (so and neither)

Too, either, so and neither/nor


• After a clause there can be a short addition with too or either. The positive pattern is subject
+ auxiliary + too. The negative is subject + auxiliary + n't+ either.
e.g. You're cheating. ~ You are, too.
Barbara can't drive, and her husband can't either.
• In simple tenses we use the auxiliary verb do.
e.g. I like chocolate. ~ I do, too.
That torch doesn't work. ~ This one doesn't either.
• We can also use be on its own as an ordinary verb.
e.g. I'm tired. ~ I am, too.
• An addition to a positive statement can also have this pattern with 50.
e.g. I like chocolate. ~ So do I. You're beautiful. ~ So are you.
Children should behave themselves, and so should adults.

• So here means the same as too. There is inversion.


e.g. I like chocolate. ~ So I do.
• An addition to a negative statement can also have this pattern with neither or nor.
e.g. Barbara can't drive, and neither/nor can her husband.
We haven't got a dishwasher. ~ Neither/Nor have we.
The ham didn't taste very nice. ~ Neither/Nor did the eggs.
• Neither and nor mean the same as not... either.
NOTE
a. There is no difference in meaning between neither and nor,
but nor is a little more formal.
b. The first sound in either/neither is /i:/ in the USA and usually /ai/ in Britain.
In these examples a negative addition follows a positive statement, and vice versa.
e.g. I'm hungry now. ~ Well, I'm not.
We haven't got a dishwasher. ~ We have.

PERTEMUAN 10
GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 10, mahasiswa mampu:

10.2 mampu menunjukan ungkapan Gerunds and Infinitives
10.3 membuat kalimat menggunakana ungkapan Gerunds and Infinitives

B. URAIAN MATERI
10.4 memahami ungkapan Gerunds and Infinitives
Gerunds
A gerund is the –ing form of a verb used as a noun. It is used as the same ways as a noun (as
a subject or as an object). Look at the sentences below:
a. Playing badminton is fun.
The word “Playing” is a gerund. It is used as the subject of the sentence. “Playing
badminton” is a gerund phrase.
b. We enjoy playing badminton.
The word “playing” is a gerund used as the object of the verb “enjoy”.
c. Jack is fond of playing badminton.
d. The word “playing” is a gerund used as the object of the preposition “of”.
Common verbs followed by gerunds:
Enjoy appreciate mind quit (give up) finish (get through)
Stop avoid postpone (put off) delay keep (keep on)
consider discuss mention suggest

Infinitives
The infinitive is formed by adding to to the base form of a verb. The infinitive can be used
as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb.
Look at the sentences below:
To train is hard work. (noun)
He always has energy to speak. (adjective)
She ran to win. (adverb).

10.1 mampu menunjukan ungkapan Gerunds and Infinitive


Some verbs take a to-infinitive, and others take a gerund.
▪ Gerund forms: A gerund is an ing-form, e.g. walking.
e.g. Walking is good for you.
▪ Gerund clauses: We can put an object or adverbial after the gerund.
e.g. I like having friends round for coffee.
▪ Some patterns with the gerund:
e.g. Finding the money wasn't easy.
It wasn't easy finding the money.
The difficult part was finding the money.
▪ Preposition + gerund:
e.g. I apologized for being late.
Are you interested in buying this car?
I ran all the way home without stopping.
▪ We use a perfect gerund for something before the time of the main clause.
e.g. Sarah remembered having visited the place before.
(The visit was before the memory.) But we do not need to use the perfect if it is
clear from the context that the time was earlier.
Sarah remembered visiting the place before.
▪ In the negative, not comes before the gerund.
e.g. It's difficult not smoking for a whole day.
I can't help not being amused by these silly jokes.
▪ Verb + object + gerund
e.g. I hate people laughing at me.
The arrangements involve you/your giving everyone a lift.
How can they justify lives being put at risk?
We can use an object + gerund after these verbs:
avoid (not) forget love prefer risk
can't help hate mean prevent save
dislike imagine mention remember stop
dread involve mind resent tolerate
enjoy justify miss resist understand
excuse like

▪ A gerund often comes after a verb + preposition, an adjective + preposition or a


noun + preposition. We do not use a to-infinitive in these patterns.
e.g. We believe in giving people the freedom to choose.
My husband isn't very good at cooking.
It's just a matter of filling in a form.
We can also use a gerund after than, as and like expressing comparison.
e.g. A holiday is nicer than sitting at a desk.
Walking isn't as good for you as swimming.
We can also use a gerund after prepositional verbs.
e.g. Sue insists on reading the letter.
Let's get on with addressing the envelopes.
We can use a gerund after these prepositional verbs:
admit to benefit from get on with rely on
(dis)agree with care for insist on resort to
aim at confess to object to succeed in
apologize for count on pay for think of
(dis)approve of depend on put up with vote for
believe in feel like

▪ A gerund can follow an adjective + preposition.


e.g. I'm nervous of saying the wrong thing.
What's wrong with borrowing a little money?
We can use:
afraid of amazed at angry about/at
annoyed about/at anxious about ashamed of
aware of bad at bored with
capable of content with dependent on
different to/from excited about/at famous for
fed up with fond of good at
grateful for guilty of happy about/with
interested in keen on nervous of
pleased about/with ready for responsible for
satisfied with sorry about/for successful in
surprised at used to worried about
wrong with

▪ For joining and to join


After some verbs and adjectives, we can use either a preposition + gerund or a to-
infinitive, with no difference in meaning.
e.g. The people voted for joining/voted to join the European Community.
We can use these expressions:
aim at doing/to do amazed at finding/to find
angry at finding/to find annoyed at finding/to find
content with being/to be grateful for having/to have
pay for having/to have ready for taking/to take
satisfied with being/to be thankful for having/to have
surprised at finding/to find vote for doing/to do

▪ To do or to doing?
To can be part of a to-infinitive, or it can be a preposition.
e.g. I hope to see you soon. (hope + to-infinitive)
I look forward to seeing you soon. (look forward to + gerund)
We can also put a noun phrase after the preposition to.
e.g. I look forward to next weekend.
We can use a gerund (but not an infinitive) with the verbs admit to, confess to, face
up to, look forward to, object to, prefer ...to, resort to, take to; the adjectives
accustomed to, close to, opposed to, resigned to, used to; and the preposition in
addition to.
▪ To-infinitive : I decided to take a taxi.
Gerund : I suggested taking a taxi.

+ to-infinitive
afford expect ought
agree fail plan
aim get (= succeed) prepare
appear grow pretend
arrange guarantee promise
ask happen prove
attempt hasten refuse
be seek have
be dying help seem
beg hesitate swear
can't wait hope tend
care (= want) learn threaten
choose long train
claim manage turn out
come neglect undertake
dare offer used
decide omit wish

PERTEMUAN 11
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 11, mahasiswa mampu:
11.1 memahami conditional sentences
11.2 menentukan struktur kalimat yang benar dari conditional sentences
11.3 membuat struktur kalimat yang benar dari conditional sentences

B. URAIAN MATERI
11.1 memahami conditional sentences

Conditional Sentences, usually known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses, are contain of If


clause (the condition) and Main Clause (the result). It used to express or to speculate about
what might happen, what might have happened and what we wish would happen.
Examples:
• If I study hard, I will get good score in Math

If clause main clause


• If I win the quiz game, I will give up my job
• We would have got the concert ticket if we had come earlier

Note:
1. The If Clause can come either before or after the main clause
2. Use a comma after the if-clause when the if-clause precedes the main clause
Example: I would buy an expensive car if I had a lot of money (after)
If we had come earlier, we would have got the concert ticket (before)
There are four type of Conditional Sentences:
Type Condition Form Example
If Clause Main Clause
Zero Generally true If + S + V1 S + V1 • If you heat ice, it melts
Conditional • If you don’t brush your
teeth, you get cavities
Type I Real/ Future If + S + V1 S + will + V1 • If I know her address, I’ll
Possibility visit her
(High possibilty • If you don’t hurry, you
to be happen) will miss the meeting
Type II Imaginary If + S + V2 S + would + • If I were president I
situation V1 would lower taxes
(Impossible to be • If I studied hard, I would
happen) pass the exam
Type III Imagine situation If + S + had + S + would/ • If you had told me you
in past (It’s too V3 could/ might + needed a ride, I would
late to be happen) have + V3 have left earlier

Conditional Sentences with “Wish”


We use wish to talk about something in the present or past that is or was not true, but we
would like it or would have liked it to be true

Wishes about situations or speaker’s habits


We use past tense (past simple, past continuous)
• I wish he was more enthusiastic (he isn’t enthusiastic)
• I wish I didn’t smoke to much (I smoke a lot)
Wishes about the
present
Wishes about actions
We use would + infinitive without to
• I wish he would stop talking (he is talking a lot now)
• I wish they’d hurry up (they are being slow)

We use the past perfect


Wishes about the
• I wish I had accepted the invitation (I didn’t accept)
past (regret) • He wishes he’d never taken the job (he did take the job)

Note:
If only can be used in the same way as wish (both present and past). It is slightly stronger and
more dramatic.
Example: If only I could drive (I can’t drive)
If only I’d seen you earlier. I could have warned you about the traffic (I didn’t see
you earlier)

11.2 menentukan struktur kalimat yang benar dari conditional sentences

Mike I don’t understand various conditional forms. Second Conditional… Why


Second? I don’t remember when our teacher explained the First Conditional.
Tika If you didn’t talk in class you would know the material.
Mike Wait...wait... I think you gave an example of a Conditional. But First or
Second?
Tika Listen attentively. It’s not very difficult. The First Conditional expresses
Future possibilities. For example: If Diana wakes up earlier, she will not miss
the meeting
Mike You mean that we use Present Simple in “if clauses” and Future Simple in
“main clauses”?
Tika You are right. Remember that we use the First Conditional when a situation is
real or high possiblity to be happen.
Mike And when should we use the Second Conditional?
Tika Can’t you guess? We use the Second Conditional when a situation is unreal or
impossile to be happen. For example: If I saw a ghost here, I would run away.
or If I were the president of my country, I would…
Mike I got the idea. The Second Conditional form is If… + Past Simple …would +
Inf.
Tika Don’t forget that both conditionals refer to the present and future. The
difference is about probability, not time. First Conditional sentences express
real situations; Second Conditional sentences express unreal situations… And
don’t forget about If I were. In speaking we can either use If I were… or If I
was…, but in writing we always use If I were….

11.3 membuat struktur kalimat benar dari conditional sentences


Conversation 1 (First and Second Condition)
Mom : Don’t play with your food.
Jack : Can I go outside now, Mom?
Mom : You can’t. You have to finish your food
Jack : But I’m full. If I ate everything, I would get fat
Mom : If you finish your food, I will allow to play outside with your friend.
Conversation 2 (Third Conditional)
Suzie : So how’s your TOEIC test?
Dona : It’s a big failure.
Suzie : What’s wrong?
Dona : If I had studied English well, I would have got a good score in TOEIC
Suzie : You can do the test again.
Dona : I can, but I really need to study hard this time, so I can get a good score.

Now you can try to make conversation using conditional sentences !

PERTEMUAN 12
PASSIVE VOICE

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 12, mahasiswa mampu:
12.1 memahami penggunaan kalimat Passive Voice
12.2 menemukan kalimat pasif dalam kalimat
12.3 membuat kalimat pasif

B. URAIAN MATERI
12.1 memahami penggunaan kalimat Passive Voice

1. The Use of Passive


Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known who
or what is performing the action.
Example: My car was stolen.
In example above, the focus is on the fact that my car was stolen. I don’t know, however,
who did it.

Some time a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the the following
example shows:
Example: A mistake was made
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone. (e.g.
You have made a mistake)

2. Form of Passive

Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle

Note:
• The object of active sentence become the subject of the passive voice
• The finite form of the verb is changed (to be + pas participle)
• The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is
dropped)
Examples:
TENSE SUBJECT VERB OBJECT
Simple Active Alice Makes a presentation
Present Passive A presentation is made by Alice
Simple Past Active Alice Made a presentation
Passive A presentation was made by Alice
Present Active Alice has made a presentation
Perfect Passive A presentation has been made by Alice
Future I Active Alice will make a presentation
Passive A presentation will be made by Alice
Present Active Alice is making a presentation
Progressive Passive A presentation is being made by Alice
Past Active Alice was making a presentation
Progressive Passive A presentation was being made by Alice
Past Perfect Active Alice had made a presentation
Passive A presentation had been made by Alice
Future II Active Alice will have made a presentation
Passive A presentation will have been by Alice
made
Conditional Active Alice would make a presentation
I Passive A presentation would be made by Alice
Conditional Active Alice would have made a presentation
II Passive A presentation would have been by Alice
made
3. Passive Sentences with Two Objects
Rewriting an active sentences with two objects in passive voice means that one of the two
objects become the subject, the other one remains an object. Which object to transform
into a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.
Subject Verb Object 1 Object 2
Active Angel Sent an email to me
Passive An email was sent to me by Angel
Passive I was sent an email by Angel

As you can see in the examples above, adding by Angel does not sound very elegant.
That’s why it is usually dropped.

4. Personal and Impresonal Passive


• Personal passive simply means that the object of the active sentence become the
subject of the passive sentence. So every verb that needs an object (transitive verb) can
form a personal passive.
Example: They build houses – Houses are built.
• Verb without an object (intrasitive verb) normally can’t form a personal passive
sentence (as there is no object that can become the subject of the passive sentence) . If
you want to use an intransitive verb in passive voice, then you need an impersonal
construction – therefore this passive is called Impersonal Passive.
Example: He says – it is said.
• Impersonal Passive is not as common in english as in some other languages (e.g
German, Latin). In English Impersonal passive is only possible with verbs of
perception (e.g. say, think, know).
Example: They say that non smokers live longer than smokers – it is said that non
smokers live longer than smoker.
Although Impersonal Passive is possible here, Personal Passive is more common
Example: They say that non smoker live longer than smoker – Non smoker are said to
live longer than smoker.
The subject of the subordinate clause (non smoker) goes to the beginning of the
sentence; the verb of perception is put into passive voice. The rest of the sentence is
added using an infinitive construction with ‘to’ (certain auxiliary verbs and that are
dropped)

12.2 menemukan kalimat pasif dalam kalimat


Try to find the passive voice below.
When the American, Mr. Otis, bought Carterville Castle, everyone told him that this was
very foolish, as the place was haunted. But Mr. Otis answered, “I come from a modern country,
where we have everything that money can buy. And if there were such a thing as a ghost in
Europe, we would have it at home in one of our museums.” A few weeks later, on a lovely July
evening, Mr. Otis, his wife and their children, Washington, Virginia and the twins, went down
to their new home. When they entered the avenue of Carterville Castle, the sky suddenly
became dark and a spooky stillness was in the air.
Mrs. Umney, the housekeeper, led them into the library of the castle, where they sat down
and began to look around. Suddenly, Mrs Otis saw a red stain on the floor just by the fireplace
and said to Mrs. Umney, “I am afraid something has been spilt there.”
“Yes, madam,” said the old housekeeper in a low voice, “blood has been spilt on that spot.”
“How terrible,” said Mrs. Otis; “I don't want any blood-stains in my sitting-room. It must be
removed at once.”
The old woman smiled and answered, “It is the blood of Lady Eleanor de Carterville, who was
murdered on that spot by her husband, Sir Simon de Carterville, in 1575. Sir Simon disappeared
seven years later. His body has never been found, but his ghost still haunts the Castle. The
blood-stain is a tourist attraction now and it cannot be removed.” “That is all nonsense,” said
Washington, the eldest son of the Otis family, “stain remover will clean it up in no time,” and
he took a bottle

12.3 membuat kalimat pasif


Practice passive voice in Discussion
Jack You’d better work faster. You are being watched.
Mary I’m being watched? What about you?
Jack Yes. All of the workers are being videotaped now

PERTEMUAN 13
OBLIGATION AND NECESSITY IN THE PRESENT

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 13, mahasiswa mampu:
13.1 memahami modal verbs untuk obligation and necessity in the present
13.2 menemukan modal verbs untuk obligation and necessity in the present dalam
kalimat
13.3 membuat kalimat menggunakan modal verbs untuk obligation and necessity in
the present

B. URAIAN MATERI
13.1 memahami modal verbs untuk obligation and necessity in the present

1. Obligation & Necessity with MUST, HAVE TO, HAVE GOT TO


a. We can use MUST, HAVE TO, and HAVE GOT TO to express obligation
(kewajiban) and necessity (keharusan).
b. There is a difference between MUST and HAVE TO. When you are stating you own
opinion that something is an obligation or a necessity, you used MUST. But when you
are giving information about what someone else considers to be an obligation or a
necessity, you normally use HAVE TO. So, broadly speaking, when “must” is used,
the obligation comes from the speaker, (internal obligation).
Examples: It’s a great film. You really must go and see it.
They have to pay the bill by Friday.
c. If we talk about or report an obligation that comes from “outside” (for example: a
regulation or order from somebody else).
1) MUST is possible (especially in written rules)
Examples: The Guests must report in 1 x 24 hours
In Britain you must wear a seat belt when you drive
2) HAVE TO is more common
Example: I have to work from 9 a.m. till 5 p.m. (an order from the boss)
3) HAVE GOT TO is usually only used in spoken English or written fiction. It can
be used for “external” and “internal” obligation
Example: I have got to send this presentation before 7 0’clock
d. In negative sentences “don’t have to”, “needn’t”, “don’t need to” or “haven’t got to” is
used to say that there’s no obligation (tidak perlu/tidak harus)
Examples: You don’t have to work tomorrow if you don’t want to.
You needn’t go tomorrow if you don’t want to.
You don’t need to come tomorrow if you don’t want to.
(NOT = mustn’t)
e. MUST NOT (larangan) is used to tell people not to do things; means that something
is wrong, dangerous or not permitted (jangan/dilarang keras)
Example: You mustn’t move any paper on my desk.
You mustn’t smoke in gas station area

2. Obligation & Necessity with SHOULD, OUGHT TO


a. SHOULD and OUGHT TO are used to express mild obligation and duty, and in
general to say what we think it is good for people to do (sebaiknya)
Example: You should save your money well for you future
You shouldn’t work too hard. It’s not good for your health
b. In most cases, both SHOULD and OUGHT TO can be used with more or less the
same meaning.
Example: You should /ought to go and see your uncle. He’s very ill.
c. However, there is a slight difference: When we use SHOULD we give our own
subjective opinion; OUGHT TO has a rather more objective force, and is used when
we talk about laws, duties and regulations.
Example: We ought to go and see your uncle next week, but I don’t think we will.
It would sound strange to use should and then add we are not going to see him.
13.2 menemukan modal verbs untuk obligation and necessity in the present dalam

Student : What about the grammar exercise do we need to revise the lesson before we can
do it?

next English lesson.

PERTEMUAN 14
OBLIGATION AND NECESSITY IN THE PAST

A. TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN
Setelah mempelajari materi pertemuan 14, mahasiswa mampu:
14.1 Memahami ungkapan obligation and necessity in the past
14.2 Menulis ungkapan obligation and necessity in the past
14.3 Membuat dialog sederhana menggunakan ungkapan ungkapan obligation and
necessity in the past

B. URAIAN MATERI
14.1 Memahami ungkapan obligation and necessity in the past

To express obligation, duty or necessity in the future or the past, must is not used. It replaced
by have to or had to ( harus/wajib...tidak ada pilihan ). Other modal that we can use to
describe obligations in the past :
o should have (seharusnya)
o was/were supposed to (diharapkan/diminta)
o needed to (harus...masih boleh memilih)
o didn’t have to (tidak perlu/tidak harus)
o couldn’t (tidak perlu)
o wasn’t/weren’t allowed (tidak diijinkan)

HAVE TO and NEED TO are often used in the same context, but many times, NEED TO is
used to express something that is less urgent, something in which you have a choice
Examples:
• I was supposed to wash my car.
• I had to wash my car.
• I should have washed my car.
• I needed to wash my car.
• I didn’t have to wash my car.
• I couldn’t wash my car

PAST POSITIVE NEGATIVE


Had to/ didn’t have to Obligation in the past No obligation in the past
• We had to be go to • We didn’t have to go to
bed at 9 o’clock when school on Saturday.
we were kids.
Must Replaced with ‘had to’
Should have + pp/ A past action which A past action which didn’t
shouldn’t have + pp didn’t happen (the happen: the advice/ regret is
advice/ regret is too late) too late
• You should have gone • You shouldn’t have
to the office earlier, written that article. It
now you have missed made you lose your job.
the bus.

Remember 'must have done' is a modal verb of deduction or speculation, not obligation in the
past. For example: Julie must have left. Her coat's not here.

14.2 Menulis ungkapan obligation and necessity in the past
