GERIND AND INFINITIVE

23.15 | by ELza13's



GERIND
     Gerund adalah kata yang dibentuk dari verb dengan ditambahkan suffix (akhiran ) -ing dan berfungsi sebagai noun (kata benda). Karena gerund berfungsi sebagai noun, maka harus ada verb di dalam suatu kalimat. Sebagai noun, gerund dapat menempati posisi sebagai subject, direct object, subject complement, object of preposition, atau appositive di dalam suatu kalimat.
Contoh Gerund:
  • Running may be hard for some people. [running = subject of sentence] (Berlari mungkin sulit untuk sebagian orang).
  • Everyone hates waiting. [waiting = direct object] (Setiap orang benci menunggu).

INFINITIVE
     Infinitives adalah bentuk dasar dari verbs. Dalam bahasa inggris, penulisan infinitives biasanya diawali dengan “to”. Misalnya: to read, to walk, to give, dan seterusnya. Meskipun pada umumnya infinitive diawali dengan “to”, akan tetapi ada beberapa infinitive tanpa “to”, biasanya disebut dengan “bare infinitive”. Contoh: “Help me open the window”.

Beberapa verb (kata kerja) lazim yang dapat diikuti oleh “infinitives” adalah sebagai berikut :

hope to, plan to, advise to, command to, compel to, encourage to, intend to, decide to, promise to, agree to, offer to, refuse to, seem to, appear to, pretend to, ask to, expect to, would like to, want to, need to, forbid to, force to, beg to, instruct to, invite to, order to, etc.
