Untuk Pembelajaran selanjutnya…

Artikel ini membicarakan tentang simple sentence atau kalimat tunggal. Sebelum membahas detail tentang kalimat tunggal, kita akan jelaskan dulu tentang kalimat (sentence) secara umum. Satu hal penting, dengan memahami tata kalimat, kita bisa dengan mudah membuat teks adah bacaan. Sentence atau kalimat adalah unsur gramatikal yang menyusun sebuah wacana text (text discourse). Berikut ini adalah syarat-syarat sebuah kalimat (sentence):

  1. Sebuah kalimat (sentence) terdiri dari satu ide/gagasan atau lebih.
  2. Secara stuktur, sebuah kalimat (sentence) minimal terdiri dari satu klausa (Subject + Predicate)
  3. Antara satu kalimat dengan kalimat lainnya (sentences relations) bisa dihubungkan dengan kata hubung (conjunction).

Secara teori, ada dua aspek yang menyusun sebuah kalimat: frasa (phrase) dan klausa (clause). Sebuah klausa yang bisa berdiri sendiri bisa disebut kalimat (sentence), termasuk di dalamnya simple sentence atau kalimat tunggal atau bisa juga disebut klausa utama (main clause) sedangkan klausa yang tidak bisa berdiri sendiri disebut anak klausa (dependent/bound clause)

Perhatikan perbandingan dua klausa berikut!

  1. Main clause/sentence
    1. Justine swept the back floor yesterday
    2. I was too frightened with that movie
    3. Our God can save us in the worst situation
  2. Bound/dependent clause
    1. ______________because they collect the ancient coins
    2. After she had provocated her rival in the media, _____________
    3. ______________that I have been elected to be the vice director 

Keterangan:

  1. Ketiga klausa di bagian A disebut klausa utama atau kita bisa langsung sebut itu kalimat. Masing-masing dari ketiga kalimat mengandung satu gagasan utama dan bisa berdiri sendiri (independent) tanpa adanya kehadiran klausa lain. Tiga kalimat di bagian A bisa juga kita sebut simple sentence atau kalimat tunggal.
  2. Ketiga klausa di bagian B disebut anak klausa (dependent clause) atau klausa terikat (bound clause) karena keberadaannya membutuhkan kehadiran klausa utama (main clause).

Simple Sentence (Kalimat Tunggal)

Definisi

Kalimat tunggal (simple sentence) adalah kalimat yang terdiri dari minimal satu subjek (subject) dan satu predikat (predicate). Supaya lebih paham, perhatikan contoh berikut:

Contoh:

  1. Revalina endorses her friend’s beauty products.

    subject predicate   object

    (Revalina mengiklankan produk-produk kecantikan temannya)

  2. The orator was asked to leave the dais

    subject     predicate    complement

    (Si orator diminta untuk meninggalkan mimbar)

Jenis-jenis (types)

Kalimat tunggal atau simple sentence dibagi menjadi beberapa jenis: verbal, adjectival, nominal, prepositional/adverbial, numeral, dan pronoun.
