Penjelasan Tata Bahasa (Grammar)
Untuk membuat pertanyaan, kita sering meletakkan kata kerja (verb) sebelum subjek. Ini disebut inversi (inversion).
Affirmative |
Question |
I am late. |
Am I late? |
I can help. |
Can I help? |
She is sleeping. |
Is she sleeping? |
We have met before. |
Have we met before? |
Jika ada kata tanya (why, what, where, how, dan sebagainya), kata itu diletakkan sebelum verb.
Question |
Question with question word |
Are you late? |
Why are you late? |
Was she there? |
When was she there? |
Can I help? |
How can I help? |
Have we met before? |
Where have we met before? |
Hal ini berlaku untuk kalimat dengan be, kalimat yang memiliki kata kerja bantu (auxiliary verbs) (misalnya They are waiting. She has finished.) dan kalimat dengan kata kerja modal (modal verbs) (can, will, should, might, dll.).
Pertanyaan Dalam Present Simple dan Past Simple
Untuk verb lainnya dalam present simple, kita menggunakan auxiliary verb do/does pada pertanyaannya.
