Hai, topik kita kali
ini adalah PARTICIPLE. Sudah tau kan apa yang dimaksud dengan participle?
Participle dan gerund memiliki persamaan. Tapi menurut aku yang
lebih sulit adalah participle. Participle berfungsi sebagai adjectives dan gerund
berfungsi sebagai noun. Penasaran pengen tau lebih jauh? Silahkan dibaca..
READ THE FOLLOWING DIALOG.
Didi : How
was our performance last night?
Tania : It was amazing. I never thought that you all
had acting talents.
Didi : Thanks.
We just did our best.
Tania : I know that and
could see most of the audince was satisfied
with performance.
Lihat kata yang
bercetak tebal. Kata “amazing”
disebut Present Participle,
sedangkan kata “satisfied” disebut Past Participle.
Jadi, dari contoh
dialog di atas kita sudah mengetahui bahwa PARTICIPLE fungsinya memang sebagai
adjectives. Pertanyaan nya sekarang apa yang dimaksud dengan adjectives?
Adjective adalah kata sifat (dibaca:ajektip). Contohnya: Pretty.
Pretty adalah suatu kata sifat.
Oleh karena itu PARTICIPLE disebut juga noun modifier. Contoh noun modifier:
·
Running boy
looks very tired.
·
Singing bird
will be solid.
Participle dibagi menjadi
2 yaitu
1.
Present participle
2.
Past participle

Participles generally
come before the noun they modity. They may also be linked to the subject of the
sentences by a linking verb such as to
be or to feel.
Examples:
The
park is a frightening place at
night.
Steve
felt frightened as he walked alone
in the park at night.
