Hello Kaum Berotak! Siapa yang tidak pernah merasa kesulitan dalam memahami tenses dalam bahasa Inggris? Kita pasti pernah mengalami kesulitan dalam membedakan tenses masa lalu, masa kini, dan masa depan. Namun, dengan memahami rumus infinitive, kamu bisa dengan mudah menguasai tenses bahasa Inggris tanpa perlu memaksakan diri untuk menghafal banyak aturan tenses.
Sebelum membahas lebih jauh tentang rumus infinitive, mari kita bahas terlebih dahulu apa itu infinitive. Infinitive adalah bentuk kata kerja yang paling dasar dan tidak berubah-ubah. Dalam bahasa Inggris, infinitive terdiri dari kata kerja dalam bentuk dasar (bare infinitive) dan kata kerja dalam bentuk to (to-infinitive).
Bare infinitive adalah bentuk dasar kata kerja yang tidak diikuti oleh kata to. Contohnya adalah kata kerja seperti go, do, eat, sleep, dan lain sebagainya. Sedangkan, to-infinitive adalah bentuk kata kerja yang diikuti oleh kata to. Contohnya adalah kata kerja seperti to go, to do, to eat, to sleep, dan lain sebagainya.
Sekarang, mari kita bahas tentang rumus infinitive. Rumus infinitive sangat sederhana, yaitu:
Bare infinitive: kata kerja dasar
Contoh:
– I eat breakfast every morning.
– She sings beautifully.
– They dance every Saturday night.
To-infinitive: to + kata kerja dasar
Contoh:
– I want to eat breakfast every morning.
– She loves to sing beautifully.
– They plan to dance every Saturday night.
Dari rumus infinitive tersebut, kamu bisa membangun bentuk-bentuk tenses lainnya. Misalnya, bentuk present continuous, present perfect, past continuous, past perfect, future continuous, dan future perfect. Dengan memahami rumus infinitive, kamu bisa dengan mudah membuat kalimat dalam berbagai tenses.
