Kalimat Nominal dan Verbal

Kalimat Nominal dan Verbal-Tidak seperti bahasa Indonesia, jenis kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris dibagi menjadi 2 yaitu; 

kalimat nominal dan kalimat verbal.

Kalimat Nominal adalah kalimat yang unsur kata kerjanya melibatkan kata kerja be (is, am, are, was, were, been dan being) yang harus digabung dengan 3 komplement (3 complements) yaitu; adjective, noun dan adverb. Sehingga kata kerja be tidak kita jumpai didalam sistem bahasa lndonesia, maka jenis kalimat didalam bahasa Indonesia itu sendiri hanya satu, yaitu kalimat verbal.

Contoh kalimat nominal didalam bahasa lnggris;

PRESENT 

-He is happy 

-She is at school

-They are students

-We are at home, ect

PAST

-He was happy

-I was sick 

-She was at school

-They were students

-We were at home, ect

PRESENT PERFECT

-He has been happy

-l have been sick

-She has been a nurse

-They have been drivers, ect

PAST PERFECT

-He had been happy

-He had been a teacher

-She had been a nurse

-They had been drivers, ect

PRESENT FUTURE

-He will be a doctor 

-They will be drivers

-She will be at home

-I will be happy

-We will be dilligent, ect

PAST FUTURE

-He would be a soldier

-They would be our member

-She would be at home

-I would be happy

-We would be diligent, ect.

Kalimat Verbal adalah kalimat yang memisahkan unsur kata kerja be dengan tiga complement-nya. jadi, ada be tidak ada 3 complement atau ada 3 Complement tapi tidak ada kata kerja be juga dinamakan kalimat verbal.

Contoh;

-He is eating (ada be yaitu is dan eating bukan 3 complement)

-You look sad (look bukan be dan sad adalah 3 complement).
