Tipe Kalimat Pengandaian dalam Bahasa Inggris

Kalimat pengandaian (conditional sentence) adalah kalimat untuk mengandaikan suatu hal yang belum terjadi,
tidak terjadi, atau sudah terjadi. Kalimat ini terdiri dari dua bagian, yaitu klausa bebas (independent clause) yang
menjadi induk kalimat dan klausa if (anak kalimat) yang memiliki peryataan pengandaian.

Klausa bebas adalah klausa yang berdiri sendiri karena mempunyai arti lengkap, sedangkan klausa if adalah klausa
yang tidak dapat berdiri sendiri karena artinya tidak lengkap (dependent clause) yang diawali if.
Jika Anda masih bingung dengan kedua klausa ini, perhatikan contoh kalimat berikut.
If I were Jokowi, I will select honest ministers. [Jika saya Jokowi, saya akan memilih menteri-menteri yang jujur.]
 If I were Jokowi = klausa if
 I will select honest ministers = klausa bebas/induk kalimat
Dalam bahasa Inggris, ada 3 tipe kalimat pengandaian, yaitu:
1. Kalimat pengandaian tipe I
Kalimat pengandaian tipe I menyatakan pengandaian yang mungkin terjadi. Pola kalimat pengandaian tipe
ini: klausa if dalam waktu sekarang (simple present, present continuous, dan present perfect) dan klausa bebas
dalam bentuk simple present atau simple future.
Contoh:
1. If you are ready, we can begin the test. [Jika Anda siap, kita dapat mulai ujian ini.]
2. If I have much spare time, I will watch the Mahabarata series. [Jika saya punya banyak waktu luang, saya
akan menonton serial Mahabarata.]
3. If he has received my email, he will come to work early tomorrow. [Jika dia telah menerima email saya, dia
besok akan datang bekerja lebih awal.]
4. If she is cooking dinner now, she won’t want to go out to dinner with us. [Jika dia sedang memasak makan
malam sekarang, dia tidak akan mau keluar makan malam bersama kita.]
5. If my car doesn’t start, I will call a tow truck man. [Jika mobil saya tidak hidup, saya akan menelepon
seorang petugas truk derek.]
6. If I pass  the exam, my mother will be very happy. [Jika saya lulus ujian, ibuku akan sangat senang.]
Keterangan:
 Contoh a): klausa if = simple present, klausa bebas= simple present
 Contoh b): klausa if = simple present, klausa bebas = simple future
 Contoh c): klausa if = present perfect tense, klausa bebas = simple future
 Contoh d): klausa if = present continuous, klausa bebas = simple future
 Contoh e): klausa if = simple present, klausa bebas = simple future
 Contoh f): klausa if = simple present, klausa bebas = simple future
2. Kalimat pengandaian tipe II
Kalimat pengandaian tipe II menyatakan pengandaian yang tidak mungkin terjadi karena bertentangan dengan
kenyataan sekarang. Tipe kalimat pengandaian ini memiliki pola: klausa if dalam waktu lampau (simple
past atau past continuous) dan klausa bebas mengandung would atau could.
Contoh:
 If I were a Spiderman, I would protect the world. [Jika saya Spiderman, saya akan melindungi dunia.]
 If I had a million dollars, I would use the money to buy luxury cars. [Jika saya punya satu juta dolar, saya
akan menggunakan uang itu untuk membeli mobil-mobil mewah.]
 If I were you, I would stop smoking. [Jika saya kamu, saya akan berhenti merokok.]

23 | P a g e
  If your car was working, you could pick up Maya at airport. [Jika mobil Anda sedang baik, Anda dapat
menjemput Maya di bandara.]
3. Kalimat pengandaian tipe III
Kalimat pengandaian tipe III menyatakan pengandaian yang tidak mungkin terjadi karena waktunya sudah berlalu
(menyatakan penyesalan). Pola kalimat pengandaian tipe ini adalah klausa if dalam bentuk past
perfect dan klausa bebas mengandung would + have + verb 3.
Contoh:
 If you had called me earlier, I would have attended your party first. [Jika Anda menghubungiku lebih awal,
saya akan menghadiri pesta Anda terlebih dahulu.]
 If Maya had met Andri at that concert, she would have confessed her love. [Jika Maya bertemu Andri di
konser itu, dia akan mengakui cintanya.]
 If I had finished high school, I would have gotten a better job. [Jika saya tamat SMU, saya akan
mendapatkan pekerjaan yang lebih baik.]
 If we had left home earlier, we would have arrived on time. [Jika kita meninggalkan rumah lebih awal, kita
akan tiba tepat waktu.]
 If you had paid attention to the traffic, you would not have had an accident. [Jika Anda memperhatikan lalu
lintas, Anda tidak akan mengalami kecelakaan.]
Catatan:
Klausa bebas/induk kalimat dalam kalimat pengandaian dapat ditempatkan sebelum klausa if. Perhatikan contoh
kalimat berikut.
 If I pass  the exam, my mother will be very happy. [Jika saya lulus ujian, ibuku akan sangat senang.]
 My mother will be very happy if I pass the exam. [Ibuku akan sangat senang jika saya lulus ujian.]

PENGERTIAN DAN CONTOH DERIVATION
 

Sebagian besar kata dalam bahasa Inggris adalah bentuk yang paling sederhana atau hanya terdiri dari single
root, sehingga tidak dapat diuraikan lagi. Contoh dari bentuk tersebut adalah house, study, fast, type, write, inform,
hard, dll. Adapun sebagian kata lainnya merupakan turunan atau hasil derivation. Derivation adalah suatu proses
pembentukan kata melalui penambahan imbuhan (affix), yang dapat berupa awalan (preffix) dan/atau akhiran
(suffix). Kata baru yang dihasilkan akan memiliki makna yang berbeda dari kata dasarnya.
BEBERAPA CONTOH DERIVATION
 

Postgraduate (pasca sarjana) = post (prefix) + graduate (root)

Activity (aktivitas) = active (root)  + ity (suffix)

Interchangeable  (dapat bertukar tempat) = inter (prefix) + change (root) + able(suffix)

CONTOH KATA TURUNAN DARI KATA INFORM

 

Berikut contoh kata turunan dari kata inform (menginformasikan) (kata kerja/ verb) dan active (aktif) (kata
sifat/ adjective) :

 +  ‘-ation’  = Information  (informasi) menjelaskan (noun)

 +  ‘-ative’ = Informative (informatif) menjelaskan (adjective)
 +  ‘--ative’ dan ‘-ly’ = Informatively (secara informatif) menjelaskan (adverb)
 +  ‘--ate’  = Activate (mengaktifkan) menjelaskan (verb)
 +  ‘-ation’  = Activation (aktivasi) menjelaskan (noun)
 +  ‘-ly’  = Actively (secara aktif) menjelaskan (adverb)
MACAM-MACAM DERIVATION
 Derivation memiliki empat macam pada part of speech, yaitu :
26 | P a g e
1. Noun derivation , contohnya :
 Freedom  (kebebasan) = free (root) + dom (suffix)
 Imagination (imajinasi/ khayalan) = imagine (root) + ation (suffix)
2. Adjective derivation, contohnya :
 Talkative (senang berbicara) = talk  (root) + ative (suffix)
 Friendly  (bersahabat) = friend (root) + ly (suffix)
3. Verb derivation, contohnya :
 Endanger  (membahayakan) = en (prefix) + danger (root)
 Validate  (mensahkan) = valid  (root) + ate (suffix)
4. Adverb derivation, contohnya :
 Away  (pergi) = a (prefix) + way (root)
 Backward (mundur) =  back  (root) + ward (suffix)

2. Comparative adalah membandingkan dua atau lebih orang atau sesuatu yang mempunyai kualitas kerja
atau sifat yang tidak sama, dimana salah satunya lebih jika dibanding yang lainnya.
29 | P a g e

2. Pengecualian:

Perhaps no single phenomenon brought more widespread and lasting change to the
United States society than the rise of industrialization. Industrial growth hinged on several
10） economic factors. First, industry requires an abundance of natural resources, especially
45 | P a g e
 coal, iron ore, water, petroleum, and timber-all readily available on the North American
continent. Second, factories demand a large labor supply. Between the 1870’s and the
First World War (1914-1918), approximately 23 million immigrants streamed to the
United States, settled in cities, and went to work in factories and mines. They also helped
15）build the vast network of canals and railroads that crisscrossed the continent and linked
important trade centers essential to industrial growth.
Factories also offered a reprieve from the backbreaking work and financial
unpredictability associated with farming. Many adults, poor and disillusioned with
farm life, were lured to the cities by promises of steady employment, regular paychecks,
20) increased access to goods and services, and expanded social opportunities. Others were
pushed there when new technologies made their labor cheap or expendable; inventions
such as steel plows and mechanized harvesters allowed one farmhand to perform work
that previously had required several, thus making farming capital-intensive rather than
labor-intens
States economy underwent a massive transition and the nature of work
was permanently altered. Whereas cottage industries relied on a few highly skilled craft
workers who slowly and carefully converted raw materials into finished products from
start to finish, factories relied on specialization. While factory work was less creative and
more monotonous, it was also more efficient and allowed mass production of goods at
less expense.

Question 11-20
Molting is one of the most involved processes of a bird’s annual life cycle.
upon close observation, one can recognize the frayed, ragged appearance of feathers that
are nearing the end of their useful life. Two distinct processes are involved in molting.
The first step is when the old, worn feather is dropped, or shed. The second is when a new
feather grows in its place. When each feather has been shed and replaced, then the molt
can be said to be complete. This, however, is an abstraction that often does not happen:
incomplete, overlapping, and arrested molts are quite common.
Molt requires that a bird find and process enough protein to rebuild approximately
one-third of its body weight. It is not surprising that a bird in heavy molt often seems
listless and unwell. But far from being random, molt is controlled by strong evolutionary
forces that have established an optimal time and duration. Generally, molt occurs at the
time of least stress on the bird. Many songbirds, for instance, molt in late summer, when
the hard work of breeding is done but the weather is still warm and food still plentiful.
This is why the woods in late summer often seem so quiet, when compared with the
Exuberant choruses of spring.
Molt of the flight feathers is the most highly organized part of the process. Some species,
for example, begin by dropping the outermost primary feathers on each side (to retain
balance in the air) and wait until the replacement feathers are about one-third grown before
shedding the next outermost, and so on. Others always start with the innermost primary
feathers and work outward. Yet other species begin in the middle and work outward on both
weeks while the replacement feathers grow.

Question 21-30
The Harlem Renaissance, a movement of the 1920’s, marked the twentieth century’s
first period of intense activity by African Americans in the field of literature, art, and
music in the United States. The philosophy of the movement combined realism, ethnic
Line consciousness, and Americanism. Encouraged by the example of certain Americans
5) of European descent such as Thomas Eakins, Robert Henri, and George Luks, who had
included persons of African descent in their paintings as serious studies rather than as
trivial or sentimental stereotypes, African American artists of this period set about
creating a new portrayal of themselves and their lives in the United States. As they began
to strive for social and cultural independence. Their attitudes toward themselves changed,
10) and, to some extent, other segments of American society began to change their attitudes
toward them. Thus, thought the Harlem Renaissance was a short-lived movement, its
impact on American art and culture continues to the present.
The district in New York City know as Harlem was the capital of the movement.
In 1925 an issue of Survey Graphic magazine devoted exclusively to Harlem and edited
15) by philosopher Alain Locke became the manifesto of the African American artistic
movement. Locke strongly suggested that individuals, while accepting their Americanism,
take pride in their African ancestral arts and urged artists to look to Africa for substance
and inspiration. Far from advocating a withdrawal from American culture, as did some of
his contemporaries, Locke recommended a cultural pluralism through which artists could
49 | P a g e
20) enrich the culture of America. African Americans were urged by Locke to be collaborators
and participators with other Americans in art, literature, and music; and at the same time
to preserve, enhance, and promote their own cultural heritage.

50 | P a g e
 Artists and intellectuals from many parts of the United States and the Caribbean had
Been attracted to Harlem by the pulse and beat of its unique and dynamic culture. From
25) this unity created by the convergence of artists from various social and geographical
backgrounds came a new spirit, which, particularly in densely populated Harlem, was
to result in greater group awareness and self-determination. African American graphic
artists took their place beside the poets and writers of the Harlem Renaissance and
carried on efforts to increase and promote the visual

Questions 41-50
There are only a few clues in the rock record about climate in the Proterozoic con.
Much of our information about climate in the more recent periods of geologic history
comes from the fossil record, because we have a reasonably good understanding of
Line the types of environment in which many fossil organisms flourished. The scarce fossils
5) of the Proterozoic, mostly single-celled bacteria, provide little evidence in this regard.
However, the rocks themselves do include the earliest evidence for glaciation, probably
a global ice age.
The inference that some types of sedimentary rocks are the result of glacial activity
is based on the principle of uniformitarianism, which posits that natural processes now
10) at work on and within the Earth operated in the same manner in the distant past. The
deposits associated with present-day glaciers have been well studied, and some of their
characteristics are quite distinctive. In 2.3-billion-year-old rocks in Canada near Lake
Huron (dating from the early part of the Proterozoic age), there are thin laminae of
52 | P a g e
 fine-grained sediments that resemble varves, the annual layers of sediment deposited in
15) glacial lakes. Typically, present-day varves show two-layered annual cycle, one layer
corresponding to the rapid ice melting and sediment transport of the summer season, and
the other, finer-grained, layer corresponding to slower winter deposition. Although it is
not easy to discern such details in the Proterozoic examples, they are almost certainly
glacial varves. These fine-grained, layered sediments even contain occasional large
20) pebbles or “dropstones,” a characteristic feature of glacial environments where coarse
material is sometimes carried on floating ice and dropped far from its source, into
otherwise very fine grained sediment. Glacial sediments of about the same age as those
in Canada have been found in other parts of North America and in Africa, India, and
Europe. This indicates that the glaciation was global, and that for a period of time in
25) the early Proterozoic the Earth was gripped in an ice age.
Following the early Proterozoic glaciation, however, the climate appears to have
Been fairly benign for a very long time. There is no evidence for glaciation for the
Next 1.5 billion years or so. Then, suddenly, the rock record indicates a series of
Glacial episodes between about 850 and 600 million year ago, near the end of the
Proterozoic con.
