ask anything about english grammar

amanjayaraya

disini tempat kamu share pertanyaan ataupun ilmu kamu di bidang bahasa inggris, kadang kita bingung dg grammar, makanya aku bikin thread ini buat sharing kalau2 ada yg kita gk ngerti biar bisa dibahas sama2.

#mulai dari gw, kadang gw bingung, yg bener itu "appearance does matter" atau "appearance is matter", soalnya sering denger istilah "size does matter"
(asumsi gw, pemakaian kata "does" disitu karna arti yg dimaksud "ukuran memang memberi perbedaan" tapi gk tau bner gk)


#yg kdua, gw masih bingung, yg bener itu "where is the other?" atau ?where are the other?"

other disitu pronoun singular apa plurar sih???

setau gue, *mulai soktau* baca aja dari konteks kalimatnya. saat ada kalimat "appearance is matter", yang berarti "penampilan adalah masalah", agak ganjal kan. tapi saat "appearance does matter" itu artinya "penampilan itu berpengaruh", karena kata do selain bukan hanya kata verb tapi bisa dijadikan to be yang artinya ga selalu adalah, tapi sambungan. jadi pinter pinter lo aja cari yang pas. hohohoho

Dear everyone here. I have a question that made me confuse.
What is difference between "Where are you come from?" and "Where do you come from?".
Which one is correct ?

@Wilhem kalo menurut gue are menanyakan noun, jadi bisa dijawab dengan noun juga, misalnya etnis atau origin. kalau do kan menanyakan verb, bisa dijawab kita datang dari mana. *kali

Menurut gue yang namnya auxiliary is am are was were itu di gunakan untuk mengartiksn seperti pada konteks appearance is matter di situ berarti penampilan adalah.. Sedang kata does do did di gunakan untuk melakukan suatu tindakan misalnya appearance does matter itu berarti penampilan itu menjadi masalah masalah seseorang..

kalo menurut gue 'This time wanting more @agnezmo grammy awards'

@mumura @guyberryman thanks for the help.

@guyberryman wait ! your username sound like have a meaning. guy-berry-man = (spell: guy-beri-man). so that's mean you are cowok beriman, rite? or do you have your own explanation?

GuyBerryman

@Wilhem several random people pronounce my username as 'gay beriman,' but unfortunatelly, it's the name of the most fucking georgeously sadictic fantastic coldplay's basist. lol
