SKILL 16 INVERT THE SUBJECT AND VERB WITH PLACE EXPRESSIONS (Membalikkan Subjek dan Kata

Kerja dengan Pernyataan Tempat)

Di dalam bahasa Inggris, subjek dan kata kerja terkadang dibalik jika berada setelah kata pernyataan
tempat, seperti here, there, atau nowhere.

Here is the book that you lent me.

(Disini adalah buku yang kamu pinjami untukku)

There are the keys that I thought I lost.

(Disana adalah kunci-kunci yang saya kira hilang)

Nowhere have! seen such beautiful weather.

(Tidak dimanapun ada saya lihat cuaca indah seperti itu)

Dari contoh pertama, kata tempat here menyebabkan kata book berada setelah kata kerja is.
Contoh kedua, kata tern pat there menyebabkan kata keys berada setelah kata kerja are.

Contoh ketiga, kata tern pat nowhere menyebabkan subjek “I” berada setelah kata have.

Jadi,jika dilihat dan asal kalimatnya adalah seperti ini:

The book is that you lent me. => (inverted) Here is the book that you lent me.
The keys are that I thought I lost. => (inverted) There are the keys that I thought I lost.
I have seen such beautiful weather. => (inverted) Nowhere have I seen such beautiful weather.

Subjek dan kata kerja bisa juga dibalik jika berada setelah kata depan frase pernyataan ternpat.

LATIHAN 16: Setiap kalimat berikut berisi ekspresi tempat di awal kalimat. Lingkari ekspresi tempat.
Perhatikan klausa yang mengikuti ekspresi tempat dan garis bawahi subjek satu kali dan kata kerja
dua kali. Kemudian tunjukkan apakah kalimatnya benar (C) atau salah (I).
