CHAPTER 1
Talking about self

Learning Objectives

After completed this chapter, students will be able to:


 Students are able to say their own identity in English.

Self-Introduction
Self-introduction is used to describe oneself to other people. It reveals your
general information that people need to know. Asking for and giving information about
yourself require the following manners. You must have to be polite
 You must not ask too many personal questions as those are meant to be private.
Asking for private information is considered impolite and may lead the two
speakers into an uncomfortable term.
 You have to keep your self-introduction simple. There is no need to tell
unnecessary things. The other speaker may think that you talk too much.
1. Expressions of introducing.
Introducing oneself Introducing others
 Let me introduce myself. My name  I’d like to introduce you to …
is ….  I’d like you to meet ….
 I’d like to introduce myself. I am ….  Let me introduce you to ….
 Hello, My name is ….  This is … ( Jane )

2. Example of Self Introduction.


Let me introduce myself. My name is Salsabila Renata. You can call me Salsa.

To learn more about Understanding, Types, Examples and Use of Numbers in English

2.1. Cardinal Numbers


A Cardinal Number is a number or number that tells how many (how many)
something or objects, such as one, two, three, four, five.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as
lizards (the scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along.
Snakes are not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin.
Their skin is hard and glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.

cold-blooded; they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water,
but most live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old
logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The
Anaconda can eat small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves
with their fangs. Some snakes are protected by scaring their enemies away like the
Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin
stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar gliders.

Ant-eaters are perhaps the most curious looking animals.
Their long head and snout look like tubes, and they have no teeth at all. Their front
legs are very strong and armed with heavy curved claws with which they break open
the nets of ants and termites and then, when the insects rush out, use their long, sticky
tongues to lick them up at great speed.
True ant-eaters are found in the swamps and forests of central and South America.
Scaly ant-eaters, or pangolins, are found in Africa and tropical Asia.
Various other insect-eating animals are sometimes called ant-eaters, although they
really belong to other groups of animals. One of them is the ant-bear, which lives on
the plains of South and Central Africa. This has long, erect ears but short blunt claws,
an almost hairless tail, yellow brown in color. Unlike the true ant-eaters, it has small
teeth.

2. Simple Present
2.1. Definition
Simple Present Tense is a form of tense used to describe something that is
happening now (present) at a specific time. Because it happens at the
present time, you must use the first verb (verb 1) in the sentence structure.
2.2. Pattern.
Form Formula of Simple Present Tense Example
· Subject + verb 1 (+ s/es) + object · I use social media
(+) · Subject + to be (am/is/are) + adjective/adverb · She is very polite and kind

· Subject + do/does not + verb 1 + … · They do not use social


· Subject + to be (am/is/are) + not + media
(-) adjective/adverb · She is not very polite and
kind

· Do/does + subject + verb 1 + object? · Does he use social


· To be (am/is/are) + subject + adjective/adverb? media?
(?)
· Is she polite and kind?

2.3. Subject Verb agreement


Even though the formula looks straightforward, many simple tense users
aren't careful with the subject-verb agreement on the sentences they use.
The subject-verb agreement is the terms for the placement of the subject
and the verb that follows. For the simple present tense, the subject-verb
agreement that must be followed is as follows:
I / You / We / They He / She / It
· Untuk kalimat positif, kata kerja tidak · Untuk kalimat positif, kata kerja diikuti
diikuti imbuhan s/es. imbuhan s/es.
Contoh Kalimat: Contoh Kalimat:

I go to school He goes to school

26
Module I English for Nursing

· Untuk kalimat negatif, do not atau · Untuk kalimat negatif, does not atau
don’t digunakan sebelum kata kerja. doesn’t digunakan sebelum kata kerja.

Contoh: Contoh:

We do not attend class together He does not attend class with me

· Untuk kalimat interogatif, kata do · Untuk kalimat interogatif, does


mengawali kalimat. mengawali kalimat.

Contoh: Contoh:

Do you finish your homework? Does she finish your homework?

Untuk kalimat yang menggunakan to be, bentuk harus selalu dalam present
tense, yaitu is / am / are, yang pastinya mengikuti subjeknya.

Note: Of course we don't want to make this mistake that should be so avoidable.
Therefore, the subject-verb agreement must be considered carefully when using the
simple present tense.

2.4. Use of the Simple Present Tense


We already know the definition and formula of the simple present tense. To
be able to use it properly, we must also be able to understand its use, which
is as follows:

terhadapnya, tetapi dokter menolak permintaannya)
B: So? (Jadi?)
A: Isn’t the doctor cruel? I mean, the man just wanted to end his suffering, but he
refused to help him. (Dokternya jahat, ya? Maksudku, pria itu hanya ingin mengakhiri
penderitaannya, tetapi dia menolak menolongnya)
B: In my opinion, the doctor isn’t cruel. (Menurutku dokternya tidak jahat)
A: Why? (Mengapa?)
B: It’s because I don’t support euthanasia. (Itu karena aku tidak mendukung
eutanasia)
A: And why is it? (Mengapa?)
B: Euthanasia is an assisted suicide. I know that the patient requested it to end his
pain and suffering, but death isn’t the right solution to that. He has to survive and
continue his life, and let death come naturally. (Eutanasia adalah bunuh diri yang
dibantu. Aku tahu bahwa pasien memintanya untuk mengakhiri rasa sakit dan
penderitaannya, tetapi kematian bukanlah solusi yang tepat. Dia harus bertahan dan
melanjutnya hidupnya, dan biarkan kematian datang secara alami)
A: But what if he really couldn’t stand his pain? (Tetapi bagaimana jika dia benar-benar
tidak bisa menahan rasa sakitnya?)
B: Yes, he could. God won’t test him beyond his capabilities. (Dia pasti bisa. Tuhan
tidak akan mengujinya di luar kemampuannya)
A: Oh, I see your point. (Oh, aku paham maksudmu)

After completed this chapter, students will be able to:

 Students are able to master questions with short answers to yes or no questions.
 Students are able to master and understand the use and differences of the Tanya
sentence in an interrogative sentence.

1. Yes / No Question
1.1. Definition of Yes / No Question?
Yes-No Questions are questions in English that only require Yes or No
answers (Yes or No). Yes-No questions can also be called closed questions,
because without further explanation of the information, the questioner will
already know what is meant.

1.2. Yes-No Question formula?

Like other sentences in English, Question or question also has a formula.


So that the intention is reasonable and in accordance with the applicable
grammar rules. Here is the formula from Yes-No question.

1.3. “HELPING VERB + SUBJECT + MAIN VERB + ?”


 Helping verbs are Auxiliary Verbs (to be (am, is, are), do, have) and
Modal Auxiliaries (can, could will, would, shall, should, may, might, might)
 Subject is the doer of the sentence i, you, they, we, he, she, it, Aisha,
Rudi, Rudi and Aisha.
 Play Verb is a verb that shows actions like play, go, walk, swim, and so
on. Can also be an adjective that shows the nature.

Special Cases of Question Tag

Beberapa ketentuan khusus (special cases) dalam penggunaan question tag, diantaranya:

a. Negative words (kata negatif)

Beberapa kata berikut terlihat seperti pernyataan positif. Tetapi sesungguhnya kata-

jarang, hampir tidak, tak seorangpun. Beberapa kata tersebut, diantaranya:

– Never
– Seldom
– Hardly
– Rarely
– Barely
– Scarcely
– Nothing
– Nobody/No one

Apabila suatu pernyataan menggunakan salah satu dari kata tersebut, maka
pernyataan tersebut merupakan pernyataan negatif (negative statement). Oleh sebab
