(LIBUR PASKAH)

ELLIPTICAL CONSTRUCTION

Elliptical construction digunakan untuk menggabungkan dua kalimat yang mempunyai subyek yang berbeda tetapi kedua subyek tersebut melakukan kegiatan yang sama. Hal ini dilakukan agar tidak terjadi pengulangan kalimat.

Contoh (dalam bahasa Indonesia) :

-          Saya pergi ke sekolah naik sepeda

-          Kamu pergi ke sekolah naik sepeda

Jika digabungkan menjadi :

-          Saya pergi ke sekolah naik sepeda dan kamu juga/juga kamu

Dalam bahasa Inggris untuk menggabungkan dengan cara tersebut menggunakan kata too atau so jika kedua kalimat yang digabungkan adalah kalimat positif. Jika kalimat yang digabungkan adalah kalimat negatif maka menggunakan kata either atau neither.

Contoh pada kalimat positif :

1.       – We study English every Friday

– She studies English ecery Friday

= We study English every Friday and she does too

= We study English every Friday and so does she

2.       – They borrowed  novels at the library

– I borrowed  novels at the library

= They borrowed novels at the library and I did too

= They borrowed novels at the library and so did I

3.       – I am a footballer

– He is a footballer

= I am a footballer and  He is too

= I am a footballer and so is He

Contoh pada kalimat negatif :

1.       – You do not go to school by bike

– The boy does not go to school by bike

= You do not go to school by bike and the boy does not either

= You do not go to school by bike and neither does the boy
