In
study english we must have a desire or we can call it “will”. “Will” is decided into two attitudes,
the trust and positive
thinking. We must think that many of the benefits can we get from learning
English.
English is us. We are the actor from all activity
that we do. The teacher will not give us
knowledge, but ourselves
must seek that knowledge.
One of the way of learning English
is reading Mr. Marsigit’s blog, and than we will be able to rewrite
the material with our own words.
Language
is life. So there are characteristic of life, for example speaking, writing,
hearing, translating, reflecting, recording, answering the question, looking
for difficult word, and collecting verb. To understand
the language, we must implement it in our daily life. So, starting
from now, we must try speaking in English and write everything that we think in
English. That’s the key to learn a language.
There
are many rules in english. Sentences in English can be changed of form based on the time. So tenses mastery is essential to
implement good and
right English. There are important something to understand
about english, for example structure, grammar, tenses, noun, adjective,
adverb, preposition, and idiom:
Ø Tenses
A. Present
1. Simple
present tense, for example: I read your message.
2. Simple present continous tense, for example:
I’m reading your message
3. Simple
present perfect tense, for example: I have read your message.
4. Simple present perfect continous tense, for
example: I have been reading your message.
B. Past
1. Simple
Past tense, for example: I read your message.
2. Simple
Past continous tense, for example: I was reading your message.
3. Simple
Past perfect tense, for example: I had read your message.
4. Simple

C. Future
1. Simple
future tense, for examle: I will read your message.
2. Simple
Future continous tense, for example: I will be reading your message.
3. Simple
future perfect tense, for example: I will have read your message
4. Simple
future perfect continous tense, for example: I will have been reading your
message.
Ø Idiom
Ex: “let” in indonesian
is “biarkan”, but “don’t let me down” in Indonesian is “jangan kecewakan saya”,
not “jangan biarkan saya turun”.
Ø Verbs are divided into two, that
is regular verbs and irregular verbs
The example of regular
verb is allow, enjoy, grab, injure, etc.
The example of
irregular verb is: buy, write, find, build, cut, etc.
Ø Adjective
Adjective use very
simple rule. We can use linking verb.
Ex:
clever, cleverer, cleverest
Beautiful, more
beautiful, most beautiful
Difficult, more
difficult, most difficult.
Ø Diffrence
to and too
Example:
Too much to do =
terlalu banyak untuk dikerjakan
Too high to climb=
terlalu tinggi untuk dipanjat
Ø If
there are two verbs in a sentence, we can use to infinitive or _ing form. Ex:
Stop smoking = berhenti
merokok
Stop to smooke=
berhenti untuk merokok
So we can
conclude that one of way to
collecting vocabs and understanding grammar is reading articles and then reflecting it on our own words. However, the most important is that we must implement
English in our daily life. “English is you and the language is life.”
