phrasal verb

Phrasal verbs merupakan pengetahuan yang menyebabkan banyak kesulitan bagi orang yang belajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa kedua karena jumlahnya yang banyak, semantik dan tata bahasanya yang beragam, serta ketidakteraturannya. Selain itu, pelajar seringkali merasa kewalahan dengan banyaknya metode belajar bahasa Inggris, sehingga mereka tidak tahu metode mana yang tepat untuk mereka.

Apa itu phrasal verb?

Phrasal verb adalah kelompok kata yang berfungsi sebagai kata kerja dalam suatu kalimat dan terdiri dari kata kerja yang diikuti oleh preposisi dan/atau kata keterangan.

Preposisi dan kata keterangan ini disebut juga dengan partikel, yaitu kata-kata yang mempunyai fungsi gramatika tetapi tidak termasuk dalam kelompok kata inti dan tidak dapat berubah bentuknya.

PHRASAL VERB = VERB + PARTICLE (PREPOSITION/ADVERB)

Contoh:

  • Go up = kata kerja “go” + partikel “up” (meningkat).
  • Cut back on = kata kerja “cut” + partikel “back” + partikel“on” (mengurangi)

Ciri-ciri phrasal verb

Ciri-ciri phrasal verb ditinjau dari segi tata bahasa

Kalau ditinjau dari segi tata bahasa, phrasal verb dapat dibedakan atas 2 kelompok utama: 

  • Transitive phrasal verbs yang memiliki objek langsung 

Contoh: I told him to leave, but he just won’t go away. (Aku menyuruhnya pergi, tapi dia tidak mau pergi.)

  • Intransitive phrasal verbs yang tidak memiliki objek langsung 

Contoh: Yesterday John got into an argument with his wife. (Kemarin John terlibat pertengkaran dengan istrinya.)

Selain itu, transitive phrasal verbs juga dapat dibagi menjadi dua kelompok kecil: 

Separable phrasal verbs yang dapat dipisahkan oleh objek. Objek ini dapat diletakkan di tengah atau setelah phrasal verbs.

Contoh: 

  • She puts down my name. (Dia menuliskan namaku.)
  • She puts my name down.

Inseparable phrasal verbs yang tidak dapat dipisahkan oleh objek. Objek ini hanya dapat diletakkan di setelah phrasal verbs.

  • Sarah bumped into the wall. (Sarah menabrak dinding)
  • Sarah bumped the wall into. (SALAH)

  • He was completely taken in by my lie. (Dia benar-benar tertipu oleh kebohonganku).
