AFFIRMATIVE DAN NEGATIVE AGREEMENT

Affirmative dan Negative Agreement

AFFIRMATIVE AGREEMENT
DEFINISI : Affirmative agreement merupakan (kesesuaian) yang digunakan ketika seseorang      
melakukan sesuatu dan menambahkan bahwa ada orang lain yang melakukan sesuatu yang sama

JENIS : Ada dua jenis affirmative agreement


Positif : yaitu kata "and" dan  "so"
Negative : yaitu kata "either" dan "neither"

Kali ini pembahasan saya hanya mengenai affirmative agreement jenis positive :)
 Ada 3 model pembahasan :
I.  When a form of the verb BE is used in the main clause, the same tense of the verb Be is used in
the simple statement that follows. Look at the following formula:
affirmative statement (be) + and + (subject + verb (be) + too
so +verb (be) + subject.
·         Iam happy, and you are too.
·         I am happy, and so are you.

II. When a compound verb (auxiliary + verb) for example, will go, should do, has done, have written,
must examine, etc, occurs in the main clause, the auxiliary of  the main verb is used in the simple
statement, and the subject and verb must agree. (Apabila dalam kalimat utama terdapat will go,
should do, has done, have written, must examine, maka auxiliary dari kalimat utama digunakan dalam
bentuk simple statement begitu juga dengan subject dan kata kerjanya).
·         affirmative statement (compound verb) + and +  {subject + auxiliary only + too}
They will work in the lab tomorrow, and you will too.
·         affirmative statement (compount verb) + and + {so + auxiliary only + subject).
They will work in the lab tomorrow, and so will you.

III. When any verb except be appears without any auxiliaries in the main clause, the auxiliary do, does
or did is used in the simple statement. The subject and verb must agree and the tense must be the
same. (Apabila pada kalimat utama ada kata kerja apa saja (kecuali be) muncul tanpa auxiliary, maka
auxiliary do, does ordid harus digunakan –  pokok dan kata kerjanya harus diselaraskan sesuai
dengan waktu yang digunakan).
·         affirmative statement (single verb except be) + and + {subject + do, does or did + too
Jane goes to that school, and my sister does too.
·         affirmative statement (single verb except be) + and + {so + do, does or did + subject).
Jane goes to that school, and so does my sister.
Additional examples:
·         John went to the mountains on his vacation, and we did too.
·         John went to the mountains on his vacation, and so did we
·         I will be in New Mexico in August, and they will too.
·         I will be in New Mexico in August, and so will they.
·         He has seen her plays, and the girls have too.
·         He has seen her plays, and so have the girls.
·         We are going to the movies tonight, and Suzy is too.
·         We are going to the movies tonight, and so is Suzy
·         She will wear a costume to the party, and we will too.
She will wear a contume to the party, and so will we

Negative Agreement

 Hampir sama dengan penjelasan affirmative agreement di atas, neither dan either memiliki arti yang
sama yaitu: tidak keduanya, atau kedua-duanya tidak.
 Untuk neither digunakan sebelum auxilliary verb, for example:
1. My roommate won't go, and neither will I
2. My roommate hasn't gone, and neither have I
3. My roommate doesn't go, and neither do I
4. My roommate isn't going, and neither am I

Dan untuk either digunakan setelah auxilliary verb dan kata "not", for example:
1. My roommate won't go, and I won't(will not) either
2. My roommate hasn't gone, and I haven't either
3. My roommate doesn't go, and I don't either
4. My roommate isn't going, and I am not either

Hal lain yang harus diperhatikan yaitu untuk pemakaian tobe dan auxilliaries setelah kata "..and.."
harus sesuai dengan tobe dan auxilliaries yang digunakan di awal kalimat, seperti :
My wife is talking about it, and so am I
My wife has talked about it, and I have too
My roommate won't go, and neither will I
My roommate doesn't go, and I don't either

Contoh kalimat lainnya:


1.      The manager isn’t too happy with the project, and neither is his assistant.
2.      We can’t study in the library, and he can’t either.
3.      You didn’t pay the taxes, and they didn’t either.
4.      My brother won’t accept my father’s decision, and my sister won’t either.
5.      He doesn’t know the answer, and neither does she.

“Either” and “neither” function in simple statements much like “so” and “too” in affirmative sentences.
However, either and neither are used to indicate negative agreement. The same rules for auxiliaries,
be and do, does, or did apply.

 Negative statement + and + [ S + negative auxiliary or be + either]


 Negative statement + and + [ neither + positive auxiliary or be + S ]

 Examples:
 I didn’t see Bella this morning. Edward didn’t see Bella this morning
 I didn’t see Bella this morning and Edward didn’t either.
 I didn’t see Bella this morning and neither did Edward.
 Additional examples:
 1. The children shouldn’t take that medicine, and neither should she.
 2. We don’t plan to attend the concert, and neither do they.
 3. I don’t like tennis, and he doesn’t either.
 4. She didn’t see anyone she knew, and neither did Tim.
 5. The Yankees couldn’t play due to the bad weather, and neither could the Angels.
