Alphabet

Some students are still struggling in pronouncing the
alphabet, especially the vowel sounds. It is caused by the
different phonetic between Bahasa and English. You can
find the list of alphabet and how to pronounce it below:

Article

Article are short words that come before a noun. There
are two kinds of articles used in front of noun groups;
indefinite and definite articles.
“a” or “an” is an indefinite article. Use a or an to refer to
a non‐specific, singular noun.

A book – an angel – a person – an elephant – an hour
P2TIM‐TB 2


“the” is a definite article.
Use “the” to refer to a specific singular or plural noun.
the cake in the refrigerator
the movies we saw last night
the past

Parts of Speech

There are 8 categories of words in terms of their purpose,
place, meaning, and use within the sentences. They are
nouns (kata benda), pronouns (kata ganti orang/ benda),
verbs (kata kerja), adjectives (kata sifat), adverbs (kata
keterangan), preposition (kata depan), conjunctions
(kata hubung), interjections (kata seru).

PERSONAL AND POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
Pronouns is used to replace of nouns (when
appropriate), and a pronoun operates just like a noun in
a sentence.
P2TIM‐TB 20


Example:
‘John’ visited the new construction site yesterday. Or
‘He’ visited the new construction site yesterday. etc.
‘He’ in the second sentence replace the use of the noun
John. It happens for other Personal Pronouns except
‘I/you.
Personal Pronouns Possessive Pronouns
Subject Object Adjective Possessive
possessive pronouns
I me My Mine
You You Your Yours
We Us Our Ours
They Them Their Theirs

manager. That is theirs.
That is their new office. It is his.
It is his truck.

P2TIM‐TB 22


The difference between the second person plural ‘we’
and ‘they’ is that ‘we’ means more than one person
including ‘I’ when ‘they’ means more than one person
not including ‘I’.
For example: ‘Ricky, John and I’ means ‘we’. And ‘John,
Ricky and Michele’ means ‘they’.
The difference between the third person singular ‘he’,

‘she’ and ‘it’ is that ‘he’ refers to one‐person male and
‘she’ refers to one‐person female then ‘it’ refers to one
thing.
Example: He means John. She means Martha. ‘It’ means
dog’.
Question may arise when the thing for ‘it’ is more than
one, what should it be called. If that is the case, then ‘it’
becomes ‘they’ because the thing is more than one.
