Untuk memudahkan dalam menghafalnya biasa disingkat FANBOYS.
 Arti dan contoh dalam kalimat:
a.    For yang berarti ‘karena.’
 Contoh: Imamsyah Al-Hadi always keeps the lights on, for he is afraid of sleeping in
the dark.
Kata ‘for’ lebih umum digunakan sebagai preposition/kata depan yang bermakana
‘untuk.’
Contoh:A chew is used for cutting wood.
b.   And yang berarti ‘dan.’
Contoh: My sister lives in South Sulawesi, and my brother lives in North Sulawesi.

Used to
23 Jul

Used to digunakan untuk menggambarkan kejadian yang dilakukan pada waktu

lampau atau kebiasaan yang dilakukan pada waktu lampau tapi sudah tidak terjadi
lagi di waktu sekarang. Misalnya, dulu saya biasa jalan kaki ke kantor, tapi sekarang
saya ke kantor naik mobil.  Jadi dalam bahasa Inggris kalimatnya jadi: I used to walk
to work. Contoh lain, misalnya saya dulu merokok, tapi sekarang saya sudah tidak
merokok lagi. Jadi saya bilang, I used to smoke.

Jadi, untuk membuat kalimat ini used to ditambah dengan infinitive (verb 1)

Sekarang kita buat contoh-contoh yang lain, ya?

1. He used to make his clothes by himself. Dia dulu biasa membuat pakaian
sendiri.
2. We used to see the movie every week. Dulu kami biasa nonton film seminggu
sekali.
3. Mother used to phone me three times a month. Dulu ibu biasa menelpon saya
tiga kali sebulan.
4. Mr. Stark used to come late to the office. Dulu dia biasa datang terlambat ke
kantor
5. Grandpa used to work in this office. Kakek dulu bekerja di kantor ini.

Untuk mebuat kalimat negative, Used to diubah menjadi didn’t use to.

Misalnya:

1. I didn’t use to have breakfast. Saya dulu tidak biasa sarapan.

2. He didn’t used to drink wine. Dulu dia tidak biasa minum anggur.
3. They didn’t use to go to school on foot. Dulu  mereka tidak biasa jalan kaki ke
sekolah.
4. We didn’t use to write using computer. Dulu kita tidak biasa menulis dengan
komputer.
5. My son didn’t use to play play station. Dulu anak saya tidak biasa main play
station.

Untuk membuat kalimat interrogative atau kalimat tanya, kita tinggal meletakkan
did+subject+use to+verb 1. Contohnya:

1. Did you use to share your laptop with your daughter? Apakah dulu kamu
biasa barengan laptop dengan ank perempuanmu?
2. Did she use to go to the office by bus? Apakah dulu dia biasa pergi ke kantor
naik bis?
3. Did they use to sell the house? Apakah dulu mereka biasa jual rumah?
4. Did you use to dream of me? aapakh kamu dulu memimpikanku?
 5. Did you use to visit her house? Apakah kamu dulu biasa mengunjungi
rumahnya?

Nah, itu tadi contoh-contoh kalimat yang menggunakan used to + infinitive (verb 1).
Sekarang saya punya contoh lain, saya dulu biasa menjadi tukang kayu tapi sekarang
saya menjadi guru. Nah dalam bahasa Inggrisnya kalimat ini menjadi : I used to be a
carpenter, now I am a teacher. Jadi used to juga bisa digunakan dengan
noun/adjective. Used to bisa juga digunakan dalam kalimat pasif. Misalnya:
Pertemuan ini dulu biasa diadakan di kantor. Bahasa inggrisnya: The meeting used to
be held in the office.

Contohnya:

1. I used to be a good student. Saya dulu adala siswa yang rajin

2. He used to be angry with his students when they were noughty.
3. This food used to be eaten by rich people.

Nah, itu tadi penjelasan tentang penggunaan used to. Supaya lebih mahir, silahkan
kerjakan latihan di bawah ini:

Ubahlah kalimat di bawah dengan menggunakan used to.

Contohnya: Jean played guitar >> Jean used to play guitar.

1. He took some foods from the refrigerator.

2. We never did good job.
3. I was the leader of the class.
4. Her apartment was on the first floor of this building.

menanyakan tentang pilihan (preferences). Contohnya:

“I prefer living with my uncle”. (Saya lebih memilih tinggal bersama paman saya)

“Would you prefer to watch a movie or go to a mall”? (Kamu lebih memilih

Contoh kalimat di atas memiliki arti yang sedikit berbeda, ini merupakan alasan
mengapa pelajar bahasa inggris sering mengalami kesusahan. Silahkan perhatikan
perbedaan penggunaan preferences di bawah ini:

1. Perbedaan Pada Arti:

Kita cenderung menggunakan kata “prefer” untuk membicarakan tentang kesukaan,

tidak suka, dan apa yang kita inginkan, contohnya:

“He prefers reading a magazine”. (Dia lebih suka membaca majalah)

“I prefer going to the beach than going to a swimming pool”. (Saya lebih suka pergi
ke pantai daripada pergi ke kolam renang)

Sedangkan untuk penggunaan kata “would prefer” dan “would rather”, digunakan

lebih spesifik, contohnya:

“I would prefer to see him personally.” (Saya lebih baik menemui dia secara
pribadi)
“I would rather go home now.” (Saya lebih baik pulang sekarang)

2. Perbedaan Pada Bentuk Kata Kerjanya:

“I prefer living in a town”. (Diikuti gerund, menggunakan akhiran “-ing”)

“I would prefer to be told the truth”.(Diikuti oleh infinitive, menggunakan “to +

Verb 1”)

“Would you rather stay at an apartment”? (Diikuti oleh bentuk dasar dari verb (kata
kerja)/ Verb 1 tanpa “to”)

3. Perbedaan penggunaan Preposition (Prepoisi) untuk menentukan

pilihan:

“Prefer” dan “would prefer” diikuti oleh preposisi “to”, contohnya:

“I prefer living in a town to living in the village”.

“I would rather being alone to being with the wrong person”.

“Would rather” diikuti oleh preposisi “than”, contohnya:
