UNCOUNTABLE AND COUNTABLE NOUNS

Countable noun adalah kata benda yang dianggap bisa dihitung secara langsung dan

mempunyai bentuk Singular maupun Plural. Countable noun dapat menggunakan article “a”

dan “an” dalam bentuk singularnya. Catatan penting yang perlu diperhatikan adalah, dalam
countable noun, kita bisa memakai kata “Many – Banyak” dan “A few – Sedikit”. Perhatikan

contoh berikut ini:

1. He knows many good places. (Dia tau banyak tempat bagus)

2. There are many books on the table. (Ada banyak buku diatas meja)

Uncountable noun adalah kata benda yang dianggap tidak bisa dihitung secara langsung

sehingga akan membutuhkan bantuan suatu ukuran berupa kata benda lain yang bisa dihitung

(countable noun) untuk menghitungnya. Uncountable noun pun tidak mempunyai bentuk

Plural dikarenakan memang tidak bisa dihitung dan akan selalu dianggap sebagai Singular.

Contohnya : “Water = air” dapat dibantu dengan menambahkan kata “segelas” untuk

mengukurnya, sehingga menjadi “a glass of water”. Ingat, dalam penggunaan uncountable

noun, kita dapat menggunakan kata “Much – Banyak” dan “A little – Sedikit”. Uncountable

noun tidak dapat diberi article “a” dan “an”. Berikut ini adalah daftarbeberapa kata benda

yang tidak bisa dihitung:

1. Water = Air               11. Meat = Daging                            21. Milk = Susu

2. Air = Udara              12. Chalk = Kapur                            22. Butter = Mentega

3. Sugar = Gula            13. Juice = Jus                                   23. Cotton = Kapas

4. Salt = Garam           14. Blood = Darah                            24. Rice = Nasi

5. Paper = Kertas        15. Flour = Tepung                          25. Wine = Anggur

6. Pepper = Merica    16. Bread = Roti                                26. Gasoline = Bensin

7. Coffee = Kopi          17. Chocolate = Coklat                   27. Kerosene = Minyak Tanah

8. Money = Uang        18. Toothpaste = Pasta Gigi          28. Oil = Minyak

9. Tea = The                 19. Powder = Bedak                          29. Steam = Uap

10. Vinegar = Cuka   20. Soup = Sop                                  30. Smoke = Asap

Sedikit tambahan temen-temen, kata “Some – Beberapa” dapat dipakai baik di Countable

Noun maupun Uncountable Noun. Sedangkan kata “Several – Beberapa” hanya dapat dipakai
pada Countable Noun. Sedangkan kata “Fewer – lebih sedikit” digunakan pada countable

nouns dan kata “Less – lebih sedikit” digunakan pada uncountable nouns.
 LINKING VERB

Linking verb adalah verb (kata kerja) yang menghubungkan subject (subjek kalimat) dengan

informasi atau deskripsi tentang subjek yang disebut subject complement.

Adapun subject complement dapat berupa noun (kata benda), pronoun (kata

ganti), adjective (kata sifat), atau konstruksi lain yang berperan sebagai noun atau adjective.
Kadang-kadang linking verb dapat pula diikuti adverb (kata keterangan) atau prepositional
phrase (frasa kata depan).

Berikut contoh penggunaan linking verb “is”.

That’s my fault.
noun (phrase)
(Itu salah saya.)

That’s mine.
pronoun
(Itu milik saya.)

That’s beautiful.
adjective (phrase)
(Itu cantik.)

She’s here.
adverb
(Dia disini.)

She’s at home.
prepositional phrase
(Dia di rumah.)

Berbeda dengan main verb (kata kerja utama) yang dapat menunjukkan aksi, linking

verb hanya sebagai penghubung. Dengan demikian kata kerja ini selalu intransitive karena
tidak ada direct object yang menerima aksi.
