VERB PHRASE *
Pengertian Verb Phrase
Pada dasarnya yang di sebut sebagai
verb phrase adalah kata kerja yang tidak berdiri sendiri (terdiri lebih dari
satu kata) namun masih bermakna/berfungsi sebagai kata kerja. Jadi yang di
maksud dengan verb phrase adalah kata kerja yang terdiri dari dua kata atau
lebih, perhatikan contoh di bawah ini:
- They study
- They are studying
Contoh yang pertama bukanlah sebuah verb phrase
karena kata kerja hanya terdiri dari satu kata yaitu study, sedangkan
contoh yang kedua adalah sebuah verb phrase karena kata kerja terdiri dari dua
kata, yaitu are (kata kerja bantu) dan studying (kata kerja utama
dengan tambahan akhiran –ing) yang berfungsi sebagai kata kerja “sedang
berlangsung”.
Be + Present Participle (-ing)
Verb phrase dapat disusun atas
bagian dari kata kerja be yang di ikuti oleh kata kerja dengan akhiran
ing. Yang termasuk bagian be adalah is, am, are, was, dan were.
Contoh :
Contoh :
- We are discussing a problem.
- Shanti was watching TV.
Perhatikan yang saya garis bawahi
dimana be di ikuti oleh kata kerja berakhiran ing, sehingga akan membentuk verb
phrase.
Have + Past Participle (verb3)
Yang di maksud dengan have juga
termasuk has dan had. Sedangkan verb3 adalah bentuk ketiga dari suatu kata
kerja. Jadi, verb phrase juga dapat di susun dengan have/has/had yang kemudian
di ikuti verb3.
Contoh:
- I have eaten.
- Adi has lived in Yogyakarta.
- She had finished her homework.
Have Been + Present Participle
(-ing)
Kemudian, verb phrase juga dapat
tersusun atas have been, has been, had been yang di ikuti oleh kata kerja
berakhiran ing.
Contoh:
- I have been living in Jakarta.
- The mechanic has been repairing my car.
- Dani had been working in that company.
Modal Auxiliary Verb + Ordinary Verb
(Kata kerja utama)
Yang di maksud dengan modal
auxiliary verb adalah kata kerja bantu yang memiliki arti, sehingga akan
melengkapi makna dari ordinary verb. Contoh dari modal auxiliary verb seperti
will, shall, would, should, ought to, can, could, must may, might, dan
kata-kata lainnya yang sejenis.
Contoh:
Contoh:
- They will study English.
- He can do this job.

3. Present Perfect Tense
Present Perfect Tense menekankan pada PERFECT nya
itu. Perfect kan artinya “sempurna”. Bukan sempurna karena cantik seperti Gita
Gutawa, tetapi sempurna yang berarti “selesai, sudah, beres, baru saja usai,
dsb”. Jadi, kalau Anda menekankan pada “SUDAH” nya itu maka gunakanlah Present
Perfect Tense ini. Contoh yang paling mengena misalnya: Dia baru saja pergi
(She has just gone).
Rumusnya Present Perfect Tense begini: Positif: S + have/has + V3 Negatif: S + have/sas Not + V3 Tanya: Have/has + S + V3 Nah, setelah Subject (S) maka pakai “have” atau “has” sesuai pasangannya. Have dalam konteks ini artinya adalah: sudah, telah, barusan. Yang aneh dalam bahasa inggris Have + ES bukan Haves tetapi HAS. Jadi pasangannya begini: He, She, It, John, Merry, Mufli : Has You, We, They, Ellen and Budi: Have

* FORM AND STYLE OF BUSINESS LATTER *
FORM OF BUSINESS LETTER
Business letters may be written in any of
the following styles: full block or purely block, simplified, modified block,
semi-block, hanging-indented, indented, and memorandum style. The full block
style has all the letter elements flush with the left margin; it is
asymmetrical because there are wide white spaces on the right. It differs from
the simplified style in the sense that the salutation and the complimentary
close are absent in the latter. The modified block style, the semi-block style,
and the hanging-indented style share the same format, that is, all the letter
elements, except the salutation, complimentary close, and signature (which are
begun at the center) are flush with the left margin. The three differ in paragraph
indention: the modified block has no indention, the semi-block style has a
normal or standard indention, while the hanging-indented style, as its name
suggests, has a hanging indention. The indented style has most of its elements
indented. The memorandum style has a unique format. It has a header with the
reference line, date line, subject line, TO line, FROM line, and THRU line. A
demarcation line divides the header and the body of the letter. Examples of the
letter styles are found below.

Dear Sir:
I, Mr. Juancho Z. Menoy, a Paranaque resident since birth and a representative of my parents, am filing a complaint against our neighbor, Mr. Arsenio Dizon, regarding his apartment which is a fire hazard. The three-storey apartment does not comply with the safety requirements for commercial buildings. First, it has no fire exit and no fire wall. Second, there are no fire extinguishers. Third, it has no electricity; some of the occupants who may be using candles can pose a hazard, especially that there are portions of the apartment that are made of light materials. Fourth, there are some occupants who store their kalakal (used paper, plastic bottles, plastic cups, plastic containers, and easily combustible materials) here and nearby. Just recently, a fire which lasted for days hit the Baclaran commercial area. My family and I were once fire victims. I do not want to encounter the same traumatic experience. Concern for my safety and that of my family and my neighborhood prompted me to air this complaint. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure; thus, it is best to act upon this matter before another fire in our area breaks out. Your prompt attention and favorable action on this matter shall be highly appreciated. Very truly yours, JUANCHO Z. MENOY 2. MODIFIED BLOCK STYLE November 28, 2008 MS. BECKY O. FURAGGANAN

Dear Ms. Furagganan: In response to your memorandum dated November 24, 2008 regarding the tea with the CCP President, I would like to inform that I was unable to attend such celebration because I had to attend my classes in the University of the East where I teach part-time. During the second week of classes, I had my bereavement leave here and in UE in order to attend to the wake of my father. Unfortunately, there were no teachers assigned to substitute for me in all my classes in both schools so I decided to attend my classes there, instead of the tea party, because my students were already behind as far as their lessons are concerned. I hope that you understand my situation. Very truly yours, JESUS Z. MENOY

Dear Ms. Licas: This serves to inform you that Ms. PRINCESS JANNEL D. YASAY, a freshman Education student enrolled last semester in my English 1 with CAI class, failed to take the final oral examination and, as a consequence, was given a grade of Incomplete. Her failure to take such examination was due to the fact that she had to attend the burial of her grandparent on the day of the examination. Ms. Yasay is a community scholar and her Incomplete grade in English 1 would cause her to lose her scholarship. To help her continue her studies, I let her take the oral examination and so she was given a grade of 2.50. I hope that you reconsider her application for scholarship. Her failure was a result not of her incompetency, but of circumstances beyond her control. Very truly yours, JESUS Z. MENOY

* ARRANGING A BUSINESS MEETING *
Writing a Business Meeting Request Letter
To arrange a formal
business meeting, or to request a meeting with a business person, it is courteous to write a business
meeting request letter. If the meeting is with people in the sender’s own
office, he or she may be tempted to send an email or text message to request a
meeting. However, formal letters have the advantage of adding importance to the
agenda as well as giving the platform for explaining some of the reasons for
the meeting. It also shows professionalism and preparation.
Tips the Sender Should
Consider!
Business letters requesting a meeting may be
sent to a person the sender doesn’t know, someone they met once at a conference
or party or to their own boss or colleagues. Some tips the sender should
consider that may help them achieve success with their letter are:
• Researching the company and person to whom the letter is addressed
• Clearly stating the purpose of the meeting
• Enclosing some documents that may help should
such as a bio of the sender, a brochure about the sender’s company
• Mentioning specific previous successes in the
same field
• Including testimonials form satisfied
customers on the same topic as the meeting request agenda
The letter should follow business-letter format. It should be written in simple language with no slang. Some reasons for requesting a meeting are for: • Networking
• Presenting a business plan
• Making a sales pitch
• Talking to the boss
• Scheduling an interview
• Meeting a government official
• Meeting colleagues
Several Reasons for Requesting a MeetingThere are several reasons for requesting a meeting to meet colleagues such as to discuss the progress of a project, to meet people from a different company with whom there is collaboration or simply because there is an issue that needs discussion. A letter to request a meeting doesn’t need to be long, but it does need to give the vital information. It should state:\
• Place of meeting
• Reason for the meeting in brief
• Potential dates for meeting
• Request for follow-up after the meeting
• Suggested length of the meeting
• Possible times for the meeting
• What the person or company would gain from the
meeting
Here is a sample business meeting request letter for meeting someone who is not in the same company or office of the sender. As with all business communications, the letter should be sent by certified mail, so the sender has proof of when it was sent and received. If there are any official documents enclosed, they should be copies and not originals. A brochure may also be enclosed if the meeting is for a business proposition or sale.
