Kesalahan umum Common mistakes
Kesalahan yang sering dibuat penutur bahasa Indonesia.
- ✗ Did you went to the pasar?✓ Did you go to the pasar?
Setelah did, kata kerja kembali ke bentuk dasar: go.
- ✗ I goed home early.✓ I went home early.
Go tak beraturan: bentuk lampaunya went, bukan goed.
- ✗ She buyed a new bag.✓ She bought a new bag.
Buy tak beraturan → bought, bukan buyed.
- ✗ We didn't went out.✓ We didn't go out.
Sudah ada did (didn't), jadi kata kerja tetap dasar: go.
- ✗ He eated all the rice.✓ He ate all the rice.
Eat tak beraturan → ate, bukan eated.
