ASK = BERTANYA/MENCARI KETERANGAN

We can ASK the time

We can ASK a question

We can ASK the date

We can ASK his name

CATATAN: Kita selalu bertanya kepada seseorang tentang sesuatu, tetapi kita tidak selalu menyebutkan siapa yang kita tanyai

ATAU kita tidak selalu menyebutkan apa yang kita tanyakan

ATAU kita dapat menyebutkan baik orang yang kita tanyai maupun apa yang kita tanyakan

We can ASK John (= Tanyakanlah hal yang tidak disebutkan itu kepada John)

We can ASK him

We can ASK the man

We can ASK our friends

We can ASK him the time

We can ASK Mary the date

We can ASK the man his name

We can ASK them a question

Catatan: Berhati-hatilah dengan ucapan kata ask [ĀSK] dan asks [ĀSKS] dan asked [ĀSKT].

TELL = MENCERITAKAN/MENERANGKAN/MEMBERI TAHU

We can TELL a story = menceritakan suatu kisah/bercerita

We can TELL a joke = menceritakan suatu lelucon

We can TELL the time = mengatakan waktu/jam

We can TELL the truth = mengatakan yang sebenarnya

CATATAN: Kita selalu menceritakan sesuatu kepada seseorang, tetapi kita tidak selalu menyebutkan siapa orang itu

ATAU kita tidak selalu menyebutkan apa yang kita ceritakan

ATAU kita dapat menyebutkan baik kepada siapa kita menceritakan sesuatu maupun apa yang kita ceritakan

We can TELL John ( = Ceritakan kepada John hal yang tidak disebutkan itu)

We can TELL him

We can TELL our friends

We can TELL him a story

We can TELL our friends a joke

We can TELL Don about our job

Perhatikan bentuk kata ganti yang dipakai di belakang kata kerja ask dan tell:

He told me a story

I asked him the way

I told her about my job

She told us the truth

I asked you the time

We told them the man’s name

(Perhatikan juga bahwa kata ganti (atau kata bendanya) diletakkan langsung di belakang kata kerja itu, dan di muka apa yang kita tanyakan atau ceritakan.)

BERTANYA dan MENCERITAKANNYA KEMBALI (Memakai ASK)

MENJAWAB

MENCERITAKANNYA KEMBALI (Memakai TELL)

“What’s your address?”

He asked me my address

2 Carr St., Newtown

I told him my address

“What’s your address?” .. (He asked me my address.) … “2 Carr St., Newtown.”

(I told him my address.)

“How’s Chris?” …………. (He asked me about Chris.)

“He’s fine!”………… (I told him about Chris.)

MEMINTA SESEORANG BERBUAT SESUATU/TIDAK BERBUAT SESUATU dan MENCERITAKANNYA KEMBALI (Memakai ASK)

Please sit down

He asked me to sit down

PLEASE sit down! —> He ASKED ME to sit down.

PLEASE have some more cake! —> He ASKED ME to have some more cake.

PLEASE don’t leave! —> He ASKED ME not to leave.

PLEASE don’t worry! —> He ASKED ME not to worry.

MENYURUH DAN MELARANG SESEORANG BERBUAT SESUATU dan MENCERITAKANNYA KEMBALI (Memakai TELL)

Go away!

He told me to go away.

Be quiet! —> He TOLD ME to be quiet.

Don’t do that! —> He TOLD ME not to do that.

Don’t tell him! —> He TOLD ME not to tell him.

Lihatlah contoh-contoh di atas dengan seksama. Perhatikanlah bahwa kalau kita menceritakan kembali permintaan ataupun perintah, bentuk kata kerjanya tidak sama dengan bentuk yang dipakai dalam ucapan yang sesungguhnya. Berikut ini beberapa contoh lagi:

“SIT DOWN, please.”* —> He asked her TO SIT DOWN.

“Please BEGIN.” —> He asked him TO BEGIN.

“Please DON’T WORRY.” —> She asked her NOT TO WORRY.

“Please DON’T LEAVE.” —> She asked them NOT TO LEAVE.

“STOP!” —> He told me TO STOP.

“BE quiet!” —> She told John TO BE quiet.

“DON’T DO that!” —> He told her NOT TO DO that.

“DON’T TURN it DOWN!” —> She told him NOT TO TURN it DOWN.

*Kalau kita mengutip ucapan yang sesungguhnya, kita pakai tanda kutip “……………”

Latihlah bagian berikut dengan seorang teman:

Saudara mengatakan:

“Come in, please.”

“What’s your name?”

“Don’t do that!”

“Go outside!”

Teman saudara hendaknya mengatakan:

You asked me to come in.

You asked me my name.

You told me not to do that.

You told me to go outside. (Saudara menyuruh saya keluar.)

“Please turn the radio down.” —> You asked me to turn the radio down.

“What’s your address?” —> You asked me my address.
