Know the Verbal and Nominal Sentences

Before you start to learn English to a level further and memorizing tenses, it was important to recognize verbal and nominal sentence sentence.

Verbal sentence

Verbal sentence is the sentence which the predicate verb ( verb ) .

Examples of verbal sentence:
1. Footbal We play every morning
2. I go to market every sunday
3. Intan plays badminton with Ella
4. He goes to the library
5. She buys some books in the store

Can you see the part that I gave the red color is a verb , so that all the sentences referred to as a verbal sentence.

Nominal sentence

Nominal sentence is a sentence that the predicate is not a verb but it can be a verb phrase elements involving the auxiliary verb "be" (is, am, are, was, were, been and being) should be merged with 3 komplement (complement) is; adjective, noun and adverb. It is certainly different from the Indonesian, where we do not know the auxiliary verb "be" the only sentence in Indonesian berbentu verbal sentence. Indonesian does not recognize a nominal sentence.

Examples of nominal sentence:
1. He is funny
2. She was hungry
3. Andi is at the library
4. We are at school
5. They are students

You see the example sentence above, in which I give the red color is the auxiliary verb "be" while the part that I love the color green is the Complement (complement) so the sample sentence is referred to as a nominal sentence.

Difference Between Can and May in English

Can and May are the two words that we use in asking permission or asking for something. Because its use is sometimes no definite rule, can and may often misunderstood and often use less precise way. To that end, here are the rules in writing can and may in the sentence that you can apply.

Can

Can be used to demonstrate an ability . So , the word you use when you want to demonstrate the capabilities of the person or yourself. For example , I can swim as far as 40 kilometers , he was able to jump from the second floor without getting hurt, or my father was able to work within 8 hours without stopping .

Example sentences in English :

She can not get the scholarship .
I can run faster than you .
They can speak louder if they want .
Can you speak Spanish ?
Can she walk on the water ?

The use of a second can is to show a permit . However, the context of use in this case can be used in informal situations . Examples in Indonesian is , you can swim in the pool in the morning , he could go to play after doing all the homework , or I can graduate from this school if the paperwork has been completed .

Example sentences in English :

You can turn on the light .
She can adopt this girl .
They can stay in my house for a night .
Can I follow you ?
Can I go for a few minutes ?

May 

May be used to indicate a license. Then, what's the difference with the can? May be used for formal situations. For example, when you are in a meeting, then you want to license out for a while, then it may use. The word is also used when you are talking to someone you respect, such as parents, teachers, or your sister.

Example sentences in English:

May I leave for a while?
May I close the door?
May I use your phone for a few minutes?

Various kinds of sentences
