Rangkuman Materi Subjunctive (Wish Expression)

Subjunctive disebut juga expression of wish adalah aspek gramatikal yang digunakan untuk mengungkapkan suatu harapan atau keinginan, baik keinginan si masa sekarang (present) maupun keinginan di masa lampau (past) yang sama sekali tidak akan/tidak bisa terwujud karena adanya sebuah fakta yang tidak bisa terpenuhi atau tidak bisa diubah.

Perhatikan contoh di bawah ini

All students very wishes that their Biology teacher forgot about the test held today
What does the sentence mean?

  1. The Biology teacher really forgets the test that will be held today
  2. All students does the test today
  3. All students did not do the Biology test that day
  4. The teacher does not hold the test that day.

Untuk menjawab tipe soal tersebut, perhatikan analisis sederhana berikut ini: yang diharapkan atau inginnya siswa adalah guru Biologi lupa tentang test yang akan dilaksanakan hari ini (the Biology teacher really forgets the test that will be held today). Faktanya, si guru tidak lupa dan tes tetap dilaksanakan hari ini atau semua siswa tetap mengerjakan tes hari ini (All students does the test today)

Jadi subjunctive pastinya harus bertolak belakang dengan kenyataan (fact/real/meaning). What does the sentence mean? adalah pertanyaan yang mengungkapkan tentang fakta.

 Agar mudah untuk menganalisis teori, silakan lihat tips cepat di bawah ini!

Quick tips 1:

Keterangan:

  • Tanda X bermakna subjunctive selalu bertolak belakang dengan kenyataan.
  • Wish bermakna “inginnya/berharapnya” sedangkan as if/as though bermakna “seakan-akan atau seolah-olah”
  • Subjunctive dalam quick tips 1 selalu diikuti oleh time clues for present seperti, now (sekarang), right now (saat ini), at the moment (sekarang), today (hari ini), etc
  • Subjunctive dalam quick tips 1 selalu bertolak belakang dengan fakta (fact) dengan aturan sebagai berikut: jika subjunctive berbentuk past (were, verb 2/didn’t, could) maka fakta atau maknanya harus dalam bentuk present (are/am/is/verb1/don’t/doesn’t). Jadi subjunctive memiliki satu tense lebih tua dari pada kenyataan.
  • Dalam subjunctive, penggunaan bentuk was tidak diperbolehkan. Penggunaan bentuk were dipakai untuk semua jenis subjek, termasuk subjek tunggal (singular subject) seperti she, he, it, dan I
