Dokter memeriksa pasien<br />

Subject Verb Object<br />

The doctor is examining a patient.<br />

To make our sentences a little more interesting, we can insert a few<br />

extra things, such as auxiliary verbs, adverbs and prepositional phrases<br />

[see earlier chapters for prepositional phrases).<br />

Auxiliary verbs<br />

Auxiliary verbs are words that are complementary to the main verb. In<br />

the sentence, they appear before the main verb. Auxiliaries express<br />

such things as aspect and modality. Aspect indicates whether an action<br />

is in the process, completed or not completed, or will be completed.<br />

Modality expresses such things as uncertainty, possibility or necessity.<br />

sedang in process of barangkali may be, probably, possibly<br />

belum not yet bisa can, be able to<br />

sudah already boleh may<br />

akan will, be going to dapat can, be able to<br />

harus must, have to<br />

ingin want, wish to, will<br />

mau want, wish to. wilt<br />

mungkin maybe, probably, possibly<br />

Adverbs<br />

Adverbs are words that indicate such things as frequency, manner and<br />

time. They can be inserted either at the beginning or at the end of the<br />

sentence.<br />

Frequency lima kali seminggu five times a week<br />

Manner pelan-pelan slowly<br />

Time pagi ini this morning<br />

Let us now see how we can incorporate auxiliary verbs, adverbs and<br />

prepositional phrases into our subject-focus construction.<br />

Nina akan menulis cerpen . besok<br />

Subjea Auxiliary verb Main verb Object A&rb (time)<br />

Nina will write a short story tomorrow.<br />

Dokter sedang rnerneriksa pasien di ruang 3.<br />

Subjea Auxiliary verb Main veh Object PrepositionaI phrc<br />

The doctor is in the process of examining a patient in Roum 3.<br />

You can also insert two auxiliary verbs before the main verb, one<br />

indicating aspect and the other indicating modality.<br />

Nina barangkali akan menulis cerpen besok.<br />

Subject Auxifiary verb Auxiliary verb Moin veh Object Adverb (tin-<br />
