CHAPTER VIII
CONDIITIONAL CLAUSE (IF)
If clauses digunakan untuk menyatakan sebuah kondisi atas kejadian atau keberadaan sesuatu.
Contoh : If you mix sugar with water, it will dissolve
Here, the sugar will dissolve on the condition that you mix it with water.
Ada tiga tipe if clauses:
Type 1. mengenai kejadian nyata
Dalam tipe 1, if clause dalam present tense, sedangkan main clause biasanya dalam bentuk present, future, atau
imperative.
Contoh:
 If you go to the drug store, buy me a soft drink. (present ; imperative)
 If Mary calls, I’ll invite her to the concert. (present ; future)
 If Mary should call, I’ll invite her to the concert. (modal ; future)
Type 2
Type 2 is concerned with hypothetical or unreal situations in the present. (berkaitan dengan khayalan atau situasi
yang tidak nyata saat ini.)
If I had the money, I would buy a motorcycle.
This is called a hypothetical if clause because I don’t have the money but I am imagining what I would do if I did.
Type 3
Type 3 is concerned with hypothetical discussion about the past.
If I had known you were sick, I would have made you some soup. (past perfect-modal past)
Here the implication is that I didn’t know you were sick (and that you may no longer be sick).
If you had been here yesterday, you could have seen Pam. (past perfect-modal past)
It is clear in the example that you were not here yesterday.
Kata if sangat membantu untuk mengenali if clause, namun, tidak selalu digunakan.
Type 1: should
 If you should get a letter from Greece, give me a call.
 Should you get a letter from Greece, give me a call.
Type 2: were
 If you were taller, you could reach the light.
 Were you taller, you could reach the light.
Type 3
 If I had agreed, Jim would have married me.
 Had I agreed, Jim would have married me.
Unless, which has a meaning similar to if not, can also be used in conditional clauses.
 If it doesn’t rain, we’ll go to the lake.
 Unless it rains, we’ll go to the lake.

CHAPTER X
Direct and Indirect sentence (reported speech)
#) You want to tell someone else what Jesse said.
Direct
- Jesse said “ I’m feeling ill”.
Reported
- Jesse said (that) he was feeling ill.
#) When we used reported speech, we are usually talking about the past. So verbs usually change to the past in
reported speech.
Am/is → was are → were
have/has → had will → would
can → could
Do/want/know etc. → did/wanted/knew etc.
did → did or had done
Other examples:
I want to go on holiday but I don’t know where to go.
*Jesse said (that) he wanted to go on holiday but he didn’t know where to go.
Jesse said “I woke up feeling ill and so I stayed in bed”.
*Jesse said (that) he woke (or had woken) up feeling ill and so he stayed (or had stayed) In bed.
#) If you are reporting something and you feel that it is still true, you do not need to change the tenses of the verb.
Example:
Direct
- Jesse said “New York is bigger than London”.
Reported – Jesse said (that) New York is (or was) bigger than London.
#) must, might, could, would, should, and ought stay the same in reported speech. May in direct speech normally
changes to might in reported speech.
May (direct) → might (reported)
#) say and tell
If you say who you are talking to, use tell:
 Zack told me that he didn’t like Thomas. (not Zack said me..)
Otherwise, use say:
 Zack said (that) he didn’t like Thomas. (not Zack told (that) he..)
#) We also use the infinitive (to do/to stay, etc) in reported speech. Especially for orders and requests)
Direct
→ “Stay in bed for a few days”, the doctor said to me.
Reported → The doctor told me to stay in bed for a few days.
Direct → “Don’t shout”, I said to Gina

Countable and Uncountable Nouns
Countable Nouns
Countable nouns are mudah dikenali. Yang termasuk countable nouns adalah kata benda yang dapat dihitung.
Contohnya: "pen". Kita dapat menghitung banyaknya pulpen. Contoh yang lain sebagai berikut:
dog, cat, animal, man, person, bottle, box, litre, coin, note, dollar, cup, plate, fork, table, chair, suitcase, bag
Countable nouns bisa berbentuk singular atau plural:
My dog is playing. (singular)
My dogs are hungry. (plural)
Kita dapat menggunakan indefinite article a/an dengan countable nouns:
A dog is an animal.
Ketika bentuknya singular, kita harus menggunakan kata a/the/my/this sebelumnya:
I want an orange. (bukan I want orange.)
Where is my bottle? (bukan Where is bottle?)
Ketika bentuknya plural, kata itu dapat berdiri sendiri:
I like oranges.
Bottles can break.
Kita dapat menggunakan some, any, few, every, all, dan many dengan countable nouns:
I've got some dollars.
Have you got any pens?
I've got a few dollars.
I haven't got many pens.
All dogs go to heaven.
Every book is a source of knowledge.
"People" termasuk dapat dihitung. "People" adalah bentuk jamak atau plural dari "person":
There is one person here.
There are three people here.
Uncountable Nouns
Uncountable nouns adalah benda atau zat, konsep, dan sebagainya yang tidak dapat dibagi menjadi elemenelemen terpisah. Kita tidak dapat menghitung hal tersebut. Sebagai contoh, kita tidak dapat menghitung
"milk". Kita dapat menghitung "bottles of milk" atau "litres of milk", tapi kita tidak dapat menghitung “milk”
itu sendiri.
Dibawah ini contoh lain dari uncountable nouns:
music, art, love, happiness, advice, information, news, furniture, luggage, rice, sugar, butter, water
electricity, gas, power, money, currency
Biasanya uncountable nouns diperlakukan sebagai kata yang singular. Kita menggunakan singular
verb/predikat tunggal. Contohnya:
This news is very important.
Your luggage looks heavy.
Kita tidak menggunakan indefinite article a/an dengan uncountable nouns. Kita tidak dapat mengatakan "an
information" atau "a music". Tetapi kita harus mengatakan:
a piece of news
a bottle of water
a grain of rice
Kita dapat menggunakan some dan any dengan uncountable nouns:
I've got some money.
Have you got any rice?
Kita juga dapat menggunakan little, all, dan much dengan uncountable nouns:

Contoh Soal:
People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. A study shows that our diets are
also an expression of our personalities. Perhaps we don’t choose foods only for taste and nutrition. We might
choose them because they “tell” people something about us. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods,
such as caviar and lobster, and they only eat in expensive restaurants (never in cafeterias or snack bars). They
might want to “tell” the world that they know about the “better things in life”.
Human beings can eat many different kinds of food, but some people choose not to eat meat. These vegetarians
often have more in common than just their diet. Their personalities might be similar, too. For example, vegetarians
in the United States may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs. They worry
about the health of the world, and they probably don’t believe in war.
Some people eat mostly “fast-food”. One study shows that many fat-food eaters have a lot I common with each
other, but they are very much different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also
in a hurry. Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities, but it’s a common
picture of them.
Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign, have similar food personalities. Arians (born
under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 19) usually like spicy food, with a lot of onions and pepper.
People with the sign of Taurus (April 20 to May 20) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables, but they often eat too
much. Sgittarians (November 22 to December 21) like ethnic foods from many different countries. Aquarians
(January 20 to February 18 ) can eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol are sometimes
problems for them.

Latihan Soal:
Neither a Borrower nor a Lender Be
Both borrowers and lenders in the sub-prime mortgage market are wishing they had listened to the old saying:
neither a borrower nor a lender be.
Last year people with poor credit ratings borrowed $605 billion in mortgages, a figure that is about 20% of the
home-loan market. It includes people who cannot afford to meet the mortgage payments on expensive homes
they have bought, and low-income buyers. In some cases, the latter could not even meet the first payment.
Lenders include banks like HSBC, which may have lost almost $7 billion.
Both sides can be blamed. Lenders, after the 2-3 percentage point premium they could charge, offered loans,
known as 'liar loans', with no down payments and without any income verification to people with bad credit
histories. They believed that rising house prices would cover them in the event of default. Borrowers ignored the
fact that interest rates would rise after an initial period.
One result is that default rates on these sub-prime mortgages reached 14% last year- a record. The problems in
this market also threaten to spread to the rest of the mortgage market, which would reduce the flow of credit
available to the shrinking numbers of consumers still interested in buying property.
So, the housing market will remain weak; borrowers with weak credit histories will find the credit window closed;
people with adjustable-rate mortgages will have to spend less so they can meet their increased payments; tighter
lending standards and falling home prices will reduce consumers' ability to tap the equity in their homes.
But as long as the labor market remains strong, which it has done despite job losses in housing-related industries,
and as long as real incomes continue to go up, consumers might complain, but they are unlikely to go on a buyers'
strike on a scale that will make this slowdown become a recession. Therefore, we should not be too worried, but,
at the same time, we should be a bit cautious and watch closely how things develop.

The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as
Jo said sadly, “We haven’t got Father, and shall not have him for a long time.” She did not say “perhaps never”, but
each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.
Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone, “You know the reason Mother proposed not
having presents this Christmas was because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we ought
not to spend money for pleasure, when our men are suffering so in the army. We can’t do much, but we can make
our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I’m afraid I don’t.” And Meg shook her head, as she thought of all
the pretty things she wanted.
