Rumus Yes-No Question

Yes-no question dapat dibuat dengan mengubah declarative sentence (statement). Kamu harus tau yang mana subject, main verb (tidak diikuti oleh verb manapun), dan auxiliary verb (primary auxiliary verb/modal). Penjelasan singkatnya adalah sebagai berikut.

  • subject

    berupa noun atau pronoun yang merupakan pelaku aksi: Tata, man, Reny and I, they

  • main verb

    setelah subject dan tidak diikuti oleh verb lain: be (is, am, are), have, touch, write, work, eat and drink

  • helping verb

    sebelum main verb: be (is, am are), have, will, can, may, should

Catatan

Be dapat berupa main verb (linking verb) atau auxiliary verb.

Sekarang mari kita lihat rumus declarative sentence:

S +/- helping verb + main verb

Contoh Declarative Sentence

  1. Caca should see the dentist as soon as possible.
    (Kamu harus mendatangi dokter gigi sesegera mungkin.)
  2. Zula is kindhearted young man.
    (Zula adalah pria muda yang baik hati.)
  3. Your father works hard.
    (Ayahmu bekerja dengan keras)

Yang perlu dilakukan untuk membentuk yes-no question adalah memindahkan helping verb ke depan kalimat, merubah main verb menjadi bentuk dasar (bare infinitive) hanya untuk simple tense, serta menambahkan question mark (tanda tanya) di akhir kalimat:

helping verb  + S + main verb (bare infinitive/present participle/past participle)?

Bare infinitive berlaku untuk kalimat simple present/past/future/past future tense, present participle untuk present/past continuous tense, sedangkan past participle untuk present/past perfect tense.

Jika ada dua auxiliary, hanya yg pertama yang dipindahkan ke depan. Dua atau lebih auxiliary bisa terjadi pada future/past future continuous, future perfect, dan perfect continuous tense.

Contoh Kalimat

  1. He has been driving for an hour.
    (Dia sudah mengemudi selama satu jam.) declarative sentence
  2. Has he been driving for an hour?
    (Sudahkah dia mengemudi selama satu jam?) yes-no question

Jika kalimat tidak memiliki helping verb dan hanya berupa main verb be, maka:

be (am/is/are/was/were) +S (+ complement) ?

Jika kalimat tidak memiliki helping verb dan bukan main verb be, tambahkan helping verb do di depan kalimat:

do/does/did + S + main verb (bare infinitive)?

yes no questionDo disini merupakan dummy auxiliary (tidak menambah makna kalimat) namun harus disesuaikan sesuai dengan subject-verb agreement-nya. Do untuk subject jamak (kecuali I dan you yang tetap menggunakan do) pada simple present tense, does untuk subject tunggal pada pada simple present tense, sedangkan did untuk subject tunggal maupun jamak pada simple past tense.

Contoh Yes-No Question (berdasarkan contoh declarative sentence di atas)

  1. Should Caca see the dentist as soon as possible? should= helping verb
  2. Is Zula kindhearted young man? is= main verb be
  3. Does your father work hard? does= dummy auxiliary

Negative Yes-No Question

Seperti affirmative yes-no question, negative yes-no question juga dimulai dengan be atau auxiliary (do, have, will, can, should). Bedanya hanya perlu ditambahkan not setelahnya.

Contoh Negative Yes-No Question

  1. Can’t he drive a car?
    (Dia tidak bisa menyetir mobil?)
  2. Didn’t you see my sport shoes?
    (Kamu tidak melihat sepatu olahraga saya?)
  3. Isn’t the earth flat?
    (Bumi tidak datar?)

    Are they sleeping on the grass? are= helping verb

  2. Lala has attended the health seminar.
    (Lala telah menghadiri seminar kesehatan tersebut.)

    Has Lala attended the health seminar? has= helping ver

  3. He was fat.
    (Dia dulunya gemuk.)

    Was he fat? was=main verb be

  4. Only two workers came late.
    (Hanya dua pekerja datang terlambat.)
