Fungsi Present Participle

Secara umum, participle dapat berfungsi sebagai sebagai verb atau verbal.

Sebagai Verb

Sebagai verb, present participle digunakan sebagai komponen dari verb phrase bersama auxiliary verb untuk membentuk (perfect) continuous tense. Present participle juga digunakan pada passive voice pada continuous tense.

Contoh Present Participle sebagai Verb

  • He is smiling to you.
    (Dia sedang tersenyum padamu.) present continuous tense
  • Those toddlers have been sleeping for an hour.
    (Balita-balita itu telah tidur selama satu jam.) present perfect continuous tense
  • The workers were queuing for their salaries.
    (Para pekerja sedang mengantri gaji.) past continuous tense
  • The labors had been demonstrating for two hours before you came.)
    (Para buruh telah berdemonstrasi selama dua jam sebelum kamu datang.) past perfect continuous tense
  • She will be working at the office.
    (Dia akan sedang bekerja di kantor.) future continuous tense
  • That cat will have been sleeping long.
    (Kucing itu akan telah tidur lama.) future perfect continuous tense
  • The book is being read by him.
    (Buku tersebut sedang dibaca olehnya.) passive – present continuous tense
  • My car was being washed at this time yesterday.
    (Mobil saya sedang dicuci pada saat ini kemarin.) passive – past continuous tense

Sebagai Verbal

Sebagai verbal, participle berfungsi sebagai adjective (kata sifat). Sebagai adjective, participle berfungsi menerangkan noun (kata benda). Adapula bentuk -ing yang lain yang berfungsi sebagai noun, yaitu gerund. Walaupun sama-sama berbentuk -ing, namun penggunaan keduanya sangat berbeda.

Penggunaan active participle sebagai adjective dapat dilihat pada noun phrase dan reduced adjective clause (active voice). Pada noun phrase, noun yang bertindak sebagai pelaku aksi dirangkai dengan active participle.

Misalnya pada kalimat:

  • The rooster annoys me.
    (Ayam jago itu menjengkelkan saya.)
  • The fact interested me.
    (Fakta tersebut menarik perhatian saya.)

dapat dibuat menjadi kalimat dengan present participle:

  • It is an annoying rooster.
    (Itu ayam jago yang menjengkelkan.)
  • The annoying rooster eats a lot.
    (Ayam jago yang menjengkelkan itu makan banyak.)
  • It was an interesting fact.
    (Itu fakta yang menarik.)
  • The interesting fact was published.
    (Fakta menarik itu dipublikasikan.)

Annoying dan interesting pada contoh di atas merupakan active participle yang menjelaskan rooster dan fact.

Pada reduksi adjective clause (active voice), relative pronoun dan verb “to be” dan/atau auxiliary verb lain (jika ada) dihapus serta ditambahkan -ing pada active verb (jika tidak berbentuk continuous tense) sehingga membentuk present participle (phrase).

Contoh Present Participle pada Reduced Adjective Clause

  1. adjective clause

    The woman who works here is from Perth.
    (Wanita yang bekerja disini berasal dari Perth.)

    reduced

    The woman who works+ing here is from Perth.

    menjadi

    The woman working here is from Perth. menerangkan woman

  2. adjective clause

    The man who is sleeping under the tree is my brother.
    (Laki-laki yang sedang tidur di bawah pohon adalah saudaraku.)

    reduced

    The boy who is sleeping+ing under the tree is my brother.

    menjadi

    The man sleeping under the tree is my brother. menerangkan man

Fungsi present participle: *sebagai verb: bersama auxiliary verb membentuk (perfect) continuous tense dan passive voice - continuous tense *sebagai verb (adjective): menerangkan noun pada noun phrase dan noun di depan active voice - reduced adjective clause.

    • Present participle digunakan sebagai adjective dan verb Hizkia. Di verb bisa di continuous tense, perfect continuous tense, passive – continuous tense, reduced adjective clause.

      Tigers are very adaptable in their hunting techniques. Although they prefer to kill by attacking the neck, they do not do so when they recognize it is inappropriate. A large crocodile might bite down on a swimming tiger, which will immediately blind the reptile by striking it in the eyes. A crocodile’s neck is covered with thick amored skin, so the tiger will instead flip the animal over and eviscerate its soft belly. …

      Three subspecies of tiger have all gone extinct in the last 80 years. The Bali tiger (Panthera tigris balica) was purposefully hunted to extinction in Bali due to its cultural status as evil. The Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) was hunted to extinction, although its numbers had been dwindling due to habitat loss to coffee and rubber plantations. http://listverse.com/2012/09/10/50-unusual-facts-about-tigers/
