The imperative

- Imperatives are used to issue commands. They use the infinitive of verbs (dropping the word "to"); in the first person plural ("we"), the infinitive is preceded by "let's" (or: "let us"):
• Speak!
• Finish your homework!
• Let's eat!
• Close the door!
- The negative imperative is formed by placing "don't" (or "do not") before the imperative form; in the first person plural one uses "let's not" (or "let us not") :
• Let's not forget who helped us.
• Don't leave me!
• Don't walk on the grass!
• Please don't eat the daisies!
- The imperative has no effect on the word order of the rest of the sentence.

1. Take that chewing gum out of your mouth.

Suffixe

In linguistics, a suffix (also sometimes called a postfix or ending) is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns or adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs. Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, a suffix is called an afformative, as they can alter the form of the words to which they are fixed. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings.
Suffixes can carry grammatical information (inflectional suffixes) or lexical information (derivational suffixes). An inflectional suffix is sometimes called a desinence.
Some examples from English:
- Girls, where the suffix -s marks the plural.
- He makes, where suffix -s marks the third person singular present tense.
- It closed, where the suffix -ed marks the past tense.
Many synthetic languages—Czech, German, Finnish, Latin, Hungarian, Russian, Turkish, etc.—use a large number of endings.
Suffixes used in English frequently have Greek, French or Latin origins.

Inflectional suffixes
Inflection changes grammatical properties of a word within its syntactic category. In the example:
The weather forecaster said it would clear today, but it hasn't cleared at all.
the suffix -ed inflects the root-word clear to indicate past tense.
Some inflectional suffixes in present day English:
-s third person singular present
-ed past tense
-ing progressive/continuous
-en past participle
-s plural
-en plural (irregular)
-er comparative
-est superlative
-n't negative

Derivational suffixes
In the example:
"The weather forecaster said it would be clear today, but I can't see clearly at all"
the suffix -ly modifies the root-word clear from an adjective into an adverb. Derivation can also form a semantically distinct word within the same syntactic category. In this example:
"The weather forecaster said it would be a clear day today, but I think it's more like clearish!"
the suffix -ish modifies the root-word clear, changing its meaning to "clear, but not very clear".
Some derivational suffixes in present day English:
-ize/-ise
-fy
-ly
-able/-ible
-ful
-ness
-less
-ism
-ment
-ist
-al
-ish

My First GE Test Value

Likely very glad accessible to school that I have envisioned. Really initially I desire as great chef. But, I only can choose one school choice to be elaborated, differ from moment enter the junior high school. And I choose to step into this Vocational High School Country 2 Buduran. We are be trained to able to be photographer, designer, and film maker.
But sure we can not get out of lesson to be able to English lesson. English lesson in my school is divided to be three. TOEIC, GE and speaking. TOEIC train us so that accurateer listen and watch closely a story or conversation that underway. If speaking, of course so that we more realize manner has said word and speak English-speaking to well, true and correctly.
While GE, we were trained to get of best of English grammar so that we get of best of English matter other that I have mentioned a while ago. Around several weeks we have passed by, and time has come for us to hold daily repetition. Between two lights before repetition I quandary to doing my home work. And only several exercises sheets at book that I have read.
The day after want must not want us must follow test. We have sit not mutual deal with method sit that random, special so that can not mutual see and copy. At least I can do quietly without felt afraid another person will ask answer from we.
And the result, I get my daily repetition result value with ugly value. Number 63 rose colored rose colored, inscribed so big at right corner on my test exercise answer paper. Miss Devina, subject teacher GE we, rule us to inscribe our values result data so ugly.
He is expressly order us do the mentioned so that we know how the ugly values whom we obtain. In my class, only one student that get value 8 and only 5 students that get value 6, while the students total at our class is 39. Miss Devina so disappointed with her students. She in ill part with our class whom always makes noisy and can not quiet.
Even friends in my class this is once in a while cheer to children other that get value 6, because their value is be they too ugly. And at moment that, we are out for can apologize to Miss Devina on all unfavorable behaviors that we have done. But until now, they are never can coincide their promise. And good in a moment later they can realize all their unfavorable behaviors. Amin.

Nilai Ujian Pertama GE-ku

Rasanya senang sekali dapat masuk ke sekolah yang telah aku impikan. Memang awalnya aku bercita-cita sebagai koki handal. Namun, aku hanya bisa memilih satu pilihan sekolah untuk ditekuni, berbeda dengan saat masuk SMP. Dan aku memilih untuk masuk ke sekolah SMKN 2 Buduran ini. Dengan dilatih untuk bisa menjadi fotografer, designer, dan pembuat film.
Tetapi sudah tentu kami tidak bisa lepas dari pelajaran untuk bisa berbahasa Inggris. Di sekolahku pelajaran bahasa Inggris ini dibagi menjadi tiga. TOEIC, Ge dan Speaking. TOEIC melatih kami supaya lebih cermat mendengarkan dan mengamati sebuah cerita atau percakapan yang sedang berlangsung. Kalau Speaking, sudah jelas supaya kami lebih memahami cara mengucapkan perkataan dan berbicara berbahasa Inggris dengan baik dan benar.
Sedangkan GE, kami dilatih untuk dapat menguasai tata bahasa Inggris sehingga kami dapat menguasai materi bahasa Inggris lain yang telah aku sebutkan tadi. Telah sekitar beberapa minggu telah kami lalui, dan sudah saatnya bagi kami untuk mengadakan ulangan harian. Di malam hari sebelum ulangan tersebut aku sedang kebingungan untuk mengerjakan tugasku. Dan hanya beberapa lembar soal-soal di buku yang sudah aku baca.
Esok harinya mau tidak mau kami harus mengikuti ujian tersebut. Kami duduk tidak saling berhadapan dengan metode duduk yang telah acak, khusus agar tidak bisa menyontek. Setidaknya aku bisa mengerjakan dengan tenang tanpa merasa takut orang lain akan meminta jawaban dari kami.
Dan hasilnya, aku mendapatkan nilai hasil ulangan harianku dengan nilai yang jelek. Angka 63 berwarna merah berwarna merah, dituliskan begitu besar di sudut kanan atas lembaran jawaban soal ujianku. Miss Devina, guru mata pelajaran GE kami, memerintah kami untuk menuliskan data perolehan nilai-nilai kami yang begitu jelek.
Ia sengaja menyuruh kami melakukan hal tersebut agar kami tahu betapa jeleknya nilai-nilai yang kami peroleh. Dalam satu kelas ini, hanya satu murid yang mendapatkan nilai 8 dan hanya 5 anak yang mendapatkan nilai 6, sedangkan jumlah murid di kelas kami adalah 39. Miss Devina begitu kecewa dengan anak-anak didiknya ini. Ia tidak senang dengan kelas kami yang selalu membuat ribut dan tidak bisa diam.
Bahkan teman-teman sekelasku ini sesekali bersorak kepada anak-anak lain yang mendapat nilai 6, karena nilai mereka lebih jelek. Dan di saat itu, kami berusaha untuk bisa meminta maaf kepada Miss Devina atas semua kelakuan kurang baik yang telah kami lakukan. Namun sampai saat ini, mereka tetap tidak bisa menepati janji mereka. Dan semoga suatu saat nanti mereka bisa menyadari semua kelakuan kurang baik mereka. Amin.
