GridKids.id - Hi, Kids. How are you today?
Masih bersama GridKids untuk membahas materi Bahasa Inggris dalam buku English For Nusantara kelas VIII SMP, nih.
Kali ini kamu akan masuk ke section 4 - Language Focus: Describing Feelings di halaman 94.
Di artikel ini kamu akan diajak menunjukkan perasaan atau emosi dalam sebuah cerita.
Sebuah cerita biasanya termasuk di dalamnya hubungan antara karakternya.
Salah satu cara menunjukkan hubungan antaranya adalah dengan menggunakan beberapa ekspresi seperti 'puas', 'marah', 'khawatir' dan 'merasa bersalah'.
Ekspresi ini dikenal dengan istilah adjectives, yang fungsinya membantu karakter mengekspresikan perasaannya dalam dunia cerita.
Menggunakan adjectives bisa membantu pembaca mengetahui lebih banyak tentang perasaan karakter dalam cerita.
Contohnya, dalam cerita ditunjukkan kalau Ibu bebek merasa khawatir Itik buruk rupa merasa sedih.
Adjectives bisa mengikuti setelah 'to be', adjectives yang datang setelah past tense forms dari 'to be', 'was' dan 'were' karena biasanya kita sering menggunakan past tense dalam menarasikan sebuah cerita. Lihat contoh-contohnya di bawah ini:
- The Ugly Duckling was sad. Nobody wanted to be his friend. (Showing the Ugly Duckling's feeling sad)
- The yellow ducklings were not happy to see the Ugly Duckling (Showing the yellow duckling's feeling unhappy)

The Adjectives juga bisa ditambahkan setelah beberapa kata kerja, yang paling umum digunakan misalnya 'merasa' dan 'menjadi'.
Kata kerja ini juga harusnya ada pada bentuk past tense-nya, yaitu 'felt' (past tense dari feel) dan 'became' (past tense dari become).
:
- The Ugly Duckling felt heartbroken (showing the Ugly Duckling's feeling heartbroken)
- Mother Duck became worried aboput the Ugly Duckling (showing Mother Duck's feeling worried)
- The Ugly Duckling became happy to live with the white swans (showing the Ugly Duckling's feeling happy).
