Pengertian Reflexive Pronoun
Reflexive
Pronoun adalah kata ganti yang
berakhiran -self atau -selves. Digunakan bila subject dan object-nya sama, atau
kalau subject-nya memerlukan penekan.
Macam:
Tunggal:
Orang I : myself (saya
sendiri)

(kamu sendiri)

binatang sendiri)
Jamak
(lebih dari 1)
Orang I : ourselves
(kita/ kami sendiri)
Orang II : yourselves
(kalian sendiri)
Orang III : themselves
(mereka sendiri)
Reflexive pronoun bisa
berfungsi sebagai object. Benda/ orang yanag ada dalam object adalah orang/
benda yang sama dengan subject.
Contoh:

myself. I don't want to love others more or less than myself. ( Saya rasa
saya perlu mencintai
diriku sendiri. Aku tidak ingin mencintai orang lain lebih banyak atau
lebih kurang dari

Determiner
Understanding determiner
Determiner
is a word that is placed in front of the noun whose function is to explain the
noun. In English we encounter determiner as will be explained below:

determiner:

Article
for this group is the, a, an. Definite Article serves to demonstrate to certain

When
is an article that is considered definite and indefinite?
Definite,
if the writer or speaker has said the same thing before or specialize in an
object.
Indefinite,

Example:
I
bought a novel yesterday. The novel is borrowed by Annie today.
Note:
"A"
in "a novel" is the Indefinite Article, because I have never
mentioned a previous novel.
"The"
on "the novel" is Definite Artcile novel because I already mentioned
in the first sentence.
The
use of "the" in "the novel" in the second sentence is
specialized that "borrowed novel by Annie" is "a novel that I
bought yesterday".
Note:
Do
not use "the" at any place. Consider the example sentences below:
The
water flows from higher to lower place.
The
above sentence indicates that there are other water does not flow from a high
to a low. Though all of the water flowing from a high place to a lower place.
The
use of "the" in the above sentence is wrong, because we will specify
a particular water.

the" on another topic on this site.
