So Such and Third If Conditional

So Such 

So dan such adalah dua hal yang mungkin sering kita temukan dalam berbagai bentuk kalimat di bahasa Inggris. Keduanya, digunakan untuk menekankan suatu pernyataan. Saya ambil contoh dalam bahasa Indonesia, kalimat “dia mempunyai seorang putri.” adalah kalimat yang biasa dan normal, tetapi, kalimat “dia mempunyai seorang putri yang sangat-sangat cantik.”, merupakan kalimat dengan penekanan tertentu sehingga menimbulkan arti yang berbeda. Disitulah fungsi dari so dan such yaitu sebagai penekanan statement di kalimat.

Contoh Kalimat So … That, Such … That

• He is so strong that he can lift the table alone.
• Dores is such an idiot that even he did know who our first president is.
• Tiara is so beautiful that even there is a teacher who loves her.

So maupun Such mempunyai struktur tersendiri sehingga Anda perlu memperhatikan bagaimana penggunaannya.

So + Adjective/Adverb + That

• She is so perfect that I never criticize him.
• The president speaks so clearly that everyone can hear his speech.
• The thief is so fast that no one can catch him.
• Daniel’s feet are so big that we are hard to find his shoes.

Such + Noun + That

• He is such a tall person that no one can reach his head.
• Gabriel is such a handsome man that almost every woman is interested in him.
• This is such a big shoe that even my father can’t wear it.

 Third If Conditional 

Ada tiga kondisi dalam menggunakan ‘if’ pada kalimat. First If Conditional menceritakan tentang hal yang dapat terjadi di masa depan. Second If Conditional menceritakan tentang apa yang dapat terjadi di masa depan namun belum tentu dapat terjadi dan dapat diwujudkan kapan saja, seperti mimpi atau angan-angan. Terakhir, Third If Conditional menceritakan tentang apa yang dapat terjadi di masa depan namun sudah dipastikan tidak akan terjadi (no possibility).
Contoh kalimat:
If James won the game show, he would have bought a house
Kalimat diatas menunjukkan bahwa bila seandainya James memenangkan game show tersebut, ia sudah pasti menggunakan hadiahnya untuk membeli rumah. Namun kenyataannya James tidak menang dalam game show tersebut sehingga ia tidak dapat membeli rumah.

Struktur Kalimat

 

Struktur dari kalimat third if conditional:
If + Past Perfect (Subject + had + verb 3) + Subject + would have + Verb 3
Contoh kalimat:
-If I had saved a lot of money, I would have gone travelling.
-If she had not gotten mad, they would have been together.
-If Steve had not been late at work too many times, he would have kept his job.
Struktur kalimat dari third if conditional juga bisa dibalik seperti berikut:
Subject + would have + Verb 3 + If + Past Perfect (Subject + had + verb 3)
Contoh kalimat:
-I would’ve invited you to the party if you had been available all day.
-I would’ve gone to dinner outside if it had not been raining all day.
-Her mom would be so mad if she had not passed the exam.
Ada beberapa kalimat yang ‘if’ dapat diartikan secara tersirat, seperti:
-I wouldn’t have been late (if I had woken up early)
