Pembahasan ini merupakan lanjutan dari unit sebelumnya “Gerund dan Infinitif: Verb+Gerund atau Infinitif 1” tentang perbedaan makna kalimat apabila kata kerja digunakan bersama gerund dan apabila kata kerja digunakan bersama infinitif.
Gerund dan infinitif: perbedaan jelas dalam makna Kata kerja ini bisa diikuti oleh gerund atau infinitif tetapi disertai dengan perubahan makna.
Forget / regret / remember
Apabila kata kerja-kata kerja ini digunakan bersama dengan gerund maka mereka menunjuk pada sesuatu yang terjadi sebelum waktu tertentu. Apabila kata kerja-kata kerja ini digunakan bersama dengan infinitif maka mereka menunjuk pada sesuatu yang terjadi saat atau setelah waktu tertentu.
ForgetForget bersama gerund sering digunakan dengan never untuk menyatakan tindakan sebelumnya yang dapat diingat.
- I’ll never forget going to Japan.
- Don’t forget to meet me at 5.00.
Regret bersama gerund menunjuk pada tindakan yang dilakukan sebelumnya.
- I don’t regret leaving my job.
Regret bersama infinitif digunakan untuk memberikan berita buruk dengan cara yang formal dan sopan. Ini sering digunakan bersama dengan kata kerja to say, to announce, to tell you dan to inform you.
- We regret to inform you the interview is cancelled.
- I remember meeting you last year. (makna: Saya pernah bertemu kamu sebelumnya).
- Please remember to close the door. (makna: Lain kali harap tutup pintu.)
- Andi remembered to wash the dishes. (Andi mengingat bahwa dia perlu mencuci piring).
- Andi remembered washing the dishes. (Andi mengingat bahwa dia sudah mencuci piring tadi).
Intinya bahwa “remember” yang diikuti oleh gerund berarti “mengingat bahwa sebuah pekerjaan telah dilakukan” sedangkan “remember” yang diikuti oleh to infinitive berarti “mengingat bahwa sebuah pekerjaan perlu dilakukan“.
Go on
Go on bersama gerund berarti melanjutkan sebuah tindakan yang sedang berlangsung. Contoh:Go on
- I want to go on studying here.
- After university, he went on to study law.
Mean bersama gerund menunjukkan akibat-akibat negatif. Contoh:
- You can buy a new car, but it means spending a lot of money.
- He means to leave his job next month.
- I didn’t mean to make you angry.
Try
Try dengan gerund digunakan untuk anjuran-anjuran.
- “I need to lose weight.” “Try exercising and eating healthy food”.
- “I’m really hot.” “Try sitting here, it’s much cooler.”
- I tried to lift it but I can’t.
- I’ll try to finish this by tomorrow morning.
Stop bersama gerund berarti mengakhiri sebuah tindakan.
- I stopped eating fast food last year.
- I can’t stop loving you.
- Stop being so annoying!
- I was walking to the subway station, and I stopped to say “Hi” to my friends.
- I was working at home, and I stopped to answer the ‘phone.
Come bersama gerund berarti pergerakan dengan kesan mengherankan atau menyenangkan.
- The ball came flying toward me – it almosty hit me on the head!
