Perbedaan am dan pm dalam waktu

Bahasa Inggris itu memang sulit bagi sebagian orang dan begitu mudah bagi sebagian orang yang lain. Apalagi untuk orang inggris itu sendiri kan?
Sekarang kita bahas yang sederhana tapi kadang lumayan membingungkan.
Menyambung dengan artikel sebelumnya tentang tellingthe time, sering ada pertanyaan apa perbedaan am dan pm dalam bahasa Inggris untuk menunjukkan waktu? Terkadang ketika menyetel waktu pada jam tangan ataupun komputer kita memilih waktu 24 jam, karena itu yang sederhana dan mudah. Tapi ketika memakai sistem 12 jam, muncul pilihan am atau pm ketika mengatur waktu. Kadang lupa ya?
Kita mulai bahasannya ya?
Am (ante meridiem) dan pm (post meridiem)
Ini perbedaan antara am dan pm
am
pm
12 malam – 12 siang
12 siang – 12 malam

Mudah ya? Berikut contohnya:
02.00 am        = jam 2 pagi
07.00 am        = jam 7 pagi
08.00 am        = jam 8 pagi
11.00 am        = jam 11 siang

Pm contohnya:
02.00 pm        = jam 2 siang
05.00 pm        = jam 5 sore
08.00 pm        = jam 8 malam
10.00 pm        = jam 10 malam
11.00 pm        = jam 11 malam
Selamat belajar dan semoga bermanfaat

Perbedaan artikel a/an dan the

Hello, guys!
Kita akan bahas sedikit tentang artikel a/ an, dan the. Bagaimana cara membedakan keduanya dan bagaimana penggunaanya dalam kalimat. Kita mulai ya?!

Artikel a/an
Artikel a/an sebenarnya memiliki arti satu, sebuah, sepotong, seorang ataupunpun secarik. Jadi pada dasarnya a/an ini menunjukkan tunggal/ singular.
Contohnya:
A pencil                       sebuah pensil
A teacher                    seorang guru

Artikel a digunakan di depan kata benda yang huruf depannya konsonan (huruf selain a,i,u,e,o).
Contoh:
A classroom                sebuah kelas
A blackboard              sebuah papan tulis

Artikel an digunakan di depan kata benda yang huruf depannya vokal (a,i, u,e,o)
Contoh:
An egg                         sebutir telur
An elephant                seekor gajah
An umbrella                sebuah paying
Cukup jelas ya?

Tapi ingat ada beberapa kata seperti
University       memakai         a university  (sebuah perguruan tinggi/ universitas)
Kenapa memakai artikel a padahal kata university diawali oleh vokal? Karena bunyi u pada university dibaca seperti y maka dianggap konsonan, sehingga memakai artikel a.
Hour               memakai         an hour (satu jam)
Kata hour walaupun diawali oleh konsonan tapi h pada kata hour adalah soundless artinya seolah-olah tidak ada, maka artikel yang digunakannya adalah an.


Artikel the

Artikel the biasa disebut juga dengan definite article. The ini digunakan untuk kata benda tunggal/singular dan juga jamak/ plural. Ada beberapa penggunaan the, antara lain :

a.         the digunakan untuk benda/ hal  yang unik.
            The sun, the moon, the 21st century.
b.         the digunakan untuk menyebutkan benda untuk kedua kalinya atau benda yang sudah disebutkan sebelumnya.
            There is a table in the living room. the table is big and beautiful.
c.          the dipakai di depan nama tempat geografis.
            The Gobi Desert, the Himalayas, the Atlantic Ocean.
d.         the juga dipakai di depan sebuah grup/ kelompok orang ataupun keluarga.
            The olds (para orang tua) , the poor (si miskin), the Smiths (keluarga Smith) , the Fishers                  (keluarga Fisher)

Gampang kan? Semoga bermanfaat.
