Pengertian, Ciri, Contoh Kalimat, dan Latihan Soal Kernel Sentence

Pengertian

Kernel Sentence merupakan kalimat deklaratif (kalimat positif) sederhana yang hanya terdiri dari satu verb (kata kerja) dan tidak memiliki modifier.

Ciri

Ciri dari Kernel sentence adalah

Kalimat Positif

Kernel Sentence berbentuk kalimat affirmative atau kalimat positif.  Kalimat negative (negatif (mengandung not)) dan kalimat interrogative (tanya) bukan merupakan Kernel Sentence.

contoh:

• This is a cow. → kernel sentence
• This is a black cow. → bukan kernel sentence (karena ada adjective yang memodifikasi cow)

Satu Verb

Kernel Sentence hanya memiliki satu kata kerja (verb) saja. Jika terdapat dua verb maka itu bukanlah kernel sentence.

contoh:

• I heard him. → kernel sentence
• I heard him singing the song. → bukan kernel sentence (karena terdiri dari dua kernel sentence: I heard him. dan He was singing the song.)

Kalimat Aktif

Kernel Sentence merupakan kalimat aktif, bukan kalimat pasif.

contoh:

• He closes the window. → kernel sentence
• The window is closed by him. → bukan kernel sentence (karena merupakan kalimat passive (be + v3))

Direct Object

Kernel sentence mungkin memiliki direct object jika kata kerjanya merupakan transitive verb, namun objek tersebut tidak berbentuk gerund (verb+ing) atau infinitive (to+verb).

No Modifier

Kernel Sentence tidak memiliki modifier (phrase, clause, adjective, dan adverb).

contoh:

• She sings. → kernel sentence
• She sings beautifully. → bukan kernel sentence (karena terdapat modifier: adverb beautifully)
