Negative Sentences of Present Tense in Indonesian Language

Hello Katabah!

Let’s make negative sentences using Present Tense pattern in Indonesian language! Indonesian doesn’t know adding of “do/does+not”, but enough using “tidak” (not) before verb.

Pattern (Verbal Sentence):

Subject + Tidak + Verb 1 +Object

Examples:

1. Saya tidak mengambil buku.

(I don’t take a book)

Mengambil: verb

2. Dia (perempuan) tidak mengambil buku.

(She doesn’t take a book)

mengambil: verb

3. Mereka tidak membeli seekor burung.

(They don’t buy a bird)

membeli: verb

4. Seekor kucing bermain di atas meja.

(A cat plays on the table)

bermain: verb

5. Kami tidak pergi ke sekolah.

(We don’t go to school)

pergi: verb

OK. That’s all. Hopefully, we can speak and write Indonesian language better and better.
