COMMAND & PROHIBITION

COMMAND
USAGE: English Command is an expression to ask or to get something done by other people.
Command has two patterns, they are Verbal Command and Nominal Command.
VERBAL COMMAND
KEY: place a bare infinitive at the beginning of the sentence!

For Examples;
Stand up! (berdiri!/ berdirilah!)
Sit down! (duduk!/ duduklah!)
Come in! (masuk!/ masuklah!)
Come on in! (ayo masuk!/ ayo masuklah!)
Talk to me! (bicaralah padaku!)
Tell me! (beritahu saya!)
Go with me! (pergilah bersama/denganku!)
Love me! (cintai!/ cintailah aku!)
Help me! (tolong/bantu-lah aku!)
Stay with me! (tinggallah bersamaku!)
Get out! (keluar!)
Go to school! (pergilah ke sekolah!)
Go to sleep! (tidurlah!)
Buy me sate! (belikan saya sate!)
Come in time! (datanglah tepat waktu!)
Keep out! (menjauh dari sini!)
To make the command more polite, use please at the beginning or at the end of the
sentence!
For Examples;
Please speak slowly! (tolong bicaralah yang pelan!)
Speak slowly, please! (tolong bicaralah yang pelan!)
Please sit down! (silahkan duduk!)
Sit down, please! (silahkan duduk!)
Please save me! (aku mohon selamatkanlah aku!)

NOMINAL COMMAND
KEY: place Be at the beginning of the sentence! And use a non-verb behind it! Read
more .......

For Examples;
Be careful! (ber-hati-hatilah!/ hati-hati!)
Be deligent! (rajin-rajinlah!)
Be silent! (tenanglah!/ diamlah!)
Be quiet! (tenanglah!/ diamlah!)
Be a good student! (jadilah siswa yang baik!)
Be at home soon! (beradalah dirumah/ pulanglah segera!)
Be on time! (tepat waktulah!)
Be aware of dog! (awas anjing!)
Study this follows!
Please be honest to me! (tolong-jujurlah padaku!)
Be honest to me, please! (tolong-jujurlah padaku!)
PROHIBITION
USAGE: Prohibition is an expression to warn other people not to do something. Or to
forbide. Like in Command expression, Prohibition also has two patterns, they are Verbal
Prohibition and Nominal Prohibition.
VERBAL PROHIBITION
KEY: place Dont or Do not before a Bare Infinitive!
For Examples;
Dont do it! (jangan lakukan itu!)
Dont lie to me! (jangan bohong padaku!)
Dont enter the room! (jangan masuk ke ruangan itu!)
Do not follow me! (jangan ikuti saya!)
Dont steal! (janganlah mencuri!)
Dont go away from me! (jangan pergi dariku!)
Dont leave me alone! (jangan tinggalkan aku sendiri!)
Dont forget! (jangan lupa!)
Dont move! (jangan bergerak!)
Dont disturb him! (jangan ganggu dia!)
Dont play truant! (jangan membolos!)
Dont let me down! (jangan kecewakan aku!)
Dont let him go! (jangan lepaskan dia!)
Dont let her break your love! (jangan biarkan dia putuskan cintamu!

Dont make me angry! (jangan membuatku marah!)

Dont make me do it! (jangan paksa aku melakukannya!)
Dont shout! (jangan teriak!)
Dont read loudly (jangan baca dengan keras!)
Dont trust him! (jangan mempercayainya!)
Dont blame her! (jangan salahkan dia!)
To make a polite prohibition, use please at the beginning or at the end of the sentence!
Please dont cry! (janganlah menangis!)
Dont cry, please! (janganlah menangis!)
Please dont shoot the bird! (tolong jangan tembak burung itu!)
Dont shoot the bird, Please! (tolong jangan tembak burung itu!)
NOMINAL PROHIBITION
KEY: Place Dont Be or Do Not Be before a non-verb!

For Examples;
Dont be lazy! (jangan malas!)
Dont be crazy! (jangan konyol!)
Dont be stupid! (jangan bodoh!)
Dont be careless! (jangan ceroboh!)
Dont be stingy! (janganlah pelit!)
Dont be late! (jangan terlambat!)
Dont be confused! (jangan bingung!)
Dont be angry at me! (jangan marah padaku!)
When we would like to emphasize something forbidden to do, we can change the main
element of prohibition structure by using Never.
For Examples;
Dont touch her!
or,
Dont ever touch her!
or,
Never touch her!
Beside the pattern above, we can also use this follows pattern!

For Examples;
No smoking! (dilarang merokok!)

No parking! (dilarang parkir!)

This follows is included both prohibition and command although there is no an exact pattern
in it we can find because it warns everybody about something important to or not to do
something when they read it, like;
Danger! (Bahaya!)
Study this following sentence and translate it into Indonesian language!
Speak to me!
Look at me!
Think it first!
Put it down!
Dont waste your time and money!
Never see my daughter!
Try to speak English!
Keep your promise!
Dont forget to come here immediately!
Be mine, shinta!
Dont be naughty!
Never be right here anymore!
Close your eyes!
Keep writing!
Stop smoking!
Start to write down!
Keep your words!
Keep the baby!
Send this letter to the post office, please!
Turn off the light!
Pray dawn on time!
