CHAPTER III
SIMPLE SENTENCE IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGE
3.1 Some Definitions of Simple Sentence in Indonesian Language
In Indonesian language, simple sentence is called “Kalimat Tunggal or “Kalimat Sederhana” which means the sentence have one subject and one predicate. In other word, it can called as main clause (induk kalimat) without sub-clause (anak kalimat).
In Indonesian dictionary, “Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia” it is states as follow:
M. Ramlan (1987), in his book “Ilmu Bahasa Indonesia Syntaksis” says that:
“Kalimat yang terdiri dari satu klausa disebut kalimat sederhana ,…..”
(M. Ramlan, Ilmu Bahasa Indonesia, Syntaksis, p.49)
“The sentence which contains of one clause called simple sentence,..”
(M. Ramlan, Ilmu Bahasa Indonesia, Syntaksis, p.49)
Hasan Alwi (2003), in his book “Tata Bahasa Baku Bahasa Indonesia” says that:
“Kalimat tunggal adalah kalimat yang terdiri atas satu klausa.”
(Hasan Alwi, Tata Bahasa Baku Bahasa Indonesia, p.338)
“Simple sentence is a sentence which contains of one clause.”
(Hasan Alwi, Tata Bahasa Baku Bahasa Indonesia, p.338).
Furthermore, Gorys Keraf (1976) explains if a sentence contains only one pattern, while its broadening does not form a new pattern more, so it is simple sentence. In other words, simple sentence is the sentence which contains only two elements as essence which may broadened with one or more element additions as long as that additions are not form a new pattern. From those definition above, the simple sentence is not only in short pattern S + P (Subject + predicate) but both subject and predicate may have modifiers it means simple sentence can be also in a long sentence as long as in one pattern. The following sentences are simple because each contains only one clause.
Examples :
1) Subjek menarik. ( Indonesian Language)
(S) (P)
= The subject is interesting. à (English)
2) Mereka belajar bahasa Indonesia
(S) (P) (O)
= The study Indonesian language. à (English)
3) Kami bermain bola pagi ini. (I. L)
(S) (P) (O) (adv)
= We play the football this morning. (English)
3.2. The Simple Sentence Patterns in Indonesian Language
From those definitions in (3.1.) that simple is not only in short pattern containing of one subject and one predicate, but both subject and predicate may have modifiers. So, it is possible that simple sentence can be also in a long pattern as long as still in one clause and its modifiers are not form a new pattern. There are ten simple sentence patterns in Indonesian langue (Alwi, 2003 : 338), they are :
- Subject + Predicate
- Subject + Predicate + Object
- Subject + Predicate + Complement
- Subject + Predicate (passive verb) + Object
- Subject + Predicate (adjectival)
- Subject + Marker “itu” + Predicate (nominal)
- Subject + Predicate (numeral)
- Subject + Predicate (prepositional)
- Subject + Predicate + Adverb
- Subject + Predicate + Object + Adverb

3.2.1 Pattern 1 : or
This pattern is the simplest sentence pattern in Indonesian language, which does not use the object and complement, it is called Intransitive sentence (Alwi, 2003 : 339). Commonly, the noun is often used as the subject and the verb is preceed by prefixes ber- and me- are often used as the predicate in this pattern.
Examples :
1) Dia berjalan. à (1.L)
(S) (P)
= We walk. à (English)
2) Ibu Memasak. à (1.L)
(S) (P)
= My Mother cooks. à (English)
| ||||
| ||||
3.2.2 Pattern 2 : or
This simple sentence pattern consists of three elements: subject, predicate and objects. Because the predicate is followed by one object, this simple sentence is called Monotransitive sentence or Kalimat Ekatransitif (Alwi, 2003 ; 314).
Examples:
1) Kami menangkap ayam itu. à (1.L)
(S) (P) (O)
= We catch the hen. à (English)
2) Mereka menyetujui keputusannya. à (I.L)
(S) (P) (O)
= They agree with her / his decision. à (English)
Moreover, Ramlan (1987 : 93) explains that because of the predicate in a sentences is a transitive verb, the sentence is also followed by two objects. One object is called first object (O1) and another object is called second object (O2). Both O1 and O2 have the same characteristic that placed after or behind of the predicate in a sentence. According to Alwi (2003 : 342) emphasizes that the predicate in a sentences is followed by two objects, this simple sentence is called Double Transitive or Kalimat Dwitransitif. The suffix-kan placed after the bare infinitive (V1) is commonly used as the predicate in this pattern.

1) Dia membaca surat
(S) (P) (O1) (O2)

2). Kami membuatkan baju anak itu. à (I.L)
(S) (P) (O1) (O2)
= We make a dress to that child. à (English)
|
3.2.3 Pattern 3 :
This pattern consist of subject, predicate, and complement. The complement is placed also behind of the predicate, but different with O1 and O2 which can change into passive sentence, complement can not change to passive sentence, because the complement may be n passive sentence (Ramlan, 1987 : 96).
The suffix -kan
Examples :
1) Orang tua itu selalu berbuat kebaikan. à (I.L)
(S) (P) (Comp.)
= The man is always do the goodness. à (English)
2) Ayah dibelikan sebuah kemeja baru. à (I.L)

3) Negara Indonesia berdasarkan Pancasila. à (I.L)
(S) (P) (Comp.)

This simple sentence pattern consists of three elements ; subject, passive verb and object. The predicate in this pattern is in passive verb which passive verb is usually signed by prefixes di-, ter-, and the word “oleh”. There is two ways in making a passive sentence in Indonesian language they are; first, with use the verb signing by the prefix di- and without use the verb signing by the prefix di- (Alwi, 2003 : 345).

3) Mobil itu sudah saya cuci. à (I. L)
(S) (Passive V)

Note: The passive verb in the example 3) is without use the verb signing by prefix di-.
Furthermore, Alwi (2003) explains that simple sentence can followed by prefix ter- which in this case indicates that the verb is the result of action that is unintentional. Prefix ter- is placed before the bare infinitive (V1).

This pattern consists of subject and predicate. But the predicate in this case is adjective. According to Alwi (2003 : 349), in Indonesian language a predicate may be in an adjective or adjectival phrase in a sentence.

In Indonesian language, declarative sentences as one type of simple sentences are also called Kalimat Berita. Declarative sentence is a simple sentence which used by the speaker or writer to convey information or news or make a statement directly addressed to the second person or listener or reader (Alwi, 2003 : 353).
The characteristics of this simple a sentence are first, signed by the mark or sign of point (.) at the end of a sentence. Second, in oral speaking this simple sentence is ended by low intonation.

3.3.2. Interrogative Sentences
In Indonesian language interrogative sentences is also called Kalimat Tanya as the type of simple sentence also. Interrogative sentence is a simple sentence which used by the speaker to ask something that the speaker knows yet (Keraf : 1970).
In oral speaking or writing, this simple sentence commonly needs the answer yes or no and the information about something from some one as interlocutor or a reader (Alwi, 2003 : 358).
Mofeover, Ramlan (1987 : 357) emphasizes about the characteristics of interrogative sentence ; first, informally interrogative sentence is signed by the interrogative words ; apa, siapa, berapa, mengapa, kenapa, bagaimana, kapan, mana. and they can be added by the particle – kah in the end of the words or the verbs to affirm the question. The position of the interrogative words can be in beginning or the end of a sentence. Second, in writing this simple sentence is signed by interrogative sign (?) in the end of sentence while in oral speaking this simple sentence is ended by increased intonation.
