Kunci jawaban

Pilih bentuk yang benar

  1. b) did she meetSetelah Not only di awal kalimat, kata kerja bantu diletakkan sebelum subjek: did she meet.
  2. c) have I seenRarely di awal memicu inversi, jadi kata kerja bantu have diletakkan sebelum I.
  3. a) thanPolanya tetap: No sooner ... than. Hardly dan scarcely diikuti when.
  4. a) whenHardly had ... diikuti when. Kata penghubung lain tidak termasuk pola ini.
  5. d) did the team realiseOnly after membuka klausa, jadi main clause dibalik: did the team realise. Klausa pertama tetap berurutan normal.
  6. c) shouldDibutuhkan modal sebelum subjek dan passive be: should the storage room be left. Kata bantu lain tidak bisa diikuti be left.
  7. b) did she knowLittle di awal berarti sama sekali tidak dan memicu inversi dengan did: Little did she know.
  8. d) is thereNowhere memicu inversi, dan kata kerja be langsung pindah ke depan there: is there.

Lengkapi kalimat

  1. didNot until membutuhkan inversi dalam main clause, dan past simple membutuhkan did: did the engineers notice.
