Abbreviation di dalam tata bahasa Inggris, adalah singkatan. Atau di dalam kata lain, yaitu memendekkan kata. Tapi di dalam memendekkan kata bukan asal memendekkan saja.
Abbreviation di dalam bahasa Inggris, ada kekhususan yang bisa dipendekkan, yaitu hanya kata kerja bantu saja (auxiliary verb).
examples :
1. He is = He's
2. She is not = She isn't
3. I could not = I couldn't
4. I cannot = I can't
5. They are = They're
6. They are not = The aren't
7. I will = I'll
8. I will not = I won't
9. I am = I'm
10. He does not = He doesn't
11. I do not = I don't
12. I did not = I didn't
13. He has not = He hasn't
14. I have not = I haven't
15. She was not = She wasn't
16. I must not = I mustn't
17. I shall not = I shan't
18. You should not = You shouldn't
19. I would not = I wouldn't
20. We were not = We weren't
21. I had not = I hadn't
22. They have = They've
23. You had = You'd
24. It is = It's
Jadi sekali lagi bahwa yang bisa dipendekkan di dalam tata bahasa Inggris hanya kata kerja bantu saja. Sedangkan kata he, she, I, they pada contoh di atas, adalah tidak bisa dipendekkan.
Catatan :
Penggunaan kata Not dan No di dalam kalimat. Not adalah dipakai untuk membuat kata kerja negatif, misal : I don't have any sugar. Sedangkan No, adalah dipakai sebagai kata sifat di depan kata benda, msial : I have no sugar.
Jadi kalimat I don't have any sugar dan / have no sugar, kedua kalimat itu mempunYai arti yang sama.
Rangkuman :
I. Abbreviation artinya singkatan.
2. Abbreviation yang boleh di dalam bahasa Inggris, adalah hanya kata kerja bantu saja.
