How do you think about the general election this year?

This year Indonesia will hold elections to determine who the next president. There are two candidates in general election. First candidate is Prabowo-Hatta and the second one is Jokowi-JK.  I think in every general election is, we as a citizen will have difficult choice because every candidates have their own  vision and mission. and they are have an advantages also disadvantages in their way. but we must to choose the best in our way. so we must be participate in general election this year and looking forward for the winner. 

ADVERBS , NEGATIVE AND COMMANDS


ADVERBS
The part of speech (or word class) that is primarily used to modify a verb,adjective, or other adverb. Adverbs can also modify prepositional phrases,subordinate clauses, and complete sentences. Adjective: adverbial.Positions of an Adverb:An adverb that modifies an adjective ("quite sad") or another adverb ("very carelessly") appears immediately in front of the word it modifies. An adverb that modifies a verb is generally more flexible: it may appear before or after the verb it modifies ("softly sang" or "sang softly"), or it may appear at the beginning of the sentence ("Softly she sang to the baby"). The position of the adverb may have an effect on the meaning of the sentence.Functions of an Adverb:Adverbs typically add information about time (rarely, frequently, tomorrow), manner (slowly, quickly, willingly), or place (here, there, everywhere) in addition to a wide range of other meanings.Forms of an Adverb:Many adverbs--especially adverbs of manner--are formed fromadjectives by the addition of the ending -ly (easily, dependably). But many common adverbs (just, still, almost, not) do not end in -ly, and not all words that end in -ly (friendly, neighborly) are adverbs. See "Observations," below.Examples:1.      "To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive."
(Robert Louis Stevenson)

2.      "War puts its questions 
stupidly, peace mysteriously."
(Andre Malraux)

NEGATIVE
Either – Neither
Either or neither di gunakan untuk menggabungkan kalimat negative.
[S1 + auxiliary not + V + O dan S2 + auxiliary not + either / neither
+ auxiliary + S2]
Neither = not either, oleh karenanya setelah auxiliary tidak, tidak disertai „not‟lagi
Example:
- They do not come late
- Brian does not come late
- They do not come late and Brian does not either / neither does Brian
Kalimat pertanyaan pertama yang mengandung kata: never, seldom, rarely, hardly, few and little dianggap memiliki pengertian negative.

Example: I seldom visit my uncle, and neither does my sister
I rarely visit my uncle, but my sister does.
Gabungan Setara 

Bilamana kata „either‟ dan „neither‟ di ikuti oleh „or‟ dan „nor‟kata kerja/ auxiliarynya mungkin singular atau pun plural (jamak) bergantung pada kata setelah „or‟ atau „nor‟ apakah singular atau plural. 
Kalaupun kata „or‟ atau „nor‟ berdiri sendiri, verb tetap di temukan oleh kata setelah „or‟ atau „nor‟. 
Neither John nor Bill is going to class today 
Either John or Bill is going to the beach today. 
Neither John nor his friends are going to class todayrarely, hardly, barely 
Rarely adalah adverb of frequency yang menunjukkan intensitas waktu (how often) sedangkan hardly dan barely adalah adverb of measurement yang menujukkan ke tidakmampuan / kesulitan seseorang untukmelakukan sesuatu ketiganya mempunyai arti yang sama.
Contoh 
Marti rarely drinks coffee 
(marti hampir tidak pernah minum kopi) 
Do yo hardly ever get sick 
(apakah kamu hampir tidak pernah jatuh sakit?)

COMMANDS AND NEGATIVE COMMANDS
In positive commands, we use the INFINITIVE VERB without "to" and without SUBJECT:

                     ·         Look at me.
                     ·         Help!
                     ·         Be quiet.
                     ·         Be good.

                     ·         Shut up!
                     ·         Call the police!
                     ·         Wait a minute.
