Definition of Transformation Sentence

Based on the Big Indonesian Dictionary, word "transformation" is defined as a change of grammatical structure into another grammatical structure by adding, subtracting, or rearranging elements in it. Transformation sentences can be interpreted as sentences that experience changes in the main subject of the main sentence. This change can be by adding, subtracting, or rearranging the elements in the sentence.

Types of Transformation Sentences

Types of transformation sentences are distinguished based on the way the transformation sentences are formed. Transformation sentences can be formed by reversing the order of sentences, adding particles, changing single sentences into compound sentences, changing sentences compound into a single sentence, changing the news sentence into a question or command sentence, adding or subtracting sentence elements (must not change the meaning) sentence).

1. Sentence Transformation by reversing the order of sentences

The first way to get a transformation sentence can be by reversing the order of the sentences. For example, the initial sentence pattern of a sentence is the subject - predicate, then the transformation sentence can be formed by reversing the sentence pattern so that it becomes a predicate - subject pattern. Examples of this first type of transformation sentence include:

No.	Initial Sentence	Transformation Sentence
a.	He passed the test.	Pass her exam.
b.	That man has a bald head	That guy's bald head
c.	The family is very romantic.	Very romantic family.

2. Transformation sentences by adding the particles

The second type of transformation sentence is obtained by adding the particle to the modified sentence. This second method is actually a continuation of the first method. After the order of the sentences is reversed, then the particles are added. The following is an example of a second type of transformation sentence:

No.	Initial Sentence	Transformation Sentence
a.	Doctor Ryan's son got married yesterday.	Doctor Ryan, sonhis, got married yesterday.
b.	The village head's house caught fire last night.	Head village, homehis, burned yesterday.

3. Sentence Transformation by changing a single sentence into a compound sentence

Transformation sentences can also be formed by changing a single sentence into a compound sentence. Consider this third type of transformation sentence in the following example:

No.	Initial Sentence	Transformation Sentence
a.	Mother is frying chicken.	a. The pale-faced mother was frying chicken.
b. Mother is frying rotten chicken.

4. Sentence Transformation by changing news sentences into interrogative sentences or commands

Transformation sentences can also be formed by changing the initial sentence in the form of a news sentence into a command sentence or an interrogative sentence. The formation of transformation sentences in this way is also known as changing intonation. In writing, this type of transformation sentence differs only in the punctuation used. Here's an example:

No.	Initial Sentence	Transformation Sentence
a.	Anton left the house.	a. Anton left the house?
b. Anton left the house!

5. Sentence Transformation by adding or subtracting sentence elements

The next way to form a transformation sentence is to add or subtract elements in the sentence. The meaning in the transformation sentence is the same as the initial sentence, there are only additions information. Example:

No.	Initial Sentence	Transformation Sentence
a.	Dad is eating.	a. Dad is having lunch.
b. Father is eating with mother.
c. Yesterday my father ate.

6. Transformation sentences by means of denial

The last way to form a transformation sentence is by negation. The way of denial is done by changing the meaning of the sentence to the opposite. Here's an example:

No.	Initial Sentence	Transformation Sentence
a.	I can be patient with all this lowly treatment.	I not can be patient with all this lowly treatment.
b.	The success of the ruler was due to the help of the people.	The triumph of that ruler not because of the people's help.
