Title : The Ability of the first year students of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa in Using Elliptical Sentences.
Consultant I : Drs. H. Nur Asik, M.Hum. Consultant II : Drs. H. Abdul Muis Said, M.Ed
This thesis explained about the students’ ability and their problems in using elliptical sentence.
The problem statements of the research are: 1). what the students’ ability in using elliptical sentences and 2). What are the students’ problems in using elliptical sentences?
The objectives of the research were to find out the students’ ability and their problems in using elliptical sentences at the first year students’ of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa. This research applied descriptive method.
The population of the research was the first year students’ of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa that consists of 364 students and the sample consists 30 students taken one class. In collecting data, the research used two kinds of instruments, namely: (1) objective test and (2) questionnaire. The objective test used to find out the students’ ability in using elliptical sentences and questionnaire was to find out the students’ problems in using elliptical sentences.
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Basically, language is a tool to express concept, idea, opinion and feeling. What one says, informs, tells, or sends needs language, of course (Saukah, Ali and Murdjibjono. 1994: 1).
One of the foreign languages taught in Indonesia is English. It is the first language in Indonesia which is considered important for absorbing development of science, technology and art as well as for building a relation with other nations in the world and it is taught as a compulsory subject from the junior high school and up to some universities, where English has a lot of components, such as: vocabulary, Grammar and sound system they can not be separated among them because they were related to another.
Based on the components of English mentioned above, the writer focuses her attention about grammatical component because it makes the students easy to understand in a sentence so grammatical component as important component that must be learned. Studying grammar helps us become and more effective reader, writer and speaker. Paying more attention to the above simple statement, the researcher can infer that it is impossible to master English without having sufficient knowledge of English grammar. And when they communicate, they would not understand
one another. The student would not be able to do anything more than utter separate items of language.
Elliptical sentences as a part of the structure in general has important points in the learners. When students learn Elliptical sentences, they know about the part of speech, like verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, auxiliary verbs, pronouns, preposition and conjunctions. It can be seen in Elliptical sentences, they can find ellipsis after adjective, ellipsis with auxiliary verb, ellipsis as pronoun, noun preposition and conjunction. They learned how to use and arrange the words or sentences well and many aspects of structure, like clauses (Elliptical sentences), comparison (Elliptical with comparison) and phrases. They can also learn about prose (poetry) because ellipsis can be found in prose.
The main purpose in using elliptical sentences is to enable students to combine two sentences, where one of the sentences abbreviated or omitted to avoid the repetition of necessary words of sentences.
One of the problems in learning English grammar is when the students use elliptical sentence. It is usually difficult for the students to know when and how to use it. So, because of it the researcher inspires to do
a research entitled “The Ability of the first year Students of SMAN 1
B. Problem Statements
Based on the background above, the problem of the research can be described at the following question:
1. What is the ability of the first year students of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa in using elliptical sentence?
2. What are the problems of the first year students of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa in using of elliptical sentence?
C. Objectives of the Research
Based on the problem statements above the research determines the objectives of the research as:
1. To find out the ability of the first year students of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa in using Elliptical sentence.
2. To find out the problems of the first year students of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa in using of elliptical sentence.
D. Significance of the Research
E. Scope of the Research
The researcher focuses on the students’ ability and their problems in
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter deals with the review of related literature presented theories related to the title of the research. It also presents the definition of elliptical sentence.
A. Previous Related Research Findings
According to Hornby(1987: 280), said that: “Ellipsis is the omissions from a sentences of words needed to completed the construction
or meaning”.
Frank (1972: 226) said that: “in general, clauses are bridge in two
ways, one is through omission of words necessary for the full subject-predicate structure.
Further Ibrahim (1991: 135) said that: “Elliptical sentence is a way
to omit a sentence of words needed to complete and simple the construction or meaning.
Lado (1990: 161), said that: “Elliptical sentence as the combining
of two sentences in which have the different subject but the same predicate which means the repetition of predicate.
According to Luhukey in Mariati (2002: 3) Ellipsis was used to combine two sentences by omitting the same words in those sentences to avoid repetition, for examples:
Ihsan is a student Insan is a student
Ihsan is a student and Insan is too.
Having known the definitions above the writer concludes that elliptical sentences are those sentences in which some words are omitted or the combining of two sentences where the some words of the two sentences are omitted but their meanings are the same as the two sentences or their meanings can be understood.
B. Kinds of Elliptical Sentences
According to Fuad Mas’ud (1992: 219-297) there are several kinds
of Elliptical Sentences, they are: 1. Elliptical with “Too” and “So”
According to Jauhari(1983: 148), said that: “elliptical construction
with “too” and “so” particularly are used to comment affirmative (positive)
statement made by someone and also to explain that subject which has mentioned is in the same position with the content of the positive statement and they are also used to combine two sentences which have the same predicates, where one of two sentences must be omitted to avoid the repetition of words. Then in Elliptical construction “too and so” are meant
In combining the sentences with “too” and “so”, they are three
principles that must be paid attention, as follows:
a. If in the first sentence use to be present or past form, therefore, in the sentences that will be combined we, use am, is, are was and were, verb must be accordance with the subject.
Examples:
1) Ihsan is a student
His brother is a student
Ihsan is a student and His brother is too Ihsan is a student and so is his brother 2) I am eating rice at my dormitory
You are eating rice at my dormitory
I am eating rice at my dormitory and you are too I am eating rice at my dormitory and so are you
b. If in the first sentence use to another verb of to be in the present or past form, in combining the sentences researcher use, do, does, or did. The auxiliary verbs must be accordance with the subject. Examples:
1) I want to study English They want to study English
I want to study English and so do they 2) Mr. Abduh bought a new car
Mr. Supriadin bought a new car
Mr. Abduh bought a new car and Mr. Supriadin did too Mr. Abduh bought a new car and so did Mr. Supriadin
c. If in the first sentences use to another verb phrase which consist of auxiliary verb, therefore, in the sentences which are combined researcher use auxiliary verbs. The auxiliary verb must be accordance with the subject.
Examples:
1) He is doing his homework She is doing her homework
He is doing his homework and she is too He is doing his homework and so is she 2) Ita has read the novel
I have read the novel
Ita has read the novel and I have too Ita has read the novel and so have I 2. Elliptical with Either and Neither
Examples:
a. The use of “Either”
Examples:
1) I don’t like apple
He doesn’t like apple
I don’t like apple and He doesn’t either
2) Ainun wasn’t watching TV last night
John wasn’t watching TV last night
Ainun wasn’t watching TV last night and John wasn’t either
3) Ali didn’t ask any question
You didn’t ask any question
Ali didn’t ask any question and you didn’t either
b. The use of “Neither”

1) She doesn’t have to come
I don’t have to come
She doesn’t have to come and neither do I
2) Ita can’t sing well
Michael can’t sing well
Ita can’t sing well and neither can Michael
I have not met her and neither has Fadlin
3. Elliptical with And, or, and But
a. Elliptical with “And”
The expressions are joined by “and”, it is very common to leave
out the same word to avoid repetition and use to accumulate a unit or statement to other unit or statement. (Aryanto,A and Wijono Harun.,1988: 38).
Examples:
1) When two verbs have the same subject, it is not necessary to repeat it.
Examples:
a) He sang and he played the guitar b) Reni was poor and she was stooped
c) Toni brushed his teeth and he went to take a bath d) Reni went to the garden and she took some bananas
e) Aminah goes to the Market and she wants to but something 2) Repeated auxiliary verb can be left out.
Examples:
d) I waiting for my family from Surabaya and I am reading a newspaper.

c) Mr. Anteng is funny in speaking and (funny) in action.
d) I don’t like the man because he is bad in Speaking and (bad) in

3. Is it a color (television) or a (black) and while television.
Elliptical with but can also be used if a clause which is combined is opposite with the one. (Yahya, Iskandar and Suragin,.1998: 2).
1. If the first clause is affirmative the form of the combining of the second
clause, is: Examples:
a. She can dance beautifully I can not dance beautifully
She can dance beautifully, but I can’t.
b. He will come here late
She won’t come here late
He will come here late, but she won’t. c. They must work hard
I mustn’t not work hard
They must work hard, but I mustn’t
d. He said he’d write
He hasn’t write
2. If the first clause is negative, therefore, the form of the combining of the second clause is vice versa, that is:
“The sentence after but must be positive”
Examples:
a) Adi doesn’t like banana
His sister likes banana
Adi doesn’t like banana, but his sister does
b) She can’t dance beautifully
I can dance beautifully
She can’t dance beautifully, but I can
c) Ira didn’t want to go to the beach
Ari wanted to go to the beach

CHAPTER IV
FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
This chapter consists of two sections. The first section deals with the finding of the research, and the second section deals with the discussion of the research.
A. Findings
This part discussed the research findings of the test result of the
students’ in learning Elliptical sentences.
1. The Presentation of the data analysis collected through the test For the purpose of classifying and tabulating the data into percentage rate, the score of each item of the test is firstly determined. This test consists of 20 items, and the score of each item is one point. To know the score of the students, the score of each items (20) is multiplied with the correct answer made by the students.

Based on the result of the data analysis, from the objective test, no one of the students obtain excellent, very good score only 1 (3.33 %), there were not students got good and fairly good score, 12 (40 %) students got fair score, 17 (56.66 %) students got poor score and no one of the students got very poor score.
2. Data Analysis of Questionnaire
From table 2, it shows that from 30 respondents, 9 (30.00 %) of them were very interested, 19 (63.33 %) of them were interested, 2 (6.66 %) of them were uninterested, and no one of them were very uninterested. Based on the analysis above, the researcher concludes that most of the students were interested in learning English, although they sometimes found difficulties in learning English. (see table 3).
Fro table 4, it shows that from 30 respondents, 3 (10.00 %) of them were very interested, 20 (66.66 %) of them were interested, 7 (23.33 %) of them were uninterested, and no one of them were very uninterested. Based on the analysis above, the researcher concludes that most of the students were interested in learning elliptical sentences, although their opinion about studying elliptical sentence was difficult (see table 5).
From table 6, it shows that from 30 respondents, 1 (3.33 %) of them said strongly understand, 22 (73.33 %) of them said understand, 6 (20.00 %) of them said not understand, and 1 (3.33 %) of them said very not understand. Based on the analysis above, the researcher concludes that most of the students said understand in learning elliptical sentences, because
most of them said like with the teachers’ method in learning elliptical
sentences. (see table 7).
said sometimes, and no one of them said never got assignment from their teacher. Based on the analysis above, the researcher concludes that most of the students said sometimes got assignment from their teachers, so it also makes them sometimes, always and seldom made cooperation in doing exercises (see table 9).
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter consists of two sections, the first section deals with the conclusion of the finding of the research and the other deals with suggestion.
A. Conclusions
Based on the finding and discussion in the previous chapter in this
study, the researcher concludes that the students’ mastery of elliptical
sentences is low, it can be proved by from 30 students only one student (3.33 %) got very good and there were not students got excellent score and got fairly good score, 12 (40 %) students’ got fair score, 17 (56.66 %)
students’ got poor score, and no one students got very poor score. The mean
score of the students is 5.4, and based on the classification of the score in advice, it is classified as poor score.
From the analysis obtained through the questionnaire, the researcher
finds out some problems that influence the students’ mastery in using
elliptical sentences:
1. The students’ opinion about studying elliptical sentence is difficult.
2. The teachers just sometimes give the students assignment, so it also makes the students sometimes make cooperation in doing exercises. 3. The resources in the school are limited
4. In the questionnaires’ data analysis The researcher founded that the students were understand and interested in learning elliptical sentences but in the objective test the students got low score. So that why the researcher concluded that the students’ ability in using
elliptical sentences was low because the students’ statement were not
support one another with the score of their objective test.
B. Suggestions
By looking at the conclusion of the research stated above, the writer believes that the mastery of the first year students of SMAN 1 Sungguminasa Gowa in using elliptical sentence can be improved. This can be achieved by doing the following things:
1. The students still complained about English Grammar as a difficult lesson, so the teacher should teach in some various ways of teaching and use technique in teaching grammar.
2. The students should learn how to use elliptical sentence correctly 3. The school should prepare sufficient books in the library especially
