Some Pertinent Ideas C. The Concept of Pronouns
Personal pronouns are always specific and are often used to replace a noun or a collective group of all people or things. They are three interrogative pronouns - who (for person), what (for thing) and which (for choices involving either person or thing). The most common demonstrative pronouns are the following: this (plural these), and that (plural they).
Pairing self or self with one of the personal pronouns is a reflexive pronoun. Self is used for the singular (he, she, it, mine) and I for the plural (your, our, they). The most common use of reflexive pronouns is the object, in other words, having the same identity as the subject, "reflects back" on the subject.
They are mainly used to stop complex repetition in a sentence, but also to reinforce the idea that collective and reciprocal actions happen to more than one person or thing. Notice in the examples below that there is no set position for where an indefinite pronoun will appear in a sentence. A possessive pronoun, such as: my, yours, ours, etc., is used to refer to a noun when it is understood.
It should be: I locked my suitcase in the car and then my car was stolen.
Difficulty in learning Pronoun
Since the owners charge so much, we can never buy fresh vegetables in that store. The meaning of pronouns is important to know because we can know whether students understand or not in learning pronoun. The meaning of comprehension difficulties means the problem students face in recognizing the pronoun in the sentence.
This difficulty is created by the student when the student chooses the wrong things in the right place. Unlike omission, where the items are not delivered at all, the student delivers in difficulty choosing something, even if it is wrong. For example: My father gives two books to my sister and I, word I is incorrect because I can only be a subject in a sentence.
Descriptive Text
The description starts with the generality of the topic, for example in the topic of Lake Toba, the descriptive text explains the generality of Cool Water Weather most of the tooth in Indonesian, then the second paragraph will give the writer a detail of Lake Toba such as the location , deep, wide, view, etc. The purpose of the description is that the reader or audience will understand the detail of the description of the subject. The entire upper structure is crowned by a large stupa in the center of the upper circle.
Due to its magnificent size and architecture, it is no wonder that Borobudur Temple is included in the 7 wonders of the world. Identification: The purpose of the first paragraph is to identify the subject you wish to describe. For example, the use of an adjective (adjective) to explain a noun (noun) is used for the following phrase: a beautiful beach, a beautiful boy, a popular place in Jepara, etc.
As we know that descriptive text is a text to describe something such as people, places or things. The adjective is colorful, and it is precise and expressive of nouns and verbs. See how the definition of a unit of time in each of the following choices sets a particular mood or emotional tone.
A pronoun is a word that has a function to replace or replace a noun that has been mentioned before and to avoid repetition of the noun. For example: I, you, we, they, he, she, her, while the object of the sentence is used to act as an object.
Research Design
Location and Time of Research
Population and Sample
The writer uses the purposive sampling technique for sampling, based on the teacher's recommendation, class 7.7 was chosen as the sample for the study because the class still lacked pronoun lessons.
Instrument of the Research
It can be said that the test instrument is a research instrument that can be used to obtain information about students' use of pronouns in writing descriptive text because it will measure students' understanding of knowledge. While a questionnaire is used to see what students know about the pronoun and how to use the pronoun when writing descriptive text.
The Procedure of Collecting Data
The Technique of Analysis Data
- The presented data of Students’ ability on the use pronoun in descriptive text
- The presented data of Students’ difficulties on the use pronoun in descriptive text
The table above shows students using possessive and personal pronouns for the first year based on its categories. From the above table it is known that 78.1% students of Strongly Agree, 21.9% students of Agree. From the above table, it is known that 71.9% students strongly agree, 28.1% agree.
It can be concluded, most students know that possessive pronoun is something that belongs to someone. From the table above it is known that 50% students from Agree, 37.5% students from Agree, 12.5% students from undecided. It can be concluded, most students know that personal pronoun can change the subject or object of the sentence.
We can conclude that the average student does not understand that a possessive pronoun is used before a noun. The table above shows that 3.1% of students strongly agree, 3.1% of students agree, 6.3 students are undecided, 28.1% of students disagree and 59.4% of students strongly disagree. The table above shows that 3.1% of students agree, 3.1% of students are undecided, 25% of students disagree and 68.8% of students strongly disagree.
We can conclude that most students still have a poor understanding of the position of the possessive pronoun that can be used as an object. We can conclude that most students know that it can be used for the subject.
Discussion
It seemed that the student could not use the possessive pronoun of the word "she". There are three categories used by the researcher to recognize students' difficulties in using the pronoun. In this questionnaire there were 15 items in the form of statements where 5 statements of understanding, 5 statements in the wrong place and 5 statements about the use of the wrong pronoun.
In understanding comprehension, the researcher noted that five problems occur among seventh-grade students in terms of comprehension. The third problem is “personal pronoun can change the subject or direct object of the sentence”. Another problem for the students regarding the pronoun is that the student assumed that the word “its” had the same meaning as the word “it is.”
In the use of incorrect pronoun, the researcher found that there are five problems in seventh grade students with the use of incorrect pronoun. When using wrong place, the researcher found that there are five problems in seventh grade students with using wrong place.
