100 Common Mistakes In English (31-35)

COMMON MISTAKES IN ENGLISH 

---

❌ 31. "Enter into the room" → ✅ "Enter the room"

Penjelasan: Kata kerja enter adalah transitive verb — langsung diikuti objek tanpa preposisi into. "Enter into the room" berlebihan.

Contoh kalimat benar:

1. Please enter the building through the front door.
2. She quietly entered the classroom while everyone was reading.
3. You must show your ID before you enter the office.

---

❌ 32. "Discuss about the problem" → ✅ "Discuss the problem"

Penjelasan: Sama seperti enter, kata discuss adalah transitive verb. Langsung diikuti objek tanpa about. Bandingkan dengan talk about yang memang butuh about.

Contoh kalimat benar:

1. We need to discuss the proposal before the deadline.
2. The team discussed the issues during the meeting.
3. Let's discuss your plan over lunch.

---

❌ 33. "Emphasize on the importance" → ✅ "Emphasize the importance"

Penjelasan: Emphasize adalah transitive verb — tanpa preposisi on. Namun perlu diingat: stress dan emphasis (bentuk noun) membutuhkan on: place emphasis on, lay stress on.

Contoh kalimat benar:

1. The teacher emphasized the importance of reading every day.
2. I want to emphasize the main point of this presentation.
3. She always emphasizes teamwork in her classes.

---

❌ 34. "Request for a ticket" → ✅ "Request a ticket"

Penjelasan: Request sebagai verb (kata kerja) bersifat transitif — langsung diikuti objek. Tapi request sebagai noun (kata benda) menggunakan for: make a request for.

Contoh kalimat benar:

1. I would like to request a refund for this item.
2. He requested permission to leave early.
3. Please request the document from the administration office.

---

❌ 35. "Order for food" → ✅ "Order food"

Penjelasan: Order sebagai kata kerja adalah transitive — tanpa for. Namun sebagai kata benda: place an order for menggunakan for.

Contoh kalimat benar:

1. Let's order pizza for dinner tonight.
2. She ordered a new laptop from the online store.
3. I already ordered coffee for everyone in the office.

Pola yang sama: Kelima kata kerja ini — enter, discuss, emphasize, request, order — semuanya adalah transitive verbs dalam bahasa Inggris. Mereka langsung menerima objek tanpa perlu preposisi tambahan. Bedakan dengan bentuk noun-nya yang justru membutuhkan preposisi (mis: make a request for, place an order for, put emphasis on).
