Abstract

This research aims to describe the pattern of Arabic simple sentences attached by adverb of time and the distribution of the adverb of time in Arabic simple sentences. The research data are in the form of a simple sentence, which contains adverb of time from a paper in the book Al-Arabiyah Baina Yadaik Volume 4a by Al-Fauzan, et al. (2014). The data collection was carried out using the observation method. The analysis of adverb of time in Arabic simple sentence was done by a tree diagram with the guidelines proposed by Chomsky (2002). The results showed that the adverb of time is inherent in verbs and was only found in the original verb and not a derivational verb. In addition, the sentence patterns of Arabic simple sentence attached by adverb of time consist of PS, SP, SPO, and PSO. The researchers also found the distribution of adverbs of time inside the predicate, behind the object, in front of the predicate, and behind the subject.

Summary

Introduction

As a means of communication, language is composed of words, phrases, and sentences. Every sentence that is spoken has an intonation and forming elements such as subject, predicate, object, complement, and adverb. Sentences uttered by humans in everyday communication are not always complete, namely sentences that are composed of the constituent elements. Sometimes a sentence consists of only a subject, such as a word "I" which is the answer to the question "Who made this cake?". There are sentences that are just adverbs, such as the sentence "to school" in response to the question "Where did Reno go?". Sentences are pronounced using intonation, but in written language, the sentence can only be given a punctuation mark to determine the speaker's intention. The two sentences consist of a subject, predicate, and adverb, which are the building blocks of the sentence. The two sentences have been translated into a simple sentence
