Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
In written communication, the sentences used by students tend to be less varied. The lack of variability appears in the types of sentences used in the essay, such as: the content of the sentence, the number of clauses, the predicate formers, and the nature of actor-action relationship. Based on this situation, the main objective of this study was to describe the types of sentences contained in the essay of grade VI students in the province of Bali. The data were collected through document recording method of 120 articles, each consisting of 3 paragraphs. The data collected were analyzed through Putrayasa analysis model. The results showed that there were 1035 sentences. All the sentences employed declarative sentences. The declarative sentences consist of 510 simple sentences, 520 compound sentences, and 5 sentences not including both; 876 included verbal sentences, 159 nominal sentences; 798 were classified as active and 237 passive sentences. Based on the results obtained, it is suggested to the students to pay attention always to the type of sentence in writing essay for the effectiveness of the ideas conveyed.
