INTRODUCTION

Phrases/Words to Introduce
Examples

In English, there are several phrases or words
that we can use to start the examples that we
will give

In Indonesian it means ‘contohnya....' . After
the phrase example, we should provide some
appropriate examples. If 'for example' is at the
beginning of the sentence, put a comma (,)
after it. If we use 'for example' in the middle of
a sentence, put a comma (,) before and after it.

FOR EXAMPLE

1

Example:
•At first, Henry Ford was not very satisfied with his
automobile innovation. For example, the car did
not look impressive and still very expensive

•English was also spoken by the UK ex-occupied
countries, for example, the United States, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand.

Notes:
1. frase ‘For example’ digunakan di awal kalimat,

harus

dengan

kalimat

lebih

lengkap, tidak hanya berupa daftar beberapa
items saja.

tersebut diikuti daftar beberapa items sebagai

bukan

berupa

kalimat

lengkap.

Phrases/Words to Introduce
Examples
In English, there are several phrases or
words that we can use to start the
examples that we will give

SUCH AS

2

Example:
•I prefer to wear casual clothes, such as jeans and
T-shirts.

•Some countries, such as Brazil and Canada, are
big.

 The phrase 'such as' is only used in the

middle of a sentence. Put a comma
before 'such as' and don't need to put a
comma after it.

 The phrase such as can be used in the

middle

of

a

sentence

without

any commas. Take a look at this
Example:
•Car companies such as Toyota and
Ford manufacture their automobiles
in many different countries around
the world.

(Perusahaan mobil seperti Toyota dan
Ford

memproduksi

mobil

mereka

di

berbagai negara di seluruh dunia.)
You may be wondering why there are no
commas.

The answer is simple: the words

after such as are necessary and essential to
the meaning of the sentence. If you take out
those words, the meaning will change.

Let's

take out such as:
•Car

companies

manufacture

their

automobiles in many different countries
around the world.

(Perusahaan

mobil

memproduksi

mobil

mereka

diberbagai

negara

diseluruh

dunia).
