Discussion:

Pernyataan di atas merupakan bentuk prohibition (larangan) dengan adanya verba forbid (melarang)—maka apabila diungkapkan dalam bentuk direct speech atau kalimat langsung dapat dinyatakan dengan memerhatikan tata bahasa yang akan digunakan.

  • swim in the river artinya berenanglah di sungai bukan kalimat negatif jadi dianggap bukan prohibition
  • no swim in the river dianggap kurang tepat. Apabila tidak dilengkapi subyek (pronoun) maka swim terjadi sufiksasi menjadi swimming (no swimming in the river)
  • don't swim in the river artinya jangan berenang di sungai menyatakan bentuk larangan (prohibition) karena terdiri atas kalimat negatif
  • doesn't swim in the river dianggap kurang tepat
