Kalimat Bahasa Inggris Sehari-hari: 150+ Kalimat Sederhana untuk Rumah, Kampus, Kantor dan Jalan
Kalimat bahasa Inggris sehari-hari adalah kalimat pendek siap pakai yang kamu ucapkan berulang kali: I’m running late, Can you pass me the salt?, Let me call you back. Menghafalnya sebagai kalimat utuh, bukan kata per kata, adalah cara tercepat untuk bicara bahasa Inggris sederhana tanpa menerjemahkan di kepala. Di bawah ini ada lebih dari 150 kalimat yang dikelompokkan per situasi, dengan catatan kapan dipakai dan daftar kesalahan yang paling sering dibuat orang Indonesia.
Cara memakai daftar ini: pilih satu bagian per hari, ucapkan setiap kalimat dengan suara keras, lalu ganti satu kata di setiap kalimat (I’m running late → She’s running late, We’re running late). Perubahan kecil itulah yang mengubah kalimat hafalan menjadi kalimat yang benar-benar bisa kamu pakai.
Di rumah: pagi hari
- Good morning! Did you sleep well?
- I overslept. My alarm didn’t go off. (Aku kesiangan. Alarmku nggak bunyi.)
- Can you turn off the fan? It’s cold.
- I’m going to take a quick shower.
- Is there any hot water?
- What’s for breakfast?
- I’ll just have coffee and toast today.
- Hurry up, we’re going to be late.
- Have you seen my keys?
- Don’t forget your lunch box.
- I’ll be back by seven.
- Lock the door when you leave.
Di rumah: sore dan malam
- How was your day?
- I’m exhausted. It was a long day. (Capek banget.)

Perhatikan turn off the lights. Orang Indonesia sering bilang close the lamp atau open the lamp karena kita «buka/tutup» atau «matikan/nyalakan» lampu. Dalam bahasa Inggris lampu, kipas, TV dan AC selalu turn on / turn off (atau switch on / switch off). Open dan close hanya untuk pintu, jendela, botol, aplikasi.

Perasaan dan reaksi
- I’m so happy for you!
- That’s great news!
- I’m really sorry to hear that.
- Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.
- I’m a bit nervous about tomorrow.
- I’m bored. Let’s do something.
- That’s so annoying.
- I can’t believe it!
- Are you serious?
- No way!
- That makes sense.
- I see what you mean.
- Fair enough.
- I’m not sure about that.
Di semua kalimat ini ada am / is / are: I’m happy, I’m nervous, I’m bored. Bahasa Indonesia tidak butuh kata kerja di «Aku senang», jadi I very happy atau She so tired sangat umum. Selalu pasang be: I’m very happy, She’s so tired.

- Let’s catch a movie.
- How about Saturday evening?

- Let’s meet at Blok M station at six.
- I’m on my way. (OTW.)
- I’ll be there in ten minutes.

Kesalahan umum orang Indonesia dalam kalimat sehari-hari
Kebanyakan kesalahan ini muncul karena kita menerjemahkan langsung dari bahasa Indonesia. Lawan bicara biasanya tetap mengerti, tapi kalimatnya terdengar janggal.
| Sering diucapkan | Yang natural | Catatan |
|---|---|---|
| Yesterday I go to the mall. | Yesterday I went to the mall. | Bahasa Inggris menandai waktu di kata kerja. |
| I already eat. | I’ve already eaten. / I ate already. | «Sudah» tidak otomatis = already. Sering cukup I’ve eaten. |
| I very tired. | I’m very tired. | Jangan lupa am / is / are. |
| Open the lamp / close the AC. | Turn on the light / turn off the AC. | Alat listrik: turn on / off. |
| How to say…? | How do you say… in English? | How to… bukan pertanyaan lengkap. |
| I am agree. | I agree. | Agree adalah kata kerja, tanpa am. |
| My sister, he is a nurse. | My sister is a nurse. | «Dia» = he (laki-laki) atau she (perempuan). |
| I have two book. | I have two books. | Jamak pakai -s. |
| Today morning I woke up late. | This morning I woke up late. | Juga this evening, last night. |
| Wait a minute, I’m coming. (= sebentar ya, aku kembali) | I’ll be right back. | I’m coming = aku sedang menuju ke kamu. |
Cara menjadikan kalimat ini milikmu
- Ucapkan, jangan dibaca. Baca satu kalimat sekali, alihkan pandangan, lalu ucapkan.
- Ganti satu kata. Can I borrow your notes? → Can I borrow your charger? → Can I borrow your motorbike?
- Pakai dalam konteks. Bayangkan harimu dan ceritakan: I overslept, I’m running late, I’ll grab a bite on the way.
- Minta dikoreksi. Kalimat yang kamu susun sendiri pasti punya kesalahan kecil.
Langkah keempat paling mudah lewat percakapan di bawah artikel ini: kamu ngobrol bebas dengan Nomi di Nomto tentang apa saja, lewat suara atau teks, dan setiap kalimatmu kembali dalam versi yang sudah dikoreksi dan lebih natural, sementara kata baru tersimpan untuk diulang. Kalau kalimat sederhana sudah terasa mudah, lanjut ke kosakata bahasa Inggris sehari-hari dan ungkapan bahasa Inggris sehari-hari.
Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Berapa banyak kalimat yang dibutuhkan untuk bicara bahasa Inggris dasar?
Tidak ada angka ajaib. Beberapa ratus kalimat umum yang dilatih sampai keluar otomatis sudah cukup untuk sebagian besar situasi sehari-hari. Kualitas lebih penting dari jumlah: 100 kalimat yang bisa kamu ucapkan tanpa berpikir lebih berharga daripada 1.000 kalimat yang hanya pernah kamu baca.
Lebih baik menghafal kata atau kalimat?
Kalimat, atau minimal frasa. Kalimat memberimu tata bahasa, urutan kata dan preposisi yang benar sekaligus, jadi kamu tidak perlu menyusunnya di tengah obrolan.
Harus belajar kalimat British atau American?
Untuk obrolan sehari-hari bedanya kecil. Pilih bentuk yang paling sering kamu dengar dan konsisten. Can I get the bill? dan Can I get the check? sama-sama dimengerti. Detailnya ada di perbedaan American dan British English.
Bagaimana cara berhenti menerjemahkan dari bahasa Indonesia?
Hafalkan kalimat sebagai blok yang terikat pada situasi (misalnya di meja makan, di telepon). Saat situasinya muncul, blok bahasa Inggrisnya keluar lebih dulu, bukan kalimat bahasa Indonesia.
