Meaning
Penggunaan "It’s worth" dapat membantu kita menilai apakah suatu tindakan atau pilihan layak dilakukan berdasarkan hasil atau keuntungan yang diperoleh. Contohnya, jika seseorang mengatakan "It’s worth visiting the museum," artinya mengunjungi museum tersebut akan memberikan pengalaman atau pengetahuan yang berharga.
Penting untuk diingat bahwa "It’s worth" menekankan pada nilai atau manfaat subjektif yang dirasakan oleh seseorang. Oleh karena itu, apa yang dianggap berharga oleh satu orang mungkin berbeda bagi orang lain. Dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, memahami konsep ini dapat membantu kita dalam mengekspresikan pendapat atau memberikan saran kepada orang lain.

Writer's Note
"Worth" usually follows the verb "to be" and is often used with "it". To leave the ground and begin flight. 2. To take off in popularity, success, or momentum. (figurative) It can then be followed by an "-ing" clause. You can see in the examples above, that this formula applies. But here's another way to use it! "Worth" is only used after verbs such as "be, seem, look" (as a predicative adjective). It means 'having a particular value', especially in money.
- It seems like it would be worth your time to get an accountant.
- Do you know how much your watch is worth?
- These costly investments aren't worth the pursuit.
- For what it's worth, I still love you.
- A picture is worth a thousand words.
- Wouldn't it be worth the wait if you purchased a new car after saving for one?
The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or experiencing and usually consists of a verb or a verb phrase and possibly a direct object, subject complement, and/or other modifiers.
So what things are worth your time? Who, in your life, makes you feel self-worth? What hobbies are worth your time? Is learning English worth it?
