Apa yang akan kamu pelajari?
Pada bab ini, kamu akan mampu memahami dan menggunakan
tense yang benar (simple present, present continuous, simple past, past
continuous, future, dan present perfect) berdasarkan konteks.
tense?
Tense pada dasarnya perubahan bentuk suatu kata kerja (verb)
dalam sebuah kalimat berdasarkan konteks waktu: saat ini (present),
lampau (past), atau masa depan (future). Contohnya, kata kerja eat
digunakan saat kita ingin makan saat ini. Ketika konteks berubah
menjadi lampau (past), kata kerja eat berubah menjadi ate. Berikut
ini penjelasan lebih detailnya.
WhatA.
SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
‘Simple present tense adalah bentuk dasar tense atau biasa disebut
dengan Verb 1. Digunakan untuk menunjukkan perilaku kebiasaan
(habitual actions), kebenaran umum (general truth), atau pernyataan
tentang situasi saat ini (present). Berikut ini contohnya.
a. | always wake up at 5 in the morning. Habitual action
b. They often go jogging in the park every
Sunday.
Nana usually goes to school on foot.
The water boils at 1000 C. General truth
The sun sets in the west.
The store opens 24 hours.
Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia.
She feels very happy today. Present situation
ze se sis
i. My father works in Singapore.
Dari contoh di atas, diketahui bentuk simple present tense, yaitu
Subject + Verb 1(s/es). Untuk kata ganti orang ketiga tunggal (he,
she, it), kata kerja ditambahkan -s atau -es seperti pada contoh c,d,
e, f, h, dan i, Jika tidak ada kata kerja dalam kalimat, untuk menjadi
bentuk present (is, am, or are) digunakan seperti contoh g.
Adverh of Frequency
Dalam simple present tense, frekuensi kata kerja (adverb of
frequency) digunakan untuk menyatakan kebiasaan, seperti hobi
atau kegemaran. Dibawah ini, frekuensikata kerja diurutberdasarkan
mulai dari yang paling sering (most frequent) sampai yang paling
jarang (the least).
always 100%
often
usually/sometimes
seldom
never 0%b. Adverb of Time
Adverb of time dapat digunakan sebagai tanda untuk
membedakan sebuah tense dengan tense lainnya. Contoh:
1. Today
2. Every day /thursday / week / month / year / weekend /afternoon/
night
c. Forming The Negatives and Interrogatives
Untuk membentuk kalimat negatif, gunakan do not dan does
not. Contoh:
*do not dapat ditulis menjadi dontt.
Contoh: | don't eat the cake.
**does not dapat ditulis dengan doesn't.Contoh: She doesn’t know how to solve this mathematics problem.
Dalam bentuk pertanyaan yang jawabannya yes atau no
(interrogatives), do dan does digunakan sebagai kata tanya.
Contoh:
PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
Kita menggunakan present continuous tense untuk menunjukkan
kegiatan yang masih berlangsung (still in progress at the moment).
Artinya, kegiatan tersebut dimulai sejak lalu, namun belum selesai
dilakukan kata kerja berubah menjadi Verb + ing. Setelah itu, to be
dalam present form juga digunakan. Contoh:
lam writing a letter for my father now.
b. She is watching a comedy show at the television right now.
c. My father is watering the flowers at the moment.
d. Weare waiting for you.e. The children are playing at the backyard at the present.
Kata yang dicetak miring (now, right now, at the moment, dan at
the present) adalah kata keterangan waktu yang digunakan dalam
present continuous tense. Kata kerja yang digunakan adalah kata
kerja aktif (sebut saja; eating, watching, playing, dll) dan memiliki
durasi waktu tertentu. Beberapa kata kerja seperti like tidak dapat
digunakan karena kata tersebut tidak mempunyai durasi waktu
yang tepat.
WRONG: | amiking this cake now.
To Be
Dalam present continuous tense, to be selalu digunakan. Karena
itu, kita harus mengerti penggunaannya secara detail. Berikut adalah
contohnya.
She singing her favorite song over and again.
He reading an article about technology.
My mother jg _bakinga chocolate cake for my birthday.
Mr. Johnson sleeping now, do not disturb him.
The cat playing with her kittens.
Surabaya being the second largest city in Indonesia.
| am studying hard for tomorrow's examination.
You writing a secret not, aren't you?
We laughing hearing his jokes. It is very funny.
They are shopping groceries for the party.
Rina and her cleaning their house now.
mother
Forming The Negatives and Interrogatives
Untuk membuat sebuah kalimat negatif dari present continuous
tense, kita perlu menambahkan not antara to be dan kata kerja,
sedangkan dalam membuat sebuah interrogative sentence dan to be
ditempatkan di awal kalimat. Pelajari contohnya.1 am cooking fried]! am not cooking] Am | cooking fried
rice, fried rice. rice?
She is showing her| She is not showing | Is she showing her
new bag to her|her new bag to her|new bag to her
friends. friends. friends?
The actor is yelling|The actor is not |Istheactoryelling at
atthe paparazzi. [yelling at_the | the paparazzi?
paparazzi.
We are having lunch | We are not having | Are we having lunch
together. lunch together. together?
They are talking | They are not talking | Are they _ talking
about thenews. [about thenews. _ | about the news?
*Is not dapat ditulis dengan isn’t.
Contoh: She isn’t cooking now; she is still in the bathroom.
*are not dapat ditulis dengan aren't.
Contoh: The students aren't doing the exercise at the moment.
SIMPLE PAST TENSE
Simple past tense digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan atau
aktivitas yang sudah lampau. Jika seseorang mengatakan “I was a
student” maka berarti saat dia mengatakan hal tersebut, dia sudah
bukan lagi seorang pelajar. Dalam membuat kalimat simple past
tense, bentuk kata kerja lampau atau biasa dikenal dengan Verb 2.
Sebelum membahas lebih lanjut tentang pola kalimat, mari pelajari
terlebih dahulu tentang kata kerja lampau (past tense verbs).
Regular Verb
Bentuk past tense dari kata kerja disebut regular verb. Regular
verb terbentuk dengan menambahkan -d atau -ed pada kata dasar
(base form of the verb). Contoh:
bake +-d —baked
care +-d = caredlove +-d loved
look +-ed — looked
Irregular Verb
Tidak seperti regular verb, bentuk past tense dari irregular
verb tidak mempunyai pola. Irregular verb berubah secara regular
tergantung kata dasar. Perhatikan contoh berikut!
be — was, were
eat > ate
drink — drank
find — found
have/has > had
sing — sang
tell > told
Untuk contoh lebih banyak dari irregular verb, lihat appendix 2.
Forming a Simple Past Tense Sentence
Sudah dijelaskan bahwa kata kerja past tense digunakan dalam
simple past. Jadi, pola simplepastadalah Subject + Verb 2. Perhatikan
contoh berikut!
1. | walked to school this Contoh a, b, c, dan d adalah contoh
morning. kalimat positif dari simple past tense.
2. Uncle Bob had a cat Menggunakan pola Subject +
two years ago. Verb 2.
3. Shewas illyesterday. Jika tidak ada kata kerja seperti
4. They were policeman. contohc dan d, be dalam bentuk past
tense (was, were) digunakan sebagai
kata hubung.d. Adverb of Time for Simple Past Tense
Kata keterangan waktu (adverb of time) digunakan sebagai
penanda untuk mengetahui tense suatu kalimat. Jika past tense
digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan yang sudah lampau
maka keterangan waktu juga selalu lampau. Berikut contoh kata
keterangan waktu dalam kalimat simple past tense.PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE
Past continuous tense digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan
yang masih berlangsung dalam waktu tertentu pada masa lampau.
Sama seperti present continuous tense, past continuous tense juga
menggunakan bentuk -ing dalam kata kerja (V+ing). Perbedaannya
pada past continuous tense, digunakan bentuk lampau dari to be
(was dan were). Berikut contoh kalimatnya.
‘Subject + was/were + V+ing
Forming The Negatives and Interrogatives
Untuk membuat kalimat negative, kita perlu menambahkan
not setelah to be. Pelajari tabel di bawah.Subject + was/were + not + V+ing
Dalam membuat yes-no question dari past continuous tense, kita
sederhananya hanya perlu menambahkan to be sebagai kata tanya
di awal kalimat. Pelajari tabel berikut.
Was/Were + Subject +V+ing+....?
Adverb of Time for Past Continuous Tense
Seperti yang sudah dijelaskan sebelumnya, kita menggunakan
kalimat past continuous tense untuk menunjukkan kegiatan yang
masih berlangsung dalam waktu tertentu pada masa lalu. Jadi, kita
menggunakan keterangan waktu lampau, seperti yesterday danlast night, last week. Namun, penting harus ada waktu yang pasti.
Contoh:
1. My little brother was sleeping at 8 pm last night.
2. At the same time yesterday, | was lying in my bedroom.
3. The students were listening to their teacher at the listening class
last week.
4. Iwas taking a shower when you called me two days ago.*
5. We were enjoying our dinner when suddenly the accident
happened.*
6. He was reading the book from the library when | was listening
to the music.*
*sebuah klausa juga dapat menjadi adverb of time, bentuknya bisa
berupa simple past tense atau past continuous tense.
FUTURE TENSE
Setelah membahas present dan past time, sekarang kita akan
membahas tentang masa depan (future). Future tense diguanakan
untuk menunjukkan rencana atau kegiatan yang belum terjadi saat
ini. Ada dua cara menyatakannya, dengan menggunakan modal
(will) atau be going to. Kata kerja yang digunakan adalah kata dasar,
atau disebut Verb1. Berikut penjelasan lebih detailnya. Future Tense

2. Negative Sentence

PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
Present perfect tense membantu kita menyatakan sesuatu yang
sudah selesai dikerjakan. Tense ini tidak membutuhkan keterangan
waktu. Dalam tense jenis ini kita menggunakan past participle verb
atau verb yang sudah kita kenal dengan verb 3.
Affirmative Sentence
Subject + have/has + verb 3 + objectNegative Sentence
Subject + have/has + not + verb3 + object
Interrogative Sentence
Have/has + subject + verb3 + object ?APPENDIX 1
