SIDOMBA

When I went travelling last month. I went to sidomba waterfall with my

friends. I arrived at sidomba at 11 am, I have seen the playground there, and we
have taken the photographs. At 1 until 2 pm I saw a waterfall, then for the first
thing I did, I took my photos and I played water with my friends.
In the Sidomba I have eaten chicken noodle and the taste was very delicious.
It was my experience at sidomba with my friends. And then we came back home at
3 pm.

From the text above, we can see that the text uses simple past tense and present
perfect tense. Can you show which sentences use simple past tense or present perfect
tense? The italic sentence is simple past tense. The writer started and finished taking his/
her photos. The underlined sentence uses present perfect tense. The writer wants to
indicate that an action happened very recently in the past.

Look at the picture, read the statements!

There’s a good movie
Sorry, I have seen it. I on XXI. Would you
saw it last night care to come see the
movie tonight?

From the dialogue above, we can see that sentence “Sorry, I have seen it “ uses
present perfect tense (Have +verb 3). It indicates that an action happened very recently
in the past. The sentence “ I saw it last night“ uses simple past tense (verb 2), it started
and finished seeing the movie.

PAST EVENTS

Simple Past Tense

The regular ending for the past simple, for all person, is –ed.
Only the verb to be has two separate forms for the past: was for the
singular, were for the plural.
There are many verb ending in –t such as learnt, burnt, spelt, spilt,
dwelt, etc.
The word ago requires the use of past tense, event if the time
indicated comes almost up to the present (they left one minute ago).

Present Perfect Tense

There are some indicators of time that mark a past-to-present event.
1. Preposition indicating duration.
During, in, over

Read the text below and analyze simple past form:
I went to North Sumatera last week. It was great holiday. I spent two days
in a wonderful hotel Toba Lake. It took almost 6 hours to reach Parapat from
Medan’s Kuala Namu Aiport and another 30 minutes to samosir Island but it’s
worth the long journey. It’s a pity we only stayed for 1 night at Samosir Island
before proceeding to Berastagi. I took a boat ride and saw the lake and
mountains. It was very tiring but the view of the lake was just gorgeous.

Vocabulary!
- Great (Adj) :hebat - Journey (N) : perjalanan
- Wonderful (Adj) : indah - Lake (N) : danau
- Reach (V) : mencapai - Tiring : membosankan
- Stayed (V) : tinggal - view (N) : pemandangan
- Boat (N) : perahu - gorgeous(Adj) : indah

Present perfect Tense

Pay attention to the following examples!
a) Saya telah tinggal di Jakarta selama dua tahun (Indonesian)
b) I have lived in Jakarta for two years. (English).
According to the sentences above, how long has the speaker lived in Jakarta?
Does he still live Jakarta now? The answer is yes. It means that present
perfect tense is used to tell about a present condition as a result of an event
or condition in the past. Rule :

Examples:
 My mother has lived in Palembang. (+)
My mother has not lived in Palembang.(-)
Has My mother lived in Palembang.(?)
 We have gone to Papua twice.(+)
We have not gone to Papua twice.(-)
Have We gone to Papua twice?(?)
Note : Plural subject(They, We, I, You) uses tobe have. Singular subject (she, he,it)
uses tobe has.
