1. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

Digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu kepastian/kebenaran/pernyataan yang berlaku secara umum, atau pula suatu kegiatan
yang selalu dilakukan sejak dulu hingga sekarang (kebiasaan)

A. Patterns that contain such verbs (Pola kalimat yang mengandung Kata Kerja)
(+) Subject + (Adverbs of Frequency) + Verb 1 (s/es/ies) + Object + Adverb of Manner + Adverb of Place + Adverb of Time
(s/es hilang, diganti dengan ‘es’ yang ada pada ‘does’)

(-) Subject + Do/Does + Not + (Adv. Of Freq.) + Verb 1 + Object + Adverb of Place + Adverb of Time
(‘not’ nya hilangkan) ‘s/es’ hilang (kembali ke Verb asal)

(?) Do/does + Subject + (Adv. Of Freq.) + Verb 1 + Object + Adverb of Place + Adverb of Time
Do not dalam kal. negatif/ do dalam Interrogative = untuk Subject : I, We, You, They.
Does not dalam kal. negatif/ does dalam Interrogative = untuk Subject He, She and It.

Adverbs of Frequency (tingkat keseringan) terdiri dari :

Always 100%
Usually 90%
Often 80%
Sometimes 60%
Seldom 50%
Rarely 30%
Never 0% (not ever = tidak pernah)

Pengunaan “never”
Subject + Never + Verb 1s/es + Object + Keterangan tempat + Keterangan Waktu
Meskipun pola kalimatnya berbentuk Positif namun pengertiannya adalah “tidak pernah”
Contoh : I never go to the discotheque = I do not ever go to the discotheque

DAFTAR PERUBAHAN KATA KERJA YANG BERLAKU PADA SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
PERUBAHAN TERSEBUT TERJADI KARENA ADANYA SUBJECT TERTENTU [he,she dan it]
Kata Kerja tersebut hanya dipakai dalam bentuk Positive, Kata kerja tersebut akan kembali lagi ke Kata Kerja
Biasa bilamana dalam bentuk Negative dan Interrogative
Subject Verbs
I Go Catch Wash Kiss Fix Try Borrow visit
We Do Watch Crash Miss Mix Study Make play
You Teach Finish Bless Cry Send think
They Reach Fry Bring , etc.
Touch Fly Have

He Goes Catches Washes Kisses Fixes Tries Borrows, visits,

She Does Watches Crashes Misses Mixes Studies Makes, plays,
It Teaches Finishes Blesses Cries Sends, thinks,
Reaches Fries Brings, etc.
Touches flies Has
Catatan :
Kata kerja try, study, cry, fry, fly konsonan “y” nya berubah menjadi “i” karena sebelum “y” terdapat konsonan r, d, l - lalu tambahkan “es”
; sedangkan pada kata play, say, pay, konsonan “y” nya tidak berubah menjadi “i” karena sebelum “y” terdapat huruf vokal a.
