CHAPTER X

When I was a child

In this chapter, we will learn to communicate state and events in the past.
(Dalam bab ini, kita akan belajar untuk mengkomunikasikan keadaan dan
peristiwa/kegiatan/kejadian yang dilakukan/terjadi di masa lampau)

Dalam hal ini kita akan membahas/mempelajari tentang Simple Past Tense.

The Simple Past Tense (Bentuk waktu lampau)

Past artinya lampau atau lewat
Simple past tense adalah tense yang digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian/kegiatan/peristiwa yang
terjadi pada masa lampau dan telah berakhir di masa lampau.

Dalam kalimat simple past tense, kata kerja yang digunakan adalah bentuk kata kerja kedua
(VERB 2).

Terdapat 2 jenis kata kerja / verb, yakni Regular Verb dan Irregular Verb.
Untuk Regular Verb, dengan mambahkan -ed / -d dibelakang kata kerja bentuk pertama.
Apabila kata kerja berakhiran dengan huruf –e, maka cukup tambahkan –d.
Sedangkan Irregular Verb (Kata Kerja Beraturan), sebagian besar pada Kata Kerja ke-2 dan ke-
3 mengalami perubahan bentuk.
Perhatikan contoh-contoh berikut :
