FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE/FUTURE PROGRESSIVE TENSE

Ini adalah Modul ke-3 dari KD yang sama yaitu KD 5 tentang Continuous Tenses/Progressive Tenses.
Sebagai pengingat, Continuous Tenses/Progressive Tenses terdiri dari 3 (tiga) macam berdasarkan waktunya,
yaitu:
1. Present Continuous Tense
2. Past Continuous Tense
3. Future Continuous Tense
Dua pekan lalu kita sudah membahas Present Continuous Tense dan Past Continuous Tense, maka pekan
ini kita sampai pada tense terakhir yakni Future Continuous Tense. Seperti halnya Present dan Past Continuous
Tenses, dalam Future Continuous Tense juga digunakan verb bentuk present participle (V-ing). Baca kembali
pembahasan tentang Verb pada modul 5.1. Dari segi pola penyusunan kalimat, yang membedakan Present, Past
dan Future Continuous Tense hanya terletak pada be dan keterangan waktu. Berikut ini Rumus atau pola
penyusunan kalimat Future Continuous Tense/Future Progressive Tense:
▪ RULE (Rumus)
Future Continuous Tense/Future Progressive Tense
+ S + will/shall be + V-ing + O/Adverb
- S + will/shall + not + be + V-ing + O/Adverb
? Will/shall + S + be + V-ing + O/Adverb

PASANGAN WILL & SHALL

BE SUBJECT EXAMPLE
SHE = dia untuk perempuan She will …
HE = dia untuk laki-laki He will …
IT = dia untuk benda/hewan It will …
1 NOUN/NAME (1 benda/nama orang) Nanda will …
WILL I = saya I will …
YOU = kamu You will …
WE = kami/kita We will …
THEY = mereka They will …
2/MORE NOUNS/NAMES (2 atau lebih benda/nama orang) Cat and dog will …
I = saya I shall …
SHALL
WE = kami/kita We shall …

Adverb of time (keterangan waktu) yang biasa digunakan:

- Tonight (malam ini)
- This noon/afternoon (siang/sore ini)
- Tomorrow (besok)
- Next … (yang akan datang) e.g. next week, next two months, next year

▪ FUNCTION (Fungsi):
a. Mengungkapkan bahwa sebuah kegiatan akan sedang dilakukan pada suatu waktu di masa depan
ketika kegiatan lain terjadi. Untuk fungsi yang pertama ini perlu diketahui juga rumus Simple Present
Tense karena nanti kalimatnya akan digabung:
Simple Present Tense
+ S + V1 (s/es) + O/Adverb
- S + do/does + not + V1 + O/Adverb
? Do/Does + S + V1 + O/Adverb

Catatan:
Akhiran s/es ditambahkan pada verb jika subjeknya She, He, It dan 1 name/noun tapi hanya dalam
kalimat Positif. Berikut ini tabel rincian penambahan Akhiran s/es pada verb:

Akhiran (Suffix) Penjelasan Contoh

Ditambahkan pada semua Verb pada Live → Lives
s
umumnya Play → Plays
Ditambahkan hanya pada verb yang
berakhiran:
S Pass → Passes
Sh Wash → Washes
es Ch Teach → Teaches
X Box → Boxes
Z Buzz → Buzzes
O yang didahului huruf konsonan Go → Goes

Untuk Verb yang berakhiran huruf “y” dan Fly → Flies

didahului oleh huruf konsonan, maka Ketika Study → Studies
Pengecualian akan ditambahkan akhiran -es, ganti “y”
dengan “i” dahulu, setelah itu baru
tambahkan -es
Contoh dalam kalimat:

She learns English once a week.

(Ada penambahan akhiran -s di akhir verb “learn”. Ini berlaku jika subjeknya She, He, It, 1
name/noun saja)

I learn English once a week.

(Jika subjeknya I, You, We, They, 2 names/nouns tidak ada penambahan s/es di akhir Verb.

FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE

e.g.
Kegiatan Pertama → I will begin to study at seven tomorrow.
(Saya akan mulai belajar pada pukul 7 besok.)
Kegiatan Kedua → He will come at eight.
(Dia akan datang pada pukul 8)

Maka jika kedua kegiatan tersebut digabung menggunakan kata sambung “when” dalam kalimat
Future Continuous Tense akan menjadi seperti berikut:

→ I will be studying when he comes tomorrow.

(Saya akan sedang belajar ketika dia datang besok.)
Catatan:
Tense yang digunakan pada kalimat pertama “I will be studying” ialah Future Continuous Tense,
sementara pada kalimat kedua “he comes” adalah Simple Present Tense.

 Berikut ini contoh lengkap dalam bentuk Positive, Negative dan Interrogative:
+ I will be studying when he comes tomorrow.
- I will not be studying when he comes tomorrow.
? Will I be studying when he comes tomorrow?

b. Memiliki makna yang sama dengan Simple Future Tense (menunjukkan kegiatan akan dilakukan di
masa yang akan datang) jika keterangan waktu yang digunakan ialah waktu yang tak terbatas seperti
soon (segera). Berikut ini rumus Simple Future Tense:

Simple Future Tense

+ S + will/shall + V1 + O/Adverb
- S + will/shall + not + V1 + O/Adverb
? Will/shall + S + V1 + O/Adverb

e.g.
Future Continuous → She will be coming soon.
Maknanya sama dengan:
Simple Future → She will come soon.

+ She will be coming soon.

- She will not be coming soon.
? Will she be coming soon?

Sama halnya dengan materi sebelumnya, pada materi ini juga kalian harus bisa bertanya dan
menjawab pertanyaan sesuai konteks yang diberikan serta menggunakan unsur kebahasaan yang
benar. Untuk bertanya, kalian bisa menggunakan:
▪ kata tanya “what” (apa) dengan jawaban berupa informasi sesuai konteks
▪ auxiliary “will/shall be” (apakah), jawaban berupa “ya” atau “tidak” sesuai konteks
Baik menggunakan “what” ataupun “will/shall be”, kalian harus sesuaikan dengan subjectnya. Simak
ilustrasi contoh berikut.
Look at the pictures below. (Perhatikan gambar-gambar di bawah ini.)

Hasan’s Family Activity (Kegiatan Keluarga Hasan)

It is 12.10 p.m. (at this time tomorrow) SDN Nusantara Students (Kegiatan Siswa SD)
