SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

. Nominal Simple Present Tense

Bagaimana cara membuat kalimat simple present tense? Berikut rumus simple present tense yang bisa kamu
gunakan:
 (+) Subject + To be + Complement
 (-) Subject + To be + Not + Complement
 (?) To be + Subject + Complement

Contoh simple present tense dengan pola kalimat nominal:

(+) I am an international school student (saya adalah seorang mahasiswa)

(-) She is not an international school student (dia bukan seorang mahasiswa)
(?) Is she an international school student? (apakah dia seorang mahasiswa?)

Verbal Simple Present Tense

Rumus (+) (-) (?) dari simple present tense untuk pola verbal adalah:

 (+) Subject + Verb 1 (+ s/es) + Complement

 (-) Subject + Do/Does Not + verb 1 + Complement
 (?) Do/does + subject + verb 1 + Complement ?

Sesuai dengan pembahasan sebelumnya, pada kalimat verbal, kamu tidak perlu menambahkan to
be setelah subject, karena yang “bertugas” menjadi predikat adalah verb.

Enaknya, verb di tenses ini merupakan bentuk yang dasar, dalam artian belum mengalami perubahan.

Positive/affirmative simple present tense

Sama seperti nominal, kalimat verbal pun tentu memiliki bentuk positif seperti yang sudah kita bahas di
awal. Contoh kalimat simple present tense :

 I live in Jakarta (saya tinggal di Jakarta)

 He lives in Jakarta (dia tinggal di Jakarta)

Negative simple present tense

Khusus untuk bagian kalimat negatif dan kalimat tanya, maka gunakan do/does atau do not (don’t)
dan does not (doesn’t). Contoh:

 I don’t live in Bandung (saya tidak tinggal di Bandung)

 She doesn’t live in Bandung (dia tidak tinggal di Bandung)

kenapa doesn’t live? tidak doesn’t lives? karena pada kata doesn’t sudah
termasuk penambahan -es. Jadi di bagian kata kerja tidak perlu ditambahin
lagi.
Simple present questions/interrogative

Pada pola kalimat tanya, dipisah menjadi dua bagian, yaitu:

 Yes/No Question
Do I work? (apakah saya bekerja?)
Does he work? (apakah dia bekerja?)

Sesuai dengan nama jenisnya, yaitu Yes/No question, jadi kamu hanya perlu menjawab pertanyaan di
atas dengan:

Yes, I do (Iya, saya bekerja)

Yes, he does (Iya, dia bekerja)

 WH Question

Apa yang kamu pikirkan saat membaca WH? Exactly! Yaitu kata tanya dalam bahasa Inggris yang
lekat dengan awalan huruf W dan H.

What do I play?
Who do you play?
When does he play?
Where does she play?
Why do we play?
How do they play?
