Tenses is a change in shape (predicate) of verb in a sentence which is related to time (at the time when the case happen)
Trick :
- If we learn Tenses, we will discuss Verb Forms and Time Signals
- We have three basic time information, namely : Past, Present and Future
- And we have four maps form tenses are : Simple, Continuous, Perfect and Perfect Continuous
Example :
1. The students ……….basketball in the yard now.
A. play D. are playing
B. will play E. played
C. have played
Trick: see the time signal of that sentencethere is now *(sekarang), so we use Present Continuous Tenses
2. By the end of this month, my sister…………from university.
A. will graduate D. has graduated
B. will have graduated E. graduated
C. was graduating
Trick: see the time signal of that sentencethere is by the end of this month *(berarti nanti menjelang akhir bulan ini) so we use future perfect
3. Marry …………….in Munchen for five years.
A. is living D. was living
B. will be living E. has been living
C. lives
Trick: see the time signal of that sentencethere is for five years *(berarti selama lima tahun) so we use present perfect continuous
4. My uncle …………..in Jakata for ten years before he moved to Samarinda.
A. has been living D. lived
B. will have lived E. is living
C. had been living
Trick: see the time signal of the sentencethere are two time signals, for ten years before he moved *(berarti selama 10 tahun sebelum ia telah pindah), so we use past perfect continuous
5. Rifa……….the flowers when I came to his house yesterday.
A. is watering D. was watering
B. watered E. will have watered
C. has watered
Trick: see the time signal of that sentencethere is when I came yesterday *(berarti ketika saya datang kemarin) so we use past continuous
