Setelah sukses jualan jamu dengan judul The Present Tense di pasar ini, kali ini juragan dodoll pengen belajar bahasa Inggris lagi. Tidak perlu banyak introduksi apa itu The Simple Past Tense. Rumus atau pola kalimatnya secara umum begini nih:
Subject | Verb + ed or irregular verb*) |
Memulai bahasan tentang judul di atas, The Simple Past Tense gunanya untuk mengekspresikan suatu pernyataan tentang perbuatan (aksi) yang telah selesai di waktu tertentu yang jelas (spesifik) di masa lampau. Terkadang sang pembicara atau penulis mungkin juga tidak menjelaskan secara detil atau nyata tentang kapan kejadiannya terjadi. Artinya, dalam bahasa tulisan/lisan, terkadang waktu tidak diterangkan secara eksplisit.
Di bawah ini ada gambar peraga, untuk pembaca agar mudah memahami.
(1) Gunakan gambar 1 untuk menyatakan kejadian / peristiwa / pekerjaan di masa lampau yaitu sebelum saat ini, saat Anda membaca blog saya ini.
Sesuai dengan gambar, contoh kalimat di bawah ini menyatakan kejadian tunggal di masa lampau.
