1.b Simple Present tense


Dalam Simple Present tense, kita membahas tentang dua hal: habitual (kebiasaan), dan factual (fakta).

a. Habitual
kita membahas tentang suatu kegiatan yang dilakukan secara rutin untuk suatu periode tertentu.
contoh:
- I go to school everyday.
- They come here once a week.

Untuk subjek He, She It, jangan lupa anda menambahkan -s atau -es pada kata kerjanya
contoh:
- He goes to school everyday.
- Mrs. Sofniza arrives at home from the office at 6 p.m..

Untuk Kalimat negatif, tambahkan do not atau does not, diikuti oleh kata kerja bentuk pertama, sedangkan untuk kalimat

tanya, pindahkan do atau does ke depan kalimat.
Contoh:
(+) They study English everyday.
(-) They don't study English everyday.
(?) Do they study English everyday.
     - yes, tehy do.
     - no, they don't.

Contoh:
(+) Dila plays Table Tennis everyday.
(-) Dila doesn't play Table Tennis everyday.
(?) Does Dila play Table Tennis everyday.
     - yes, she does.
     - no, she doesn't.

b. Factual
Kita membicarakan tentang kebenaran umum.
Contoh:
(+) The sun rises in the East.
(-) The sun doesn't rise in the West.
(?) Does the sun rise in the East?
     - Yes, it does.

yang perlu diingat, keterangan waktu yang sering dipakai adalah: everyday, everytime, everyweek.
kita juga bisa menambahkan adverbs of frequency: always (selalu), usually (biasanya), often (sering), sometimes (kadang-

kadang), seldom (jarang), never (tidak pernah).

1.c Simple Future tense
