09 Simple present tense

Simple persent tense digunakan untuk membuat kalimat tentang waktu sekarang. Bentuk waktu ini digunakan untuk kondisi-kondisi berikut.

- Fakta permanen: Kalimat-kalimat yang menyatakan fakta yang selalu berlaku/benar.

Contoh: It is cold in winter. – The sun shines – Fish lives in water.

- Fakta sekarang: Kalimat-kalimat yang menyatakan fakta yang benar untuk saat sekarang.

Conth: I work at home. – She plays piano.

“I work at home” tidak berarti saya sedang bekerja sekarang, tetapi berarti bahwa dalam kondisi sekarang saya bekerja di rumah.

- Tindakan kebiasaan: I get up at 5.00 – They come here every day.

Tindakan-tindakan ini diulangi secara teratur, sehingga dianggap sebagai sebuah realita sekarang dan dinyatakan dalam Simple Present tense.

Berikut contoh kata kerja “give” dalam Simple Present:

Tunggal

I give

You give

He gives

She gives

It gives

Jamak

We give

You give

They give

Aturan penulisan kata kerja untuk Simple Present tense

Jika kita melihat diatas, anda akan melihat bahwa penulisan kata kerja tidak berubah, kecuali untuk orang ketiga tunggal (He, She, It), yakni kata kerja ditambahkan “s”. Sebagai cntoh “I eat – He eats“.

Terkadang aturan penulisan lain untuk kata kerja juga berlaku bagi He, She dan It, yakni tidak ditambahkan “s” tetapi “es“. Berikut aturannya:

Akhiran kata kerja

Kata kerja berakhiran -o ditambah -es

Kata kerja berakhiran -s ditambah -es

Kata kerja berakhiran -x ditambah -es

Kata kerja berakhiran -ch ditambah -es

Kata kerja berakhiran -sh ditambah -es

—–

Kata kerja yang berakhiran huruf konsonan dan -y sering merubah akhiran -y menjadi -ies:

Kata kerja seperti “buy” tidak memiliki konsonan sebelum “y”, sehingga cukup ditambahkan -s

seperti biasa.

Contoh

do – does, go – goes

-

pass – passes, kiss – kisses

-

fix – fixes, mix – mixes

match – matches, catch – catches

-

push – pushes, rush – rushes

-

try – tries, cry – cries

-

buy – buys, pay – pays.
