Simple Present Tense
>> Digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian yang berlangsung secara terus-menerus (berkesinambungan) atau pernyataan umum.
Rumus :
1. S + V1 + obj >> I, you, we, they
2. S + V1 + es/s + Obj >> she, he, it
Cara penambahan " s/es " pada kata kerja pertama (verb 1) :
1. Penambahan " es "
Apabila kata kerja pertama berakhiran huruf desis (sh, ch, x, o, s) serta jika subjectnya orang ketiga tunggal (he, she, it), maka kata kerjanya ditambah akhiran " es ".
Ex :
- teach >> teaches (mengajar)
- wash >> washes (mencuci)
- mix >> mixes (mengocok)
- go >> goes (pergi)
- kiss >> kisses (mencium)
2. Penambahan " s "
Apabila kata kerja pertama tersebut tidak berakhiran dengan huruf desis dan subjectnya harus orang ketiga tunggal, maka kata kerjanya ditambah akhiran " s ".
Ex :
- make >> makes (membuat)
- sleep >> sleeps (tidur)
- eat >> eats (makan)
Note :
Kata kerja yang berakhiran huruf " Y " dan sebelumnya didahului huruf mati, maka huruf " Y " diganti menjadi " i " dan kemudian ditambah dengan " es ".
Ex :
- study >> studies (belajar)
- cry >> cries (menangis)
- try >> tries (mencoba)
Perhatikan : Play >> plays. Itu karena huruf " Y " didahului oleh huruf hidup.
