1. PRESENT CONTINOUS TENSE

This sentence is used to denote the events taking place at this time.
The difference with the Simple Present is an event that occurs in this sentence is an ongoing event at the moment and has not been completed (in the works / place).
While the Simple Present is a phrase used to express the events that happened today without talking about the time of the incident and the sustainability of the incident.

• Coal is waiting his friend in a café. (Bara was waiting for his friend in a cafe)
• I am Reading a nice article in klikbelajar.com right now. (I was reading a great article on klikbelajar.com now)
• It is raining outside, so I can not go without an umbrella. (Now it was raining, so I can not get out now)

• I’m hungry. I’m going to eat. (I’m hungry. I’ll eat)

2. PRESENT TENSE
Present tense is a form of sentence patterns are used to express an activity in the present. Simple present tense is also used to express an activity that occurs repeatedly, or a habit, and also activities in the schedule set by time or event.

so simple present tense is a sentence that occurs at the present time.

There are two patterns used in forming sentences in simple present tense.

a. nominal sentence

Nominal sentence is the sentence that the subject was not followed by the verb. which is not a verb is (noun / adj / adverb / preposition). if the subject of the sentence in addition to meeting with the verb we should use the “tobe” As for the “tobe” that is used in the present tense (is, am, are).

“Tobe” is, am, are used by the subject as follows:

is = is used when the subject is SHE, HE, IT,
am = used when the subject is “I”
are = used when the subject WE and THEY

MAKE A SIMPLE SENTENCE FORMULA Present Tense

S + to be + (noun / adj / adverb / preposition)

EXAMPLE:

* I am a student (I am a student)
In the example sentence above I (subjects) met with the student (noun), so we have to put the “tobe” in front of the subject, “tobe” used for the subject I was “am”

She is beautiful
(She was a beautiful woman)
We use “to be” is because in front of the subject is an adjective (adjective)

We are at home
(We are at home)
Because the subjects met with prospositon / preposition in front of the subject then we use tobe.

b. Verbal sentence

Verbal sentence is the sentence that the subject of the verb
the formula:
V1 + S + ….

3.PAST TENSE
Past Tense is used to express the activity, activity, or a habit that starts and stops at a specific time in the past.

Simple Past Tense is used to express activities, events, or habits That started and finished at a specific time in the past.

Formula / Pattern:

(+) S + O + V2

(-) S + did not + V1 + O

(?) Did + S + V1 + O +?

Example:

(+) I killed a monkey last Monday.

(-) I did not kill a monkey last Monday.

(?) Did I kill a monkey last Monday?

We can add a description of time behind the sentence, such as:

* Yesterday

* Last week

* Last month

* Last Night
* Two days ago

* Three years ago, and others

If we look at the formula, no writing V1 and V2 is not it? Here, V1 stated the first form of the verb (as we usually see, without any additions) as used in the present tense. While V2 is the second form of the verb or the past tense.

The verbs are divided into two, namely regular and irregular verb verb (irregular verbs and irregular verbs). Still remember these two verbs? If you forget or have never diajarin (if you are the child’s primary school), I’ll try to explain.

A. Regular verbs (irregular verbs), the verb form of this second form (the form of his past) just add-d or-ed behind the word. But do nambahin origin, you know! There are rules!

ö If the last letter of the word vowel, simply add the-d behind the words.

ö If the last letter the letter mat, add-ed to the adjective. As said call-called.

ö If the last letter of that word is ‘y’ and the penultimate letter is a dead letter, the letter ‘y’ was discarded and replaced by-ied. Such as study-studied words.

2. Irregular verbs (irregular verbs), as its name (whoever named) verb has an irregular shape and different from the regular verb. To overcome this verb instead of none other is memorized, because there is no other way. Here are some examples of irregular verb. If you want more complete, you should see the dictionary that is part of his irregular verb.

* Go-went
* Buy-bought
* Bring, Brought
* Run-run
* Cut-cut
* Sing-sang
* Swim-swam
* Write-wrote
Simple past can express the duration of the event which starts and stops in the past and usually use the word ‘for’. Remember the word ‘for’ here does not mean ‘to’ but means ‘long’. Example:
* I ate chicken nuggets for fifteen minutes.
* They programmed the software for two years.
* My friend played online games all day.
There are some descriptive words to simple past tense, as always, just, never, only, etc.. Penempata these words are among the subject of the verb da. Example:
* I never paid for it.
* He always played badminton in this stadium, but now he never come.
* Aldo shoes are only sold in his shop.

Simple past tense can be pacified. You would never learn about passive sentences in Indonesian language, right? If not, please learn as soon as possible. The formula of the simple past tense passive is the S + was / were + V3 + by + O (for a positive sentence).

Description:

- V3 is the third form of the verb (past participle). V3 enough for regular verbs add-d or-ed behind the words (as I have explained) while for the irregular verbs can be seen in the dictionary.

- If the active sentence (which was described earlier) no object, then the object becomes the passive subject and the subject in the active sentence becomes the object in the passive voice (just behind it, if you learn Indonesian well enough, you will find the cause this).

Examples of the passive voice:
He ate a big snake (active) into the snake was eaten by him (passive).

4.PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
Present Perfect revealed that action has been initiated in the past and still continues. English tenses are also used to tell the story that began in the past and has just finished.

use

A. action has been initiated in the past and still continues today
2. action that has just stopped

the formula:
Positive (+)
Subject + has / have + been + verb-ing
Negative (-)
Subject + has / have + not + been + verb-ing
Question (?)
Has / have + been + verb + subject-ing?

example:
I have been watching TV for two hours (+)
He has been playing football since elementary school (+)
Marina has not been learning english for two years (-)
Have you been reading a book for an hour? (?)

5. FUTURE TENSE
Now we discuss the Future Tense of one form of tenses in English. Future Tense indicates that an activity will take place in the future. Therefore, in the Future Tense use of the word Will or Shall always be found. Here is an example sentence form Future Tense.

- We will go to the concert tomorrow.
We will go to the concert tomorrow.
- David will play guitar in the hall next week.
David will be playing guitar in the building tomorrow.
- Jane will visit next month her grand mother.
Jane will be visiting her grandmother next month.

The use of future tense meaningful an activity that must be done in the future (already planned):
- I am going to study math tonight.
I’m definitely going to learn math tonight.
- You are going to see a doctor.
You would go to the doctor.

6. PRESENT PERFECT CONTINOUS TENSE
I write material that will include:
A. How do I use the Present Perfect Continuous
2. The general formula of the Present Perfect Continuous
3. Present Perfect Continuous combined with how long, for, and since
4. Comparison with the Present Perfect Continuous Present Continuous.

A.
We use the Present Perfect Continuous when we meet the conditions in which an event that has long occurred and have just stopped. Examples of the conditions are like this:
Sinta Mira asked why the streets are wet.
Mira: Shinta, the road is wet do you know why?
Shinta: It has been raining Mira.
It has been raining the Present Perfect Continuous sentence. Shinta explained that previously there has been rain.
Sentences Present Perfect Continuous in touch with current conditions. See the following sentences:
- Jamie is very tired. He has been working very hard. (He is tired now)
- You are bleeding. What have you been doing? (You are bleeding now)
- She has been talking to Ira about the plan. Ira is telling everyone now.
2.
Subject + have / has + been + verb-ing
3.
To explain the events that took place had been and still continues to this day you can combine that with how long, for and since. Example sentence,
- How long have you been watching this movie? (You’re still watching the movie)
- Where is Johnny? I have been looking for him for the last three hours (You’re still looking for Joni)
- Every Sunday he practices swimming at Ragunan. He has been swimming since he was five (He still practices swimming)
The last sentence also shows something that is done repeatedly over time.
4.
Consider the following six sentences,
Present Continuous
- Fahmi, please answer the phone. I am cooking now.
- Lets go to That house, it is raining.
- Ben, we are waiting for you please hurry.
Present Perfect Continuous
- I have been cooking for three hours, now I’m to going to watch tv.
- The road is wet. It has been raining.
- We have been waiting for two hours, now let’s get going.
In the present continuous tense the whole sentence shows the conditions at the present time. While in the present perfect continuous, the sentence is divided into two parts, namely the which is at the present and the past.
Present Perfect Continuous revealed that action has been initiated in the past and still continues. English tenses are also used to tell the story that began in the past and has just finished.
Use
A. action has been initiated in the past and still continues today
2. action that has just stopped
The formula:
Positive (+)
Subject + has / have + been + verb-ing
