Simple Present Tense, Part II

Dalam Materi sebelumnya (Sipmle Present Tense, Part I (is, am,are) telah dibahas mengenai Simple Present Tense dalam kalimat Nominal. Untuk bahasan kali ini kita akan membahas Simple Present Tense dalam kalimat verbal. Dalam hal ini kita akan menggunakan kata kerja bentuk pertama.


Berikut Formula kalimatnya:

Kalimat positif     =  Subject (I, you, we, they) + VI + O
Kalimat negatif    =  S + DO Not + V1 + O
Kalimat Introgatif:
   Yes/No Question
            DO + S + V1 + O + ?
   WH Question
          WH Question + DO + S + VI + O + ?

Contoh:

Apabila Subject kalimat tersebut orang ketiga tunggal (she, he, it) berikut ini formulanya:

S + VI + es/s + O 
S + Does not + VI + O
Does + S + Vi + ?

Dari contoh di atas, jelas bahwa penambahan s/es hanya dalam kalimat positif saja, tidak pada kalimat negatif dan kalimat tanya. Apa bila kalimat introgatif tersebut menggunakan WH Questions atau pertannyaan tersebut adalah information question, maka kata kerja pada jawabannya harus menggunakan s/es. Perhatikan contoh di bawah ini:

What time does your mother take a bath? She takes a bath at 5.
Where does your father usually go in the morning? He usually goes to his office.
How does Toni go to school? He goes to school by car.


ketentuan penambahan s/es:

Apa bila kata kerja tersebut berakhiran "sh, ch, O,ss  dan X", maka kata kerja tersebut ditambah "es"
contoh:

wash           washes
brush          brushes
watch          watches
catch           catches
go                goes
do                does
box              boxes
kiss              kisses
miss             misses

Apabila kata kerja tersebut berakhiran "y" dan huruf sebelum huruf "y" terebut adalah huruf konsonan, maka "y" diganti degang "ies"

contoh:
study           studies
cry               cries
 dry             dries
fly               flies

Bila kata kerja tersebut berakhira "y" dan sebelum huruf "y" tersebut adalah huruf vokal, maka tinggal menambahkan "s" saja.
