contoh kalimat simple past tense

“Yesterday, I met Tina.” adalah contoh kalimat simple past tense. Apa yang bisa kalian simpulkan dari kalimat tersebut? Jika dicermati dengan saksama, kalimat simple past tense menggunakan kata keterangan waktu dan kata kerja bentuk kedua.

Apa itu simple past tense?

Simple past tense biasanya digunakan untuk menunjukkan suatu peristiwa yang terjadi pada suatu waktu di masa lampau dan sudah selesai di saat itu juga. Simple past tense adalah kalimat yang sangat biasa digunakan di dalam bahasa Inggris.

Untuk membuat kalimat simple past tense, kita harus menggunakan kata kerja bentuk kedua. Ada dua macam kata kerja dalam bahasa Inggris: kata kerja beraturan (regular) dan kata kerja tak beraturan (irregular). Kedua bentuk kata kerja tersebut memiliki aturan yang berbeda dalam penggunaan kata kerja bentuk kedua.

1. Kata kerja beraturan (Regular)

Untuk mengubah kata kerja beraturan (regular) ke dalam bentuk simple past, kita bisa menambahkan akhiran “-ed” pada kata kerja tersebut.

Contoh:

  • Want ⇒ wanted
  • Visit ⇒ visited
  • Accept ⇒ accepted
  • Call ⇒ called
  • Talk ⇒ talked
  • Dancedanced (Jika huruf terakhir “-e”, maka tinggal ditambah “-d”.)
  • Trytried (Jika huruf terakhir “-y”, maka huruf “-y” dihilangkan dan diganti “-ied”.)
  • Stopstopped (Jika susunan tiga huruf terakhir adalah konsonan-vokal-konsonan, kita bisa menambahkan huruf konsonan terakhir ditambah “-ed”.)

2. Kata kerja tdak beraturan (Irregular)

Sedangkan kata kerja tak beraturan (irregular) tidak memiliki tambahan “-ed” di akhir kata kerja. Seperti istilahnya, kata kerja tak beraturan tidak memiliki aturan baku untuk kata kerja bentuk keduanya. Ada kata kerja yang sama sekali berubah dan ada juga kata kerja yang tidak berubah.

Contoh:

  • Go ⇒ went
  • Have ⇒ had
  • Do ⇒ did
  • Put ⇒ put
  • Cut ⇒ cut
