1.I’m
. . . how to swim right now.
A.learning
B.learned
C.learns
D.learn
Jawaban dan pembahasan
Jawaban: A
Pembahasan:
Ini merupakan bentuk present
continuous tense. Menggunakan rumus subject + to be (is, am, are) +
Verb-ing + Complement. Jadi kalimatnya seharusnya menjadi ‘I’m learning
how to swim right now’, kenapa bisa dipastikan ini merupakan present
continuous tense, karena jika dilihat di pelengkap kalimatnya atau
keterangan waktu kejadian/eventnya sedang berlangsung pada saat ini. “swim
right now”.
2.Look!
The man . . . soundly.
A.are
sleeping
B.is
sleeping
C.sleeping
D.sleep
Jawawan dan pembahasan
Jawaban: B
Pembahasan:
The man = “orang ketiga
tunggal”
Untuk orang ketiga
tunggal menggunakan to be “is”.
Rumus Present
Continuous Tense menggunakan { to be + verb-ing }, Jadi kalimat diatas
menjadi
Look! The man is sleeping soundly.
3.The
teacher always . . . us interesting project work.
A.give
B.gives
C.giving
D.is
giving
Jawaban dan Pembahasan
Jawaban: B
Pembahasan:
Kita bedah kalimat
rumpangnya.
The teacher = subject singular
always = adverb of frequency
‘adverb of frequency’ ini
biasanya dipergunakan dalam simple present tense, rumus simple present tense
adalah {Subject + V1(-s for singular)}, {The teacher always gives
us interesting project work.}
4.We
are trying to catch the ball that . . . down the hill.
A.is
rolling
B.rolled
C.rolls
D.roll
Jawaban dan pembahasan
Jawaban: A
Pembahasan
“We are trying to catch
the ball”, kalimat ini merupakan present continuous tense , jadi
kejadiannya sedang berlangsung berarti bolanya berguling ke bawah bukit juga
kejadiannya sedang berlangsung, sehingga untuk melengkapi kalimat di atas
menggunakan present continuous juga, dengan rumus {to be (is, am, dan
are) + Verb-ing}.
Disini subjectnya adalah
“the ball” = singular , yang mempergunakan “is” sebagai to be
nya.
We are trying to catch
the ball that is rolling down the hill.
5.Dad
never . . . us play in the street when it is dark.
A.is
letting
B.letting
C.lets
D.let
Jawaban dan Pembahasan
Jawaban: C
Pembahasan:
Sama seperti nomor 3,
ada ‘adverb of frequency’ yang mengikuti subject yaitu ‘never’ yang
biasanya di gunakan dalam simple present tense.
Rumus {Subject + adv +
Verb (-s untuk third person singular)}
“Dad never lets
us play in the street when it is dark.”
6.I
ran so fast that my heart . . . really hard.
A.beat
B.beats
C.beating
D.was
beating
Jawaban dan Pembahasan
Jawaban: D
‘I ran so fast’
dilihat dari kata kerjanya ‘ran’ ini merupakan simple past tense.
Pertanyaannya manakah yang paling tepat untuk melengkapi kalimat tersebut.
Opsi A dan B sudah tentu
tidak bisa mengisi, karena dipergunakan dalam kalimat simple present tense.
Karena kejadiannya di
masa lampau dan ada kejadian lain yang terjadi secara bersamaan pada saat itu
maka kita gunakan rumus past continuous tense dengan rumus {Subject +
was/were + Verb-ing}.
“I ran so fast that my
heart was beating really hard.”
This is Past
Continuous Tense . Rumus interrogativenya dengan WH Question adalah
{WHQ+was/were+subject+Verb-ing}, salah satu fungsi past continuous tense
adalah membicarakan kejadian/event yang terjadi ketika kejadian lain terjadi di
masa lampau.
Was digunakan untuk I,
he, she, dan it
Were digunakan untuk we,
you, dan they
“Why were you all
laughing when he came in?
8.Read
the conversation carefully.
Imam
:
What are you doing?
Dody
:
I'm watching TV. It's Spongebob.
I like this film very much.
Imam
:
You should . . . now.
You are going
to have a test tomorrow, right?
A.be
studying
B.studying
C.be
study
D.study
Jawaban dan Pembahasan
Jawaban: A
Pembahasan:
In this conversation we
must complete the dialogue.
“You should . . . now.
You are going to have a test tomorrow, right?
Rumus future
continuous tense {subject+modal(will/should/shall)+be+Verb-ing}, sudah
jelaskan pilihan yang paling tepat yang mana? Yups jawaban yang tepat adalah ‘be
studying’
Kalimat lengkapnya: “You
should be studying now. You are going to have a test tomorrow”
9.Complete
the dialogue!
Aisyah
:
Do you have free time this
afternoon at about four?
Ghania
:
Yes, but I think I
will . . . my room
at the time?
A.be
cleaning up
B.cleaning
up
C.cleans
up
D.clean
up
Jawaban dan Pembahasan
Jawaban: A
Sama seperti nomor 8,
kita gunakan future continuous tense
Kalimat lengkapnya: “Yes,
but I think I will be cleaning up my room at the time.
10.Complete
the dialogue!
Aisyah
:
Why can't Agus answer the phone?
Ghania
:
I don't know. He . . .
motorcycle
right now.
A.might
be riding
B.might
ride
C.rides
D.ride
Jawaban dan Pembahasan
Jawaban: A
Pembahasan:
Pastinya sekarang kalian
kebingungan jika melihat pola kalimat yang harus dilengkapinya. Kita breakdown.
Pertama Ghania berbicara
“I don’t know.” Tandanya dia tidak tahu kenapa Agus tidak mengangkat
telponya.
Kedua: Kita harus
melengkapi kalimat ini. Dihubungkan dengan kalimat sebelumnya berarti Ghania
hanya memperkirakan, jadi opsi “C” tidak berlaku karena pasti, dan “D” karena
tidak ada akhiran –s untuk kata ganti orang ketiga tunggal (he, she, it).
Ketiga, ini akan menjadi
pengetahuan baru buat kalian.
Penggunaan “Might”.
Kita gunakan might ketika
kita tidak yakin tentang sesuatu yang terjadi pada saat ini (present)
atau masa depan (future)
Opsi “A” dan “B”
keduanya benar secara grammar, tapi jika dilihat dari konteks kalimatnya ada
kata “right now” berarti sedang berlangsung saat itu juga, tenses yang
membicarakan kejadian yang sedang berlangsung pada saat ini adalah ‘present
continuous tense’ jadi rumus yang digunakan adalah
{subject+might+be+verb-ing}
Kalimat lengkapnya: “I
don’t know. He might be riding motorcycle right now.
