Latihan Soal Simple Past tense dan Past Perfect Tense Bahasa Inggris

13 comments
Simple Past Tense menyatakan suatu aktifitas atau situasi yang mulai dan selesai pada waktu tertentu di masa lalu. Penanda waktu spesifik yang  sering digunakan dalam bentuk simple past tense adalah  yesterday, last (last week), ago ( a week ago), in (in 1980), at (at 7:00), from (from 1975 to 1998), atau when (when I was young). 

Dalam sebuah kalimat, kadang kita menemukan bentuk simple past tense yang dipadukan dengan bentuk tense yang lain, salah satunya adalah bentu past perfect tense. Past Perfect Tense menyatakan suatu aktifitas yang sudah selesai dikerjakan sebelum peristiwa lain terjadi. Dalam penggunaan kalimat, past perfect tense diikuti oleh kejadian lain, misalnya
  • When I reached the station, the train had left.
  • We went climbing to Mount Prau after we had taken an exam.
  • As soon as they had finished working, they ran out to play.
  • Before the police came, the thief had escaped.

Keterangan waktu yang sering digunakan untuk menghubungkan simple past tense dan past perfect tense adalah,
  • after = sesudah
  • as soon as = segera setelah
  • until/ till = hingga
  • before = sebelum
  • when = ketika

Dalam beberapa kasus tertentu, bila urutan peristiwa sudah jelas, tanpa menggunakan perbedaan  tenses baik simple past tense maupun past perfect tense, untuk menatakan peristiwa tersebut dapat menggunakan bentuk simple past tense dan simple past tense dengan menggunakan penghubung before. 
  • Shanti closed the window before she got into bed. (sudah jelas bahwa Shanti menutup jendela terlebih dahulu sebelum pergi tidur)
  • The bus started just before I reached the bus stop.
