4.6Menyusun teks interaksi transaksional, lisan dan tulis, pendek dan sederhana, yang melibatkan tindakan unsur dan meminta informasi terkait keadaan/tindakan/kegiatan/kejadian yang dilakukan/terjadi di waktu lampau yang merujuk waktu terjadinya dan kesudahannya, dengan memperhatikan fungsi sosial, struktur teks, dan unsur kebahasaan yang benar dan sesuai konteks.

Present Perfect Tense
P
resent Perfect tense adalah bentuk waktu dalam bahasa Inggris yang penting untuk dipelajari karena sangat sering digunakan, baik dalam percakapan maupun dalam bahasa tertulis. Agar dapat menggunakan Present Perfect tense secara baik dan benar, konsepnya harus dipahami, diterima, lalu diterapkan secara utuh, tanpa memaksakan konsep bahasa kita ke dalamnya. Karena konsepnya yang asing itulah yang membuat Present Perfect tense sangat menarik untuk dipelajari.
I. Struktur Present Perfect tense

Struktur Present Perfect tense tergolong sederhana dan sangat mudah dipahami. Berikut ini beberapa contoh kalimat Present Perfect tense dalam bentuk positif/afirmatif, pertanyaan, dan negatif. Perhatikan baik-baik susunan kata-kata yang dicetak tebal.

A. Kalimat dengan subyek I, we, you, they, dan kata benda jamak (students, parents, Andi and Tika, dll).
  • (+): I have learned English for many years.
  • (?): Have I learned English for many years?
  • (-): I have not learned English for many years.
  • We have had breakfast.
  • Have we had breakfast?
  • We have not had breakfast.
  • The students have submitted their assignment.
  • Have the students submitted their assignment?
  • The students have not submitted their assignment.
B. Kalimat dengan subyek He, She, It, dan kata benda tunggal (book, student, Andi, Tika, dll).
  • (+): He has learned English for many years.
  • (?): Has he learned English for many years?
  • (-): He has not learned English for many years.
  • She has had breakfast.
  • Has she had breakfast?
  • She has not had breakfast.
  • The student has submitted his assignment.
  • Has the student submitted his assignment?
  • The student has not submitted his assignment.
Yang harus diingat tentang struktur Present Perfect Tense.
  1. Subyek I, we, you, they, dan kata benda jamak (students, parents, Andi and Tika, dll) menggunakan auxiliary "HAVE" diikuti Verb 3 (Past Participle). Struktur lengkap kata kerjanya adalah HAVE + VERB 3.
  2. Subyek He, She, It, dan kata benda tunggal (book, student, Andi, Tika, dll) menggunakan auxiliary "HAS" diikuti Verb 3 (Past Participle). Struktur lengkap kata kerjanya adalah HAS + VERB 3.
  3. Tidak ada perubahan bentuk kata kerja dalam kalimat tanya maupun negatif, tetap HAVE + VERB 3 atau HAS + VERB 3, hanya susunan saja yang berubah.
  4. Penulisan "have" dan "has" dalam Present Perfect tense bisa disingkat. Lihat contoh kalimat di bawah ini:
    • I've never been to Gili island.
    • You've done right.
    • He's left already.
    • She's sent the email.
    • It's been there for years.
    • John's gone home already.
    • The car's broken down.
    • We've applied a new system.
    • They've finished their work.
    Jadi, jika menemukan penyingkatan 's, seperti pada he's, she's, it's, jangan gegabah menyimpulkan bahwa itu adalah singkatan dari "is". Bisa jadi itu adalah penyingkatan dari "has" jika bentuknya adalah Present Perfect tense.
II. Penggunaan Present Perfect tense
Tense ini disebut Present Perfect tense karena penggunaannya menyiratkan adanya hubungan antara masa sekarang (present) dengan masa lampau (past). Penggunaan Present Perfect tense yang penting untuk diketahui adalah:
  1. Present Perfect tense mengungkapkan hal atau kejadian yang pernah dialami di masa lampau, tanpa membicarakan atau menitik-beratkan pada waktu kejadian, bahkan seringkali waktu kejadian tidak diketahui secara pasti.
    • I have seen monkeys in that forest.
    • She has been to many beautiful places.
    • They have lived here before.
    Jika kita menyebutkan waktu kejadian dalam contoh kalimat di atas, Simple Past tense harus digunakan.
  2. Present perfect tense digunakan untuk memberikan informasi terbaru tentang perkembangan atau kegiatan yang baru saja terjadi atau mengalami perubahan.
    • He has recovered from his illness. (Last week, he was still sick.)
    • They have bought a house. (Last year, they didn't have a house)
    • My English has improved a lot. I couldn't speak English well, but now I can.
  3. Dengan menggunakan for (selama) dan since (sejak), Present perfect tense membicarakan kejadian atau kegiatan yang berawal di waktu lampau dan masih berlanjut sampai sekarang.
    • For dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti "selama" jangka waktu tertentu, misal for 2 hours, for a week, for a month, for a year, for ten years, dll.
    • Since dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti "sejak" saat tertentu di waktu lampau, misal since 6.00 a.m., since yesterday, since July, since 2019, since the beginning of the year, dll.
    Contoh kalimat Present Perfect tense dengan "for" dan "since":
    • I have lived here for two years.
    • She has been sick for 2 days.
    • They have lived here since 2019.
    • The regulation has been effective since January.
  4. "Just" seringkali digunakan dalam Present Perfect tense positif / afirmatif, dengan makna "a short time ago (baru saja)". Contoh:
    • She has just left. (Dia baru saja berangkat.)
    • I've just had dinner. (Saya baru saja makan malam)
    • The package has just arrived. (Paket itu baru saja tiba).
  5. "Already" seringkali digunakan dalam Present Perfect tense positif / afirmatif dan pertanyaan (question) dengan makna "sudah". Contoh:
    • She has already left. (Dia sudah berangkat.)
    • Has he already known about the news? (Sudahkah dia tahu tentang berita itu?)
    • The package has already arrived. (Paket itu sudah tiba).
  6. "Yet" seringkali digunakan dalam Present Perfect tense pertanyaan atau negatif dan diletakkan di akhir kalimat, yang bermakna "until now (belum)". Contoh:
    • She hasn't left yet. (Dia belum berangkat.)
    • I haven't had dinner yet. (Saya belum makan malam)
    • Has the package arrived yet? (Apakah paket itu belum tiba?).
  7. Present Perfect tense sering digunakan bersama "Ever" dalam kalimat tanya (question) dengan makna "pernahkah", dan "Never" dengan makna "tidak pernah / belum pernah". Contoh:
    • Have you ever been here before? (Pernahkah kamu ke sini sebelum ini?)
    • Have you ever eaten mangosteens? (Pernahkah kamu makan manggis?)
    • He has never travelled by air. (Dia belum pernah bepergian naik pesawat?).
Itulah beberapa penggunaan Present Perfect tense yang penting untuk diketahui. Yang harus diingat, jangan memaksakan konsep bahasa kita saat menterjemahkan atau menggunakan Present Perfect tense. Pahami bentuk dan penggunaannya, lalu terapkan konsepnya secara utuh.

Sebagai tambahan, bentuk Present Perfect tense seringkali dikontraskan dengan Simple Past tense.

    Betty:I see. Oh, now the passengers are being allowed to come out of the plane! But I can't see Nancy and Tom yet.

    English Dialogue And Exercise: SO VS NEITHER

    I
    t's Saturday evening. Jim and Betty have been working in the garden all day. They're sitting in the living room after dinner.
    Jim:I've worked so hard today, Betty!
    Betty:So have I, Jim! I haven't even read this morning's paper.
    Jim:Neither have I! Where is it?
    Betty:Oh, I think it's on top of refrigerator in the kitchen. Would you mind getting it, Jim? I'm too tired to move.
    Jim:I don't really want to read it.
    Betty:Well, neither do I. You know, my back is quite sore.

    Betty:I didn't stop working all the afternoon.

    Betty:So was mine. I wasn't able to stand up straight for quite a while afterwards.
    Jim:Neither was I. My whole body feels sore.
    Betty:So does mine. I shan't plant any more young plants for a while.
    Jim:Neither shall I. I'd like to rest for hours now.

    Margaret:I'm not sure, Hadi. Where is it?
    Hadi:It's in Central Java. It's an old Buddhist temple. It was built - oh, a long time ago.
    Margaret:How long ago?
    Hadi:I don't know, Margaret - I'm not a history student!
    Margaret:Neither am I.
    Hadi:I don't think the date is known exactly, but it must have been built - oh, between the eighth and ninth centuries. It was designed very beautifully.
    Margaret:And it's a tourist attraction, is it?
    Hadi:Yes. If you come to the party next week, you'll be shown some pictures of it. Tom and Nancy are bringing some photos that were taken in Indonesia.
    Margaret:Good! I love being shown photos! What else did Tom and Nancy do?
    Hadi:Well, they didn't have much time to go to a lot of places - it was only a very short holiday - but they had a quick visit to Bali. Then they came back to Jakarta, and caught the plane home to Sydney.
    Margaret:And they were met at the airport by Betty and Jim.
    Hadi:Yes. And when Betty and Jim heard all about their holiday, they decided that they must go to Indonesia for a holiday themselves!

    II. Bagaimana penggunaan Present Continuous Tense?
    Present Continuous Tense digunakan untuk:
    • Membicarakan kegiatan yang sedang berlangsung atau sedang dilakukan sekarang / pada saat ini juga, biasanya dengan keterangan waktu; now, at the moment, at present. Contoh:
      • You are studying how to use the present continuous tense.
      • Right now you are looking at this screen.
      • You are reading these example sentences.
    • Membicarakan kegiatan di masa sekarang yang bersifat sementara, bukan merupakan kebiasaan dan tidak bersifat permanen, biasanya dengan keterangan waktu; at this time, temporarily, for the time being. Contoh:
      • The government is trying to stop the spread of Covid-19.
      • Experts are working hard to develop a vaccine for Covid-19.
      • He is living with his sister until he finds a boarding house.
    • Membicarakan kegiatan yang sudah direncanakan / dipersiapkan dan akan segera dilakukan di waktu yang akan datang, dan harus disertai dengan keterangan waktu (adverbs of time), seperti; this evening, tomorrow, next week, in July, atau paling tidak waktu kegiatan sudah dipahami / diketahui. Contoh:
      • We are leaving at 8 this evening. We have booked the train tickets.
      • I am seeing my dentist tomorrow. We have made an appointment.
      • We are going to the beach this weekend.
    • Digunakan dengan always, umumnya dalam kalimat positif, untuk membicarakan suatu kebiasaan, disengaja atau tidak disengaja, yang dianggap mengganggu dan menjengkelkan karena terjadi berulang kali. Contoh:
      • She is always asking me questions.
      • Rama is always complaining about his job.
      • Oh no. You are always losing your keys.
      Dalam penggunaan ini, always + present continuous tense berbeda dengan always + simple present tense yang membicarakan rutinitas biasa.
    III. Bagaimana penulisan ejaan dalam Present Continuous tense?
    Present Continuous tense disusun dengan menggunakan kata kerja bentuk "ing" (verb -ing), caranya dengan menambahkan akhiran "ing" pada kata kerja dasar. Ada beberapa aturan dalam pembentukan verb-ing, sebagai berikut:
    • Tidak ada perubahan pada kata kerja dasar jika huruf terakhir berupa konsonan yang pengucapannya tidak mendapat penekanan.
      Contoh: walk > walking, work > working, stand > standing, blow > blowing, rain > raining, steer > steering, play > playing, open > opening, dll.
    • Menggandakan huruf terakhir jika huruf terakhir berupa konsonan yang pengucapannya mendapat penekanan.
      Contoh: stop > stopping, run > running, begin > beginning, drop > dropping, bid > bidding, get > getting, dll.
    • Jika kata kerja dasar berakhiran "ie", gantilah "ie" dengan "y".
      Contoh: lie > lying, die > dying, tie > tying, dll.
    • Jika kata kerja dasar berakhiran dengan huruf vokal (vowel) "e", hilangkan "e".
      Contoh: come > coming, make > making, take > taking, choose > choosing, give > giving, write > writing, dll.

    Simple Past Tense
    S
    imple Past tense adalah bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan untuk membicarakan kegiatan atau kejadian di waktu lampau. Ada beberapa tenses yang bisa digunakan untuk membicarakan sesuatu yang terjadi di masa lampau, akan tetapi simple past tense inilah yang paling sering digunakan. Dalam materi ini, kita akan mempelajari bentuk atau struktur serta penggunaan Simple Past tense melalui contoh-contoh kalimat dan latihan soal untuk membantu kalian dalam belajar.
    1. Bagaimana struktur kalimat dan bentuk kata kerja Simple Past tense?
    Untuk membuat kalimat dalam Simple Past tense, kita menggunakan;
    kata kerja bentuk lampau (Verb 2)
    atau
    auxiliary (did) + kata kerja dasar (verb 1)

    Struktur kalimat positif, kalimat tanya, dan kalimat negatif dalam Simple Past tense secara lengkap adalah sebagai berikut:
    (+) Subject + verb 2
    (?)Did + subject + verb 1?
    (-) Subject + did not (didn't) + verb 1

    Lihatlah contoh-contoh kalimat dalam Simple Past tense berikut ini.
    Contoh kalimat positif dalam Simple Past tense

    2. Bagaimana dengan kata kerja "to be" dalam Simple Past tense?
    Penting diketahui bahwa kata kerja "to be" tidak menggunakan struktur kalimat past tense seperti di atas. Kata kerja "to be" (was, were) tidak membutuhkan auxiliary pada kalimat negatif dan kalimat tanya. Subyek I/he/she/it membutuhkan bentuk "to be" was, sedangkan we/you/they membutuhkan bentuk "to be" were. Perhatikan struktur kalimat Simple Past tense dengan kata kerja "to be" berikut ini:

    here yesterday.
    3. Bagaimana dan kapan kita menggunakan Simple Past tense?

    Seperti yang telah disebutkan di atas, Simple Past tense adalah bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan untuk kegiatan atau kejadian di waktu lampau. Karena itu, Simple Past tense hampir selalu digunakan dalam teks recount tentang pengalaman seseorang atau biografi seorang tokoh, narrative, seperti dongeng, legenda, dan cerita rakyat, serta teks berita (news item).

    Secara lebih spesifik, Simple Past tense digunakan untuk:

    • Membicarakan suatu keadaan, kejadian atau kegiatan di waktu lampau dan waktu kejadiannya disebutkan atau sudah diketahui. Contoh:
      • The coronavirus first surfaced in a Chinese seafood and poultry market in Wuhan at the end of 2019.
      • On January 11 2020, Chinese state media reported the first known death from an illness caused by the virus.
      • Wage Rudolf Supratman, the writer of "Indonesia Raya" national anthem, was born on March 9, 1903 in Somongari, Purworejo, Central Java.
    • Membicarakan suatu keadaan, kejadian atau kegiatan yang sudah jelas terjadi di waktu lampau meskipun waktu kejadian tidak disebutkan secara spesifik. Contoh:
      • I graduated from a vocational high school in Probolinggo.
      • She worked in that factory for two years. (but she does not work there now.)
      • I bought this book in a book market in Malang.
    • Membicarakan suatu keadaan, kejadian atau kegiatan yang terjadi di suatu periode waktu lampau yang tidak mungkin akan terjadi lagi. Contoh:
      • Ismail Marzuki wrote at least 22 songs in his life.
      • My father took me to the zoo twice when I was a child.
      • It rained three times last week.
      Di sinilah letak perbedaan Simple Past dengan Present Perfect tense.

      Peristiwa-peristiwa lampau dalam kalimat contoh di atas tidak mungkin akan terjadi lagi karena jangka waktunya sudah berakhir. Jika jangka waktu masih belum berakhir dan masih ada kemungkinan untuk terjadi lagi, kita harus menggunakan bentuk Present Perfect tense.

    • Menanyakan kapan waktu terjadinya suatu keadaan, kejadian, atau kegiatan di waktu lampau. Contoh:
      • When did you arrive from Surabaya?
      • When did you meet her?
      • What time did you leave the office last night?
    • Dengan adverbs of frequency seperti always, usually, often, sometimes, seldom, rarely, never, Simple Past digunakan untuk membicarakan kebiasaan di masa lampau, sama seperti penggunaan used to untuk membicarakan kebiasaan lampau. Contoh:
      • My father always picked me up from school.
      • They never came late.
      • He was always busy in the morning.
    • Membuat kalimat conditional (conditional sentence) type 2. Contoh:
      • If you took a closer look, you would be able to see the difference between these two pictures.
      • If they weren't so noisy, we would be able to concentrate.
      • It would not be so cold if you closed that window.

    English Dialogue With Passive Voice: The Invitation

    Jim:Betty, something interesting happened this afternoon.
    Betty:This is such an interesting article in the paper, Jim.
    Jim:Now, Betty! There's something I want to tell you.
    Betty:Jim! You know I don't like being disturbed while I'm reading the paper.
    Jim:But Betty, Hadi has invited us to a party at the University!
    Betty:At the University! Why didn't you tell me?
    Jim:I've been trying to tell you, but you didn't want to be disturbed.
    Betty:Well, I want to be told all about it. Who invited us?
    Jim:Hadi phoned me this afternoon and invited us.
    Betty:What sort of party will it be?
    Jim:Hadi's professor is giving a farewell party for him. The professor told him that some of his best friends could be invited too.
    Betty:And Hadi thought of us! I'm very happy to be invited to the party. and I'm very proud of being included among Hadi's best friends!
    Jim:Well, I hope to be introduced to Hadi's professor. I've heard so much about him.
    Betty:Jim! What shall I wear?
    Jim:Oh, you have plenty of beautiful clothes. Of course, my best suit should be dry cleaned.
    Betty:Jim, your best suit needn't be dry cleaned. It looks quite all right. But I'll need a new dress for the party. I wouldn't like to be seen at the party in an old dress.
    Jim:Well, I know you like being invited to parties, and I know you enjoy being admired when you're wearing new clothes, but the expense must be thought of!
    Betty:Oh, the money for a new dress could be saved if you gave up smoking for a few weeks!
    Jim:Now, Betty, let's be sensible. You have that wonderful blue dress that you wore to Nancy's party. Hadi and Yati weren't at that party, so they haven't seen it yet. Nobody at Hadi's party will have seen that dress, so you'll be able to wear that.

    Both ... and; Either ... or; Neither ... nor

    B
    oth - and, Either - or, dan Neither - nor dalam bahasa Inggris adalah merupakan kata sambung berpasangan yang disebut "Paired Conjunction". Fungsinya adalah untuk menggabungkan dua kata benda, kata kerja, kata sifat, maupun kata keterangan demi efisiensi kalimat. Yang harus selalu diingat dalam penggabungan ini adalah struktur yang paralel, atau setingkat, misal kata benda harus digabungkan dengan kata benda, bukan dengan jenis kata lainnya. Selanjutnya, mari kita lihat penjelasan di bawah ini.

    1. Both ... and

    Both Either Neither
    Both ... and ...memiliki makna 'one and the other' (kedua-duanya, baik yang ini maupun yang itu). Jika posisinya adalah subyek, both ... and ... membutuhkan kata kerja plural (jamak). Contoh:
    • Both Rina and Kiki are attending the sales meeting.
    • Both Alya and Rika have submitted their assignment.
    Both ... and ... bisa digunakan untuk memberi penekanan pada 2 (dua) kombinasi kata sifat (adjective), kata benda (noun), atau kata kerja (verb). Contoh:
    • The trip was both long and boring.
    • My father is both a teacher and a translator.
    Tambahan:
    Ada beberapa macam penggunaan both selain yang telah disebutkan di atas:
    • Both bisa berdiri sendiri atau diikuti oleh kata benda (noun)
    • Both bisa diikuti (of) + the/these/those atau possessives
    • Both bisa diikuti of + us/you/them
    • A personal pronoun + both is also possible
    Contoh:
    • Both (drivers) were uninjured in the accident.
    • They both tried to evacuate the passengers.

    2. Either ... or

    'Either ... or' digunakan dalam kalimat bermakna positif, yang berarti "one or the other, this or that, he or she" (salah satu dari dua, yang ini atau yang itu). Jika posisinya adalah subyek, kata kerja (verb) yang dibutuhkan bergantung pada subyek yang ada tepat di depan kata kerja. Contoh:
    • Either Joni or his friends have to report to the manager. (subyek yg terdekat dengan kata kerja adalah jamak (plural), "his friends")
    • Either Joni or Laila has to attend the meeting. (subyek yg terdekat dengan kata kerja adalah tunggal (singular), "Laila"
    Tambahan:
    "Either" bisa berdiri sendiri maupun digunakan bersama kata benda (noun/pronoun), atau dengan "of + the/these/those". Dalam struktur demikian, either membutuhkan kata kerja tunggal (singular). Contoh:
    • I don't like either of those films.
    • Either (of these) is acceptable.

    3. Neither ... nor

    'Neither ... nor' digunakan dengan kata kerja berbentuk positif, namun menjadikan kalimat bermakna negatif, yang berarti "not this one nor the other, not this nor that, not he nor she"" (bukan/tidak yang ini maupun yang itu, tidak kedua-duanya). Jika posisinya adalah subyek, kata kerja (verb) yang dibutuhkan bergantung pada subyek yang ada tepat di depan kata kerja. Contoh:
    • Neither Joni nor his friends study French. (subyek yg terdekat dengan kata kerja adalah jamak (plural), "his friends")
    • Neither Joni nor Laila studies French. (subyek yg terdekat dengan kata kerja adalah tunggal (singular), "Laila"
    Tambahan:
    "Neither" bisa berdiri sendiri maupun digunakan bersama kata benda (noun/pronoun), atau dengan "of + the/these/those". Dalam struktur demikian, neither membutuhkan kata kerja tunggal (singular). Contoh:
    • Neither of those films was directed by him.
    • Neither (of these) is acceptable.

    4. Persamaan "Not either ... or" dengan "Neither ... nor"

    "Not either ... or" bermakna sama dan bisa menggantikan "neither ... nor", kecuali jika sebagai subyek kalimat. Contoh:
    • The film was not either interesting or worth-seeing.
      The film was neither interesting nor worth-seeing.
    • He didn't either copy or save the files.
      He neither copied nor saved the files.
