-present tense-

Answer:

My elder sister and I go shopping today. My sister buys a dress as a birthday present for her friend. I buy a new pair of shoes, skateboard, and sneakers. I buy the sneakers using my pocket money. I have saved my money for ten months. I am so happy that I can buy them by myself. On Sunday morning, I put on my shoes. Then I play skateboard all day. The shoes are so comfortable. It is so fun.

Simple present tense merupakan bentuk tense dinyatakan saat pekerjaan dilakukan di masa kini secara berulang atau rutinitas. Pola yang digunakan pada simple present tense adalah:

positive (verbal)

S + V1(-s/es) + ...

Untuk verba terjadi sufiksasi apabila subyeknya:

• he, she, it, name, object

positive (nominal)

S + to be (is/am/are) + adj/noun/adv

to be dipilih salah satu berdasarkan subyeknya.

• is: he, she, it, name, object
• am: I
• are: you, they, we, names, objects

negative (verbal)

S + do/does + not + V1 + ...

dengan do/does dipilih salah satu berdasarkan subyeknya.

• do: I, you, they, we, names, objects
• does: he, she, it, name, object

negative (nominal)

S + is/am/are + not + adj/noun/adv

interrogative (verbal)

do/does + S + V1 + ...?

interrogative (nominal)

is/am/are + S + adj/noun/adv + ...?

Agar dapat merubah kalimat di atas dalam bentuk simple present, awalnya harus meneliti kata mana yang mendukung kalimat tersebut menjadi simple past. Apabila ada, maka ubah menjadi bentuk simple present. Kata-kata yang diubah pada soal di atas adalah:

• went -> go
• yesterday -> today
• bought -> buys (S: my sister)
• bought -> buy (S: I)
• had saved -> have saved
• was -> am (S: I)
• could -> can
• put -> put
• played -> play
• were -> are
• was -> is

.^ Kalimatnya sudah diubah ke dalam bentuk present tense ada di atas. ^.
