SIMPLE PAST TENSE and PRESENT PERFECT TENSE. Chapter 6 part 1

Assalamualaikum hi everyone. How are you guys? I hope until healthy. Welcome to my blog this is about simple present tense and present perfect tense🎊

🔷 What is the Simple Past Tense?

Simple Past Tense is a tense which is used to express an action or event that happened in the past. So, the events that are told, begin and end in the past.

As in the example conversation above, the sentences that are bolded in the conversation are:

"You sang beautifully on the competition yesterday."

In this sentence, "you" is meant is good. As we know from the conversation between Tasya and Bagus above, Bagus took part in a singing competition yesterday, and in that competition, Bagus sang beautifully. Well, this incident of beautiful singing happened in the past and has ended in the past, so Tasya uses the Simple Past Tense in her sentence.

🔷 Use of Simple Past Tense

This tense is usually used in conversation, when the speaker tells an event that has passed. It can also be used when we write stories about past experiences. In addition, the use of these tenses can also be found in fairy tale books that tell stories from the past.

🔷 Uses of Present Perfect Tense

1. Stating events that have taken place in the past and are still ongoing today. Usually, the present perfect tense uses "for = during" (which is followed by a period of time), for example:

 For 10 years. Or "since = since" (followed by a specific time), for example: Since 2010.

Example of sentences:

🟡 I have learned to play piano for two years.

🟡 My English has really improved since I moved to England.

. To express an activity that has just been completed by using the word just.

Example of sentences:

🟡 Ratu has just left the class.

3. Declare events in the past that have a result or effect in the present.

Example of sentences:

🟡 I have opened the door.

4. To state events or life experiences and adverbs of time are not needed. We can add the adverb "ever" which means ever, or "never" which means never, to describe our experience.

Example of sentences:

🟡 Have you ever visited her house. 

🟡 I have never eaten sushi.

5. To express the repetition of an activity from the past to the present. An activity that happened repeatedly in the past, and still repeats itself until now.

Example of sentences:

🟡 I have traveled to many countries so far.

🎀 Present Perfect Tense Sentence Pattern

The present perfect tense is divided into two, namely verbal sentence patterns and nominal sentence patterns. Let's take a look at the differences one by one, shall we?

A. Verbal Sentence Patterns

1. Positive sentence

Subject + have/has + Verb 3.

“Riri has repeatedly sung this love song since yesterday”.

2. Negative sentences

Subject + have/has + not + Verb 3.

“They have not told me about this story before”.

3. Interrogative sentences

Have/has + subject + Verb3 + ?

“Have you called him twice?”

So, if you have a question using the Present Perfect Tense like that, then you can answer it like this: "Yes, I have" or "No, I haven't".

After explaining the material for chapter six part one. I will show the questions that have been done, namely practice questions that are on my teacher's google slite.
