1. Simple Past Tense
Simple past tense is a verb tense used to describe actions or states that
occurred and were completed in the past. It is also known as the past
simple tense. In English, the simple past tense is formed by adding the
suffix "-ed" to regular verbs or using irregular verb forms.
What is Simple Past Tense?
Simple Past Tense is the tense used to express an action or event that
happened in the past. So, the event that is being told, starts and ends in
the past.
As in the example conversation, the bolded sentence in the conversation is:
"You sang beautifully on the competition yesterday."
In this sentence, the "you" in question is Bagus. As we know from the
conversation between Tasya and Bagus above, Bagus participated in the
singing competition yesterday, and in the competition, Bagus sang
beautifully. Now, this incident of Bagus singing, happened in the past and
has also ended in the past, so Tasya uses Simple Past Tense in her
sentence.
Uses of Simple Past Tense
This tense is commonly used in conversation, when the speaker recounts
events that have already passed. It can also be used when we write stories
about past experiences. In addition, you can also find the use of this tense
in fairy tale books that tell stories about the past.
Simple Past Tense Formula
To understand more about Simple Past Tense, you can pay attention to the
pattern and example sentences. In this tense, the verb used is verb 2 (for
verbal sentences) and the be used is past tense be (for nominal
sentences).
So, a verbal sentence is a sentence whose predicate uses a verb
(verb/verb). Nominal sentences, on the other hand, are sentences where
the predicate is a noun. In English, you can use be to express a noun
predicate.
Examples of verbal sentences and nominal sentences using Simple Past
Tense are as follows:
Verbal Sentence
I ate rice.
It snowed yesterday.
Nominal Sentence
She was a student.
We were so happy last summer.
Do you understand the difference between verbal sentences and nominal
sentences? To better understand, let's learn the Simple Past Tense pattern
and its examples in more detail!
1. Simple Past Tense Formula for Verbal Sentences
For the Simple Past Tense pattern or formula in verbal sentences and its
examples, here are the details.

Interrogative Sentence: Did + subject + Verb 1 + ?

Jadi, untuk kalimat verbal, jika kalimatnya adalah bentuk
kalimat positif (positive), pastikan bahwa verb yang kamu gunakan

bentuk kalimat tanya (interrogative), verb yang digunakan
adalah verb 1 karena bentuk lampaunya sudah diwakilkan oleh did.

2.Present perfect
Present perfect is a verb tense used to describe actions or states that
started in the past and continue into the present, or have a connection to
the present. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" or "has"
followed by the past participle of the main verb.
Present Perfect Tense is a verb form used to express an action or
situation that has started in the past and is still continuing in the present or
has finished at a certain point in time in the past, but its effects are still
continuing. We use the Present Perfect Tense to show an event that has
happened in a non-specific time. So, time adverbs like yesterday, one year
ago, last week, etc., are not needed in this tense.
Present Perfect Tense adalah bentuk kata kerja yang digunakan untuk
menyatakan suatu tindakan atau keadaan yang telah dimulai di masa
lampau dan masih berlangsung di masa sekarang atau telah selesai di
suatu titik waktu tertentu di masa lampau, namun efeknya masih berlanjut.
Kita menggunakan Present Perfect Tense untuk menunjukkan peristiwa
yang telah terjadi dalam waktu yang tidak spesifik. Jadi,kata keterangan
waktu seperti kemarin, satu tahun yang lalu, minggu lalu, dan sebagainya,
tidak diperlukan dalam bentuk ini.

3. Narative Text
What is a Narrative Text?
Narrative text is a fictional or imaginary story created with the aim of
entertaining readers.
Narrative text also has many types, including: romances, fables, slice of
life, adventure, horror, ballads, historical, personal experience, and fairy.
Generic Structure of Narrative Text
In general, the structure of narrative text in English is divided into four
parts. However, only three are mandatory while the other is optional.
Okay, let's go through them one by one.
1. Orientation
The first narrative text structure in English is orientation or introduction.
In this section, the writer will usually introduce the elements in the story
such as the introduction of characters and settings.
It is in this section that you can usually recognize what elements are in the
narrative text.
After reading this section, you as a reader can also identify which
protagonists and antagonists in the story.
2. Complication
Usually a narrative text will be monotonous and uninteresting if it has no conflict.
Well, conflict in the narrative text structure is very important guys, because when
viewed from the reader's side, this section will build curiosity and curiosity of the
reader to read more about a narrative text.
Complication is part of the narrative text structure that tells about the beginning of
the problem or conflict until the climax occurs.
If you're watching soap operas, the complication part usually makes you grumble
the most, especially if the antagonist is getting sneaky and the conflict between
characters is getting heated.
Well, in narrative text, complication can also be considered as the culmination
after
we are introduced to the characters, setting, and story in it.
3. Resolution
Resolution is the final part of the story in the form of a solution or resolution
of the problem that arose earlier. This part is also commonly known as the
anti-climax in narrative text structures.
Resolution in narrative text will not necessarily benefit the protagonist. The
important thing about this part is the completion of the problem in the
complication part.
4. Reorientation
This last part of the narrative text structure is optional, guys!
Generally, reorientation contains moral messages, advice, or mandates
from the author. Not all writers write moral messages explicitly.
Short Narrative Text Example
[...] Dilan is a reckless guy, Milea is afraid that Dilan will be expelled from
school. Suddenly, Piyan came and told her that Dilan was fighting at Bi
Eem's stall. Milea rushes in and tries to break up Dilan's gang fight.
Unfortunately, Dilan thought Milea's actions were too controlling. Therefore,
he tried to stay away from Milea. [...]
Based on the general structure of the narrative text, the paragraph above
belongs to the section ....
A. Orientation
B. Complication
C. Resolution
D. Coda
E. Conclusion
Answer: The text uses the words afraid, all of sudden, and fighting so that
there is conflict. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Complication.
4. Interpreting Song
Lagu or song in English, is the art of composing tones or sounds in an
order, combination, and temporal relationship (usually accompanied by
musical instruments) to produce musical compositions that contain unity
and continuity.
Songs are a way to express emotions and feelings in a fun way.
Songs can also be a medium to convey criticism about the situation in
society. Moral values are usually implied in the lyrics made by songwriters.
Generic structure of song
Some structures of a song in English are generally as follows:
Intro, the initial part of the song that has not heard the singer's voice only
instruments.
Verse or stanza, the introductory part to the chorus
Bridge, used to bridge between parts of the song. Like between the chorus
and verse or chorus with a modulated chorus. The notes played on the
bridge are generally very different from the verse and chorus.
Chorus, the core message or story of the song. It uses a different and more
pleasant tone pattern than the verse.
Reffrein or reff is almost the same as the chorus. Reffs are usually simpler
than choruses. Reff means repetition.
The coda is the final part of the song with the tune and verse closing the
song. Unlike the brigde, the coda picks up some pre-existing lyrics and
notes.
The structure is not rigid, so not all songs have a structure arranged like
that. But every song in general must have a verse, chorus, and bridge.
Language features of song
Songs also have language features, as follows:
Imagery.
Describes about feelings and emotions, meaning that a song usually tries to
describe the feelings felt by the writer.
Rhythm
Rhythm here is used to create mood. For example, if we are sad and listen
to a song with a slow rhythm, then we will be carried away by the song. So,
rhythm creates mood!
Figures of speech
Some of the figures of speech used in a song include:
Metaphor (metaphor) At first glance, the two things being compared are not
related, but there are actually similarities between the two things, for
example: Time is a thief or Her hair was silk.
Simile (figurative) A thing is described with something similar by using the
word 'like' or 'as', for example: My love is like a red rose.
Hyperbole (hyperbole) A thing is described in an exaggerated way,
sometimes tickling because it is too much. For example: That math
homework took me 8 million years to finish. (That math homework took me
8 million years to finish)
Personification An object appears like a person means that an object (non-
human) has human-like abilities. For example: The wind whispered or The
snowflakes danced in the wind.
Alliteration The repetition of sounds at the beginning of each word. For
example: Peter Parker picked a pack of pants punctually.
