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:

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.

Positive Sentence: Subject + Verb 2

Example:

Bagus Sang

Henry ate breakfast this morning

Example:

Tasya didn`t sing

My mom didn`t go to the marke today

Interrogative Sentence: Did + subject + Verb 1 + ?

Example:

Did brenda sing?

Did you do your homework?

Jadi, untuk kalimat verbal, jika kalimatnya adalah bentuk

kalimat positif (positive), pastikan bahwa verb yang kamu gunakan

adalah verb 2.

Tapi, jika kalimatnya adalah bentuk kalimat negatif (negative) atau

bentuk kalimat tanya (interrogative), verb yang digunakan

adalah verb 1 karena bentuk lampaunya sudah diwakilkan oleh did.

2. Simple Past Tense Formula for Nominal Sentences

Next, for the Simple Past Tense pattern or formula in nominal sentences

and its examples, here are the details.

Positive Sentence: Subject + was/were + Complement

Example:

He was an athlete.

We were not sick.

Example:

I wasn`t ready for that.

You weren`t sick.

Interrogative Sentence: Was/were + Subject + Complement + ?

Example:

Was she wrong for being kind?

Were you a teacher?

Jadi, untuk kalimat nominal, baik bentuk kalimat positif (positive), bentuk

kalimat negatif (negative), maupun bentuk kalimat tanya

(interrogative), pastikan bahwa be yang kamu gunakan

adalah be bentuk past (lampau).

Eits, jangan lupa juga, bahwa be yang digunakan harus sesuai

dengan subject-nya, ya Kamu bisa perhatikan tabel berikut untuk

membantu kamu mengingat be yang sesuai untuk masing-masing subject.

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.

sentences.

2. Negative Sentence

Example: He does not work at the hospital.

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

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

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.

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:

describe the feelings felt by the writer.

to a song with a slow rhythm, then we will be carried away by the song. So,

rhythm creates mood!
