DISCUSSION

2.1 Simple Past Tense Definition

Simple past tense is a tense that serves to show the work that happened in the past. This tense 

understanding is almost the same as Simple Present Tense, only the time is different and often used

in conversation and writing.

In general, There are two important facts to remember in this simple past tense:

- There are hundreds of different irregular verbs (Irregular Verbs) with different shapes.

- The form of negative sentences and questions (interrogative) is different from the form of a 

positive sentence.

2.2 The Formula in Making A Past Tense Sentences

1. The Simple Past Tense phrase that uses the verb (VERB)

+	Subject + Verb 2 + Object
-	Subject + DID NOT (DIDN'T) + Verb 1 + Object
?	DID + Subject + Verb 1 + Object ?
?	Question Word + DID + Subject + Verb 1 ?

Contoh :

+	He bought a pair of shoes yesterday.
-	He didn't buy a pair of shoes yesterday.
?	Did he buy a pair of shoes yesterday? Jawaban: Yes He did, atau No, He did not (didn't).
?	Why did he buy a pair of shoes yesterday?

2. Simple Past Tense sentence that does not use verbs  (Non VERB)

+	Subject + To be 2 + Non Verb + Object
-	Subject + To be 2 + NOT + Non Verb + Object
?	To be 2 + Subject + Non Verb + Object?
?	Question Word + To be 2 + Subject + Non Verb + Object?

Contoh :

+	I was a singer 5 years ago. We were a singer 5 years ago.
-	I was not a singer 5 years ago. We were not a singer 5 years ago.
?	Were you a singer 5 years ago? Jawaban: Yes I was, atau No, I was not
?	Where were you last night? Jawaban: I was at home. Why was she absent yesterday? Jawaban: She was sick yesterday.

In a nutshell is like the following table.

Bentuk	Rumus		Contoh Kalimat
+	Verbal	S + Verb-2	She killed a snake yesterday.
	Nominal	S + was/were + nominal	I was there but you did not see me.
-	Verbal	S + did + not + Infinitive	She did not know where to go.
	Nominal	S + was/were + not + nominal	When I was a child, I used to cry.
?	Verbal	Did + S + Infinitive	Did you take my money ?
	Nominal	Was/were + S + nominal?	Was the case hard to solve ?

TOBE PAST TENSE (Use Non Verb )

I	Was
You	Were
They
We
He	Was
She
It

TOBE PAST TENSE ( Use Verb )

I	Did / Didn't
You
They

He She It

2.3 Function in The Making Of Past Tense Sentences

 

1. State activities / activities that have occurred in the past. Usually the offender in the sentence does not say when the activity ends.

Example : a.       I saw a movie yesterday. b.      Did you have your dinner last night ? c.       He did not wash his car.

2. Stating some activities that have occurred in the past. Usually the number of activities more than

 one.

Example : a.        I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim. b.       He arrived from the airport at 08.00 Am, checked into the hotel at 09.00 Am, and met others at 10.00 Am. c.       Did you add flour, pour, in the milk, and then eggs ?

3. Declare the time period of the activities that have occurred in the past, Duration of time 

described is usually long. It could be two years or more.

Example : a.       I lived in Brazil for two years. b.      Shauna studied Japanese for five years.

4. State habits that occur and have stopped in the past, This shape is the same as "Used to". Usually

 we add time information like always, often, usually.

Example : a.       I studied Japanese language when I was child. b.      She worked at movie theater, when she was in junior high school.

 

5. State the general truth that has happened in the past that has not happened again.

Example : a.       She was shy as a child , but now she is easy going. b.      He did not like tomatoes before. 2.4 Focabulary 1.      Irreguler verbs: Main verb (V1) Past form (V2) Participle (V3) Meaning arise arose arisen Terbit, naik, muncul begin began begun Mulai blow blew blown Meniup break broke broken Patah bring brought brought Membawa build built built membangun buy bought bought Membeli catch caught caught menangkap choose chose chosen Memilih come came come Datang cut cut cut Memotong do did done Melakukan dream dreamt dreamt bermimpi drink drank drunk Minum eat ate eaten Makan fall fell fallen Jatuh feel felt felt Merasakan freeze froze frozen Membeku Be ( am, is, are) was, were been Ada Fly flew flown Terbang give gave given Memberikan Get got got Memperoleh Go went gone Pergi grow grew grown Tumbuh Have had had Mempunyai hit hit hit Memukul hold held held Memegang hurt hurt hurt Melukai keep kept kept Menahan kick kick kick Menendang know knew known Mengetahui leave left left Meninggalkan lend lent lent Meminjami lie lay lain Terbaring loose lost lost Kalah make made made Membuat mean meant meant Maksud put put put meletakkan run ran run berlari say said said Mengatakan sit sat sit Duduk sleep slept slept Tidur speak spoke spoken Berbicara spend spent spent Menghabiskan see Saw seen Melihat sell sold sold Menjual tell told told Menceritakan take took taken Mengambil teach taught taught Mengajar think thought thought befikir understand understood understood Mengerti wear wore worn Memakai write wrote written menulis regular verbs Main verb (V1) Past form (V2) Participle (V3) Meaning ask asked asked Bertanya accept accepted accepted Menerima believe believed believed Percaya blush blushed blushed Malu carry carried carried Membawa care cared cared Peduli close closed Closed Menutup cook cooked cooked Memasak die died died Meninggal dance danced danced Menari develop developed developed Mengembangkan earn earned Earned keuntungan finish finished finished Menyelesaikan follow followed followed Mengikuti gather gathered gathered mengumpulkan interrupt interrupted interrupted Menyela jump jumped jumped Melompat join joined joined Ikut knock knocked knocked mengetuk love loved loved mencintai learn learned learned Belajar like liked liked Menyukai live lived lived Tinggal look looked looked Melihat miss missed missed Merindukan move moved moved Bergerak need needed needed butuh open opened opened Membuka pick picked picked Mengambil play played played Bermain receive received received menerima reach reach reach Sampai start started started Mulai stay stayed stayed Tinggal study studied studied Belajar talk talked talked Berbicara travel travelled travelled Bepergian type typed typed Menegtik touch touched touched Menyentuh use used used Menggunakan want wanted wanted Menginginkan watch watched watched Menonton wait waited waited Menunggu
