Explain And Give The Examples About :

1. Simple present tense

Understanding Simple Present Tense

Simple Present Tense is a tense form used to describe something that is happening right now at a specific time. Because it happens at the present time, it must use the first verb (verb 1) in the order of the sentence.

Subject-Verb Agreement

Although the formulas look easy, many of the simple tense users are not careful with the subject-verb agreement on the sentences they use. Subject-verb agreement is the provision of installation of the subject and the verb that follows it. For a simple present tense sentence, subject-verb agreement to be followed is as follows:

Of course we do not want to make mistakes that should be very avoidable this. Therefore, subject-verb agreement must be carefully observed when using simple present tense.

Use of Simple Present Tense

We already know the meaning and simple present tense formula. To be able to use it appropriately, we must also be able to understand its use, which is as follows:

2. Simple Past Tense

Understanding Simple Past Tense

Simple Past tense is a tense form that describes an event that occurred at a specific time in the past. The verb used in this tense should be a second verb (verb 2). Similar to the simple present tense , this form is one of the most basic tense and is often used at the time of writing or conversation in English .

Simple Past Tense formula

This tense consists of a combination of simple aspects (at one specific time) and a past time frame (past).

Second Verb (Verb 2)

Basically, simple past tense has the same structure as simple present tense. The thing that distinguishes both is the time and the verb used. The verb form used in simple past tense should be a second verb form or a past verb, consisting of two types as follows:

Given there are many irregular verbs in English, simple past tense can be a little difficult to apply appropriately. Therefore, we must try to remember well the second irregular verb in English to produce the right simple tense sentence.

Adverb of time

In the simple past tense sentence, usually mentioned also a description of the time when an event occurred, as follows:

Use

We already know the meaning and formula of simple past tense. To be able to use and recognize it properly, we must also understand its use, which is as follows:

In general, the use of simple past tense is the same as using simple present tense. The only difference is that the action or related events have occurred in the past and do not happen again in the present. This should always be remembered when using this tense form!

3. Present Continuous Tense

Understanding the Present Continuous Tense

Present continuous tense is a tense form used to indicate that an action is taking place for a certain time at a present time. This form indicates that the action occurs before (begins before), during (is in progress at the present), and continues after (continued after) time or other action.

If we already understand the simple present tense , then it is not difficult to understand other aspects of this present time frame.

Example of sentences:

It is 16.00. They are discussing something right now.

Explanation:

They started discussing an hour ago. It's four o'clock and they're still discussing. This indicates that their discussion begins in the past (begins before), is still in progress at the present, and will probably continue until later.

Present Continuous Tense Formula

To form the present continuous tense sentence, we must apply the be + present participle (-ing) formula in the main verb.

Use

The present continuous tense form is specifically used for the following circumstances:

Given that the present continuous tense is not only used to indicate the current events but also the near future, the use of the time statement is very important to note. Generally, the following time information is used in the present continuous tense:

Simple Present vs Present Continuous

To make it easy to distinguish the use of simple tense and present continuous, note the following explanation:

Verbs Not Used in the Present Continuous Tense

Some verbs are not normally used in the present continuous tense sentence. This is because the verb denotes a situation or situation that we do not expect to change and does not describe action or action. This verb is better known as a static verb (stative verbs). Here's an example of a static verb:

Thus a brief explanation of the present continuous tense. If we can use this form appropriately and can distinguish it from a simple present tense form, the understanding of other tenses will be very easy to obtain because simple and continuous basic concepts on any time frame are actually the same.

4. Past Continuous Tense

Understanding Past Continuous Tense

Past continuous tense is a tense form used to indicate that an action is taking place for a certain time in the past. This form indicates that the action took place before, was in progress during, and may continue after (continued after) time or other actions that occurred in the past.

If we already understand the present continuous tense well, the understanding of the past continuous tense is not difficult to obtain.

Example of sentences:

She was sleeping when his parents arrived at 21.00.

Explanation:

He was sleeping when his parents arrived at 21:00. This means that he has slept before 21:00 (underwent before), still sleeping when his parents arrive at 21:00 (was in progress), and may still be sleeping after 21.00 (continued after). All of these sequences happen at some time in the past, which means they do not happen at the moment.

The Past Continuous Tense Formula

To form a sentence, we must apply the form of the past form of be + present participle (-ing) to the main verb.

Use

The past continuous tense form is specifically used for the following circumstances:

While, When, As Soon As

Given the sentence is not always stand alone and generally accompanied by a simple past sentence, it is important to know the use of while, when, and as soon as the time that is often found in the form of a past sentence continuous tense.

Thus, the form of the sentence is generally preceded by the description of the time while while in a complex sentence. However, when is also often followed by a continuous sentence, generally in everyday conversation.

Simple Past vs Past Continuous

To make it easier to distinguish the use of these two forms of tense, note the following explanation:

Similar to the continuous present form, static verbs (stative verbs) are generally not used in a continuous tense sentence because they can not describe an action. Therefore, we need to pay close attention to the use of verbs in the form of continuous in order to produce a sentence that is appropriate and in accordance with the provisions of good English grammar .

5. Present Perfect Tense

Definition of Present Perfect Tense

The present perfect tense is a tense that describes an event that occurred before a specific time in the past but still continues today. This tense consists of a combination of perfect aspects (before one specific time in the past) and present time frame .

In addition, this tense can also describe an event that begins and ends in the past but the effect is still felt today. In short, this tense is used as a link between the past and the present.

Present Perfect Tense Formula

Present perfect tense is formed with auxiliary verb have or has and past participle (verb 3). Have paired with subject I, You, We, and They while Has been used for He, She, and It subjects.

For and Since

In the present perfect tense sentence, the time description that is often used is for and since. The explanation is as follows:

Use

We already know the meaning and formula of present perfect tense. To be able to use and recognize it properly, we must also understand its use, which is as follows:

Keep in mind that present perfect tense is used in events that connect past (past) and present (present). If we can remember this, the present perfect tense is an easy thing to understand.

6. Present Perfect Continuous Tense

Present perfect continuous tense is a sentence form in the present tense group used to describe events or actions that have been done and completed in the past, or that events have begun in the past and lasted until the present. This action or event has an impact or relationship with the events in the present. And, this action or event has a certain time span when done in the past. Although this tense is used to express events in the past, this form of sentence can not be categorized in past tense. This is because in the sense of present perfect continuous tense the events described here are actions that are being done in the past, not a condition or statement of something in the past, as in past tense.

Example Sentence Present Perfect Continuous Tense

To more easily understand about this tense, here are some examples of present perfect perfect sentence tense. The first is an example sentence based on its function:

• Basic functions

  (Bob was writing a letter to his sister for 1 hour)

  I feels really hungry since I have been fasting for the whole day
  (I feeling hungry because I fast all day)

Past Perfect and Simple Past

When two events occurred in the past:
