SIMPLE PAST VS PRESENT PERFECT TENSE | Chapter 6
Hi guys, today is a hard day. But life must go on. I prefer the offline school of coarsely than online like this. But okay, once more, life must go on. Keep our spirit up!
This post will tell us about the simple past vs present perfect tense. What's that?
This is the concept map about the matter that we will learn now.
Do you still remember what is verb 2, guys? Because at this lesson we will recall our knowledge about the verb 2 to use it in the simple past and present perfect tense. The examples of verb 2 are these:
a) Regular verbs
Verb 1 Verb 2
Accept Accepted
Approve Approved
Cry Cried
Jog Jogged
b) Irregular verbs
Begin Began
Cost Cost
Have Had
Sing Sang
Be Was / Were
And we need the Adverb of time that is usually used in the Past Tense like :
a) Just now
b) Yesterday
c) Last ... ( ex. Last week, last month, last year, etc
d) ... ago ( ex. A week ago, a month ago, a year ago, etc)
We use Simple Past Tense to talk:
a) An action that began and ended at a particular time in the past.
example: She cooked fried rice yesterday evening.
b) An action that occurred over a period of time but was completed in the past.
ex: She taught English for ten years. ( She doesn’t teach English at present )
c) An activity that took place regularly in the past.
ex: When I was ten years old, I took an English course there.
The sentence patterns are:
A. Using auxiliary “did”
a) Positive
Subject + Verb-2 + Complement
e.g. The teacher began the meeting an hour ago
She wanted to go the beach last week
b) Negative
Subject + Didn’t + Verb-1 + Complement
e.g. She didn’t join the class this morning
He didn’t want to study match yesterday.
c) Interrogative
Did all the students do the assignment yesterday?
Did you go to Jakarta yesterday?
B. Using to be “was and were”
a) Positive
Subject + was/were + non verb
e.g. She was angry yesterday
My parents were able to come here?
b) Negative
Subject + was / were + not + non-Verb
e.g. He was not happy because you were late
The bed was not comfortable for me.
c) Interrogative
was / were + not + Subject + non-Verb
e.g Was the girl lazy so she went to bed early?
Was your mother at home when your father called?
We use Present Perfect Tense to talk about:
a) An action that happened at an unspecified time
e.g. Mother has never met her beloved father.
I have bought a new motorcycle.
b) An action that has recently occurred
e.g. She has just been to Bali
My sister has started to do her homework.
c) An action that began in the past and continues up to the present
e.g. I have live in Bandung for fifteen years.
She has been to Singapore
d) An action that happened repeatedly before now
e.g. She has always phoned me at 8 pm.
I have read that book for several times.
The sentence patterns are:
a) Positive
Subject + has / have + Verb-3 + Complement
e.g. She has finished her test before.
The students have finished their examination
b) Negative
Subject + hasn’t / haven’t + Verb-3 + Complement
e.g. They haven’t come here yet
I haven't visited my parents to see their condition
c) Interrogative
Has / Have + Subject + Verb-3 + Complement
e.g Has the plane taken off when you come?
Have you cleaned your room?
I will tell the matter with an explanation video, check it out!
Sooo, that's all about simple past vs present perfect tense matter. I hope it will work for us to make a sentence with the right patterns. I wanna say thank you for giving your attention here and let us say goodbye!✋💖
