Present Simple for Routines

Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:

Menyusun kalimat present simple untuk menggambarkan rutinitas kerja.
Menambahkan -s/-es pada kata kerja untuk subjek he/she/it.
Membuat kalimat negatif dengan don't dan doesn't.

🔁 Ingat lagi: dari Modul 2: "What time is it?" (Jam berapa?), half past (lewat tiga puluh / setengah); dari Modul 3: colleague (rekan kerja). Kita pakai lagi di lesson ini saat menyebut jam mulai/selesai dan bercerita tentang rekan kerja.

Penjelasan (ID)

Present simple dipakai untuk menceritakan kebiasaan dan rutinitas: hal yang kita lakukan secara berulang setiap hari atau setiap minggu di tempat kerja.

Bentuk dasarnya sangat sederhana:

Subjek	Kata kerja	Contoh
I / You / We / They	bentuk dasar	I start work at 9.
He / She / It	+ -s / -es	She starts work at 9.

Untuk subjek he, she, it (orang ketiga tunggal), tambahkan -s pada kata kerja:

work → works, start → starts
Tambahkan -es jika kata kerja berakhiran -ch, -sh, -ss, -x, -o: check → checks, finish → finishes, go → goes.
Jika kata kerja berakhiran konsonan + y, ubah -y menjadi -ies: reply → replies, study → studies. Tetapi jika sebelum -y ada huruf vokal, cukup tambah -s: stay → stays.
Tiga kata kerja tidak beraturan yang sering muncul di kantor: have → has, do → does, go → goes.

💡 Tip: Hanya he/she/it yang memakai -s. Untuk I, you, we, they kata kerjanya tetap bentuk dasar.

Catatan register (formal vs santai)

Present simple terdengar netral: cocok untuk email kerja, perkenalan, maupun obrolan santai. Yang berubah biasanya kata sekitarnya, bukan grammar-nya:

Santai: "I grab a coffee, then I start."
Lebih formal (mis. ke atasan): "I begin the day by reviewing my emails."

Dalam email kerja, present simple sering dipakai untuk menyatakan kebijakan atau fakta tetap: "Our office closes at 5 p.m.", "The team meets every Monday."

💡 Tip: Untuk subjek gabungan seperti "My colleague and I", perlakukan sebagai we (jamak) → tanpa -s: "My colleague and I work in the same team."

Kalimat negatif

Gunakan don't (do not) dan doesn't (does not) + kata kerja bentuk dasar:

Subjek	Negatif	Contoh
I / You / We / They	don't + verb	I don't work on Sundays.
He / She / It	doesn't + verb	He doesn't check emails at night.

Hati-hati: Setelah doesn't, kata kerja tidak memakai -s lagi. ✅ She doesn't start. ❌ She doesn't starts.

Examples (English)

"I start work at 9 a.m. and finish at 5 p.m."

"She checks emails every morning before the team meeting."

"We don't work on weekends, so the office closes on Friday evening."

"He doesn't reply to messages after 6 p.m."

"My colleague works from home, and we have a video call at half past nine." (daur ulang: colleague, half past)

"What time do you finish on Fridays?": "I usually leave at four."

Kosakata

English	Arti (ID)	Contoh

Dialogue

Talking about a daily routine

Tom

What time do you start work?

Rina

I start at 9 and check my emails first.

Tom

Does your colleague work from the office?

Rina

No, she doesn't. She works from home and joins online meetings.

Tom

I see. We finish at 5, right?

Rina

Yes, we don't work after 5.

Kesalahan Umum

❌ "She check emails every morning." → ✅ "She checks emails every morning." (untuk he/she/it wajib tambah -s; Bahasa Indonesia tak punya perubahan ini, jadi mudah lupa)
❌ "He doesn't checks his email." → ✅ "He doesn't check his email." (setelah doesn't, kata kerja kembali ke bentuk dasar: tanpa -s)
❌ "I am work at nine." → ✅ "I work at nine." (jangan campur am/is/are dengan kata kerja biasa; "saya bekerja" ≠ "I am work")
❌ "My colleague and I works together." → ✅ "My colleague and I work together." (dua subjek = jamak seperti we → tanpa -s)
