Review: Present Tenses
Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:
- Memilih Present Simple atau Present Continuous sesuai konteks dengan tepat.
- Mengenali penanda waktu dan jebakan stative verbs di kedua tense.
🔁 Ingat lagi: modul ini menggabungkan to be (am/is/are, Modul 7) sebagai dasar Present Continuous, penanda frekuensi usually / always / every day (Modul 4), dan kosakata kerja manager / colleague / report (Modul 3-4). Semua muncul lagi di dialog & latihan di bawah.
Ringkasan Modul
Modul ini membahas dua tense masa kini yang paling sering dipakai dan cara memilih di antara keduanya. Berikut rekap tiap lesson:
- Present Simple: bentuk: subject + verb dasar; tambahkan -s/-es untuk he/she/it. Negatif dan tanya pakai do/does + verb dasar (jangan dobel -s). Fungsi: kebiasaan, rutinitas, fakta umum, dan jadwal tetap. Penanda: every day, usually, always, never, on Mondays, twice a week.
- Present Continuous: bentuk: am/is/are + verb-ing. Ingat ejaan -ing: buang -e (make → making), gandakan konsonan (run → running). Fungsi: aksi sekarang, di sekitar sekarang, situasi sementara, dan rencana pasti. Penanda: now, right now, at the moment, currently, today, these days.
- Present Simple vs Present Continuous: pilih Simple untuk yang permanen/rutin/selalu benar, dan Continuous untuk yang sedang berlangsung atau sementara. Bandingkan: "I work in Surabaya" (permanen) vs "I am working in Surabaya" (sementara). Stative verbs (know, want, like, need) hampir selalu Present Simple.
