 CHAPTER II THEORETICAL STUDY

A. Definition, Formula And Example Of 16 Tenses

1. Simple Present Tense

The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when
an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why
it‟s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is
formed by using the root form or by adding ?s or ?es to the end.

Formula and Examples

 (+) Subject + verb 1 (+ s/es) + object / Subject + to be (am/is/are) + adjective/adverb

(+) I use social media / She likes eating out / She is very polite and kind
 (-) Subject + do/does not + verb 1 + … / Subject + to be (am/is/are) + not +
adjective/adverb
(-) They do not use social media / She is not very polite and kind
 (?) Do/does + subject + verb 1 + object? / To be (am/is/are) + subject +
adjective/adverb?
(?) Does he use social media? / Is she polite and kind?

2. Present Continuous Tense

The present continuous tense is used for actions happening now or for an action that is
unfinished. This tense is also used when the action is temporary.

Formula & Example :

 (+) Subject + be (am/is/are) + verb (-ing) + …

(+) She is sleeping right now / We are studying today
 (-) Subject +be (am/is/are) + not + verb (-ing) + …
(-) She is not sleeping right now / We are not studying today
 (?) Be (am/is/are) + subject + verb (-ing) + …?
(?) Is she sleeping right now? / Are we studying today?

3. Present Perfect Tense

The present perfect tense is a verb tense used to express actions that occurred at a non-specific
time. The present perfect tense is also used to express actions that started in the past but
continue to the present.

Formula & Example :

 (+) I/You/We/They + have + verb 3 / He/She/It + has + verb 3

They have lived in Jakarta for a long time / He has learned English for one year
 (-) I/You/We/They + have + not + verb 3 / He/She/It + has + not + verb 3
They have not lived in Jakarta for a long time / He has not learned English for one
year

2
  (?)Have + I/You/We/They + verb 3? /Has + He/She/It + verb 3?
Have they lived in Jakarta for a long time? / Has he learned English for one year?

4. Present Perfect Continuous Tense

The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense)
shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time. The present
perfect continuous is formed using the construction has/have been + the present participle
(root + -ing).

Formula & Example :

 (+) Subject + has / have + been + verb-ing

They have been working together since senior high school. / She has been working at
that company for three years.
 (-) Subject + has / have + not + been + verb-ing
It has not been raining for three days / I have not been living in America since 2003.
 (?) Has/have + subject + been + verb-ing?
Have you been eating this egg for an hour? / Has he been playing cricket for two
hours?

5. Simple Past Tense

Simple past tense verbs—also called past simple or preterit—show action that occurred and
was completed at a particular time in the past. The simple past tense of regular verbs is
marked by the ending -d or -ed. Irregular verbs have a variety of endings. The simple past is
not accompanied by helping verbs. “The simple past tense is often used with an adverbial
phrase that specifies a time in the past, such as yesterday, last year, (or) an hour ago,”
according to “Complete English Grammar Rules.”

Formula & Example :

 (+) Subject + verb 2 + object Subject + to be (was/were) + adjective/adverb

We attended the festival last week / She was absent yesterday.
 (-) Subject + did not + infinitive verb + object Subject + was/were + not +
adjective/adverb
We did not attend the festival last week / She was not absent yesterday.
 (?) Did + subject + infinitive verb + object?/ Was/were + subject + adjective/adverb?
Did they attend the festival last week? / Was she absent yesterday?

6. Past Continuous Tense

The past continuous tense, also known as the past progressive tense, refers to a continuing
action or state that was happening at some point in the past. The past continuous tense is
formed by combining the past tense of to be (i.e., was/were) with the verb‟s present participle
(ing word).

Formula & Example :

 (+) Subject + be (was/were) + verb (-ing) + …<

She was waiting for you yesterday / They were discussing my birthday party.
 (-) Subject +be (was/were) + not + verb (-ing) + …
She was not waiting for you yesterday / They were not discussing my birthday party.
 (?) Be (was/were) + subject + verb (-ing) + …?
Was she waiting for you yesterday? / Were they discussing my birthday party?

7. Past Perfect Tense

The past perfect tense is a verb tense used to express actions that occurred in the past that
finished before another action in the past started.

Formula & Example :

 (+) Subject + had + verb 3

They had studied.
 (-) Subject + had + not + verb 3
They had not studied.
 (?) Had+ subject + verb 3?
Had they studied?

8. Past Perfect Continuous Tense

The past perfect continuous tense (also known as the past perfect progressive tense) shows
that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past. The past
perfect continuous tense is constructed using had been + the verb‟s present participle (root + -
ing).

Formula & Example :

 (+) Subject + had + been + verb-ing + object

He had been living in Jakarta about ten years.
 (-) Subject + had + not + been + verb-ing + object
He had not been living in Jakarta about ten years.
 (?) Had + subject + been + object ?
Had He been living in Jakarta about ten years?

9. Simple Future Tense

In English grammar, the simple future is a form of the verb that refers to an action or event
that has not yet begun. As illustrated below (in Examples and Observations), the simple future
is also used to make a prediction or to show ability, intention, or determination. Also called
the future simple.

10. Future Continuous Tense

The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a
verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected
length of time. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root
verb + -ing).

Formula & Example :
