Rumus Tenses Bahasa Inggris
1. Rumus Present tense
Positif : S + V1 (s/es)
Negatif: S + DO/DOES + NOT + V1
Tanya : DO/DOES + S + V1
Contoh Kalimat

(-) You don’t study English at John’s plac everyday.
(?) Do you study English at John’s plac everyday?
Dalam bahasa Inggris Present Tense atau Simple Present Tense dipakai untuk menyatakan insiden atau kejadian, kegiatan, acara dan sebagainya yang terjadi ketika ini. Present Tense juga dipakai untuk menyatakan suatu Fakta, atau sesuatu yang tejadi berulang-ulang dimasa sekarang.
2. Rumus Past Tense
Positif : S + V2
Negatif: S + did not + V1
Tanya : Did + S + V1
Contoh kalimat :
(+) I launched this blog on august 2012
(-) I didn’t launch this blog on august 2012
(?) did you launch this blog on august 2012?
Inti dari Past Tense yaitu untuk menyatakan insiden yang telah “Lampau”, pokoknya sudah berlalu, sudah lewat. Itulah penekanannya. Mungkin kemarin, satu jam lalu, 2 tahun lalu, 2 kala yang lalu, dan sebagainya. Semua itu sudah “Past”. Setelah membaca uraian ini Anda niscaya paham lebih dalam.
3. Rumus Future tense
Positif : S + will + V1
Negatif: S + will + not + V1
Tanya : Will + S + V1
Contoh kalimat :
(+) You will eat
(-) you will not eat
(?) will you eat?
Future Tense atau Simple Future dipakai untuk menyatakan insiden yang Akan Terjadi. Future tense yaitu perihal Nanti. Sesuatu arti katanyaFuture yaitu “Masa Depan”. Karena itu dalam Future Tense penggunaan kata Will, Shall yang artinya akan pastilah mendominasi.
Setiap Future niscaya pakai WILL atau SHALL, artinya AKAN. Namun ada juga yang namanya Past Future Tense nanti. Karena Past maka Will dan Shall nya pakai past juga yaitu “Would”, nanti kita pelajari lebih dalam di Past Future Tense. Oh ya, sehabis Will atau Shall atau Would pasilah diikuti bentuk 1 baik itu kata kerja atau kata kerja bantu.
Shall jarang digunakan. Bisanya Shall untuk Subject I dan We (I shall…, We shall….) dan tidak untuk yang lain. Tetapi lebih sering orang pakai I will.. dan We will.. Kaprikornus untuk I dan We boleh pakai baik will atau shall. Sedangkan Subject yang lain menyerupai HE, SHE, IT, YOU, THEY, WE semuanya pakai Will.
4. Rumus Present contiuos tense
Positif : S + Tobe + Ving
Negatif: S + Tobe+ Not+ Ving
Tanya : Tobe + S + Ving
Contoh kalimat :
(+) you are reading my article at present
(-) you aren’t reading my article at present
(?) are you reading my article at present?
Present Continuous Tense dipakai untuk menyatakan, suatu yang sedang terjadi ketika ini, sedang berlangsung ketika ini. Misalnya: Saya sedang menulis sekarang, Present Continuous Tense ini dipakai kalau kita menekankan pada “Sekarang” nya itu.
5. Past continuous tense
Positif: S + was/were + Ving
Negatif: S + was/were + NOT + Ving
Tanya: Was/Were + S + Ving
Contoh kalimat
(+) I was sleeping when my friend come to my house yesterday
(-) I was not sleeping when my friend come to my house
(?) was you sleeping when my friend come to my house?
Past Continuous Tense dipakai untuk menyatakan insiden yang SEDANG TERJADI juga, tetapi sedang terjadi sekarang, melainkan sedang terjadi tetapi DULU, tetapi sudah lewat.
Seperti arti katanya, Past berarti “sudah lewat”, sedangkan Continuous artinya “sedang”.Jadi, Past Continuous Tense ini menyerupai rumusnya dengan Present Continuous Tense, bedanya di TOBE nya yang menjadi bentuk kedua. Ingat-ingat perubahan dan pasangan TO BE nya ya.
Tobe: is, am bermetamorfosis WAS
Tobe: are berubah menajdi WERE
I, She, He, It, John, Merry pasangannya yaitu WAS
We, They, John and Merry pasangannya yaitu WERE.
6. Rumus Future continuous tense
Rumus Future Continuous Tense
Positif: S + will + be + Ving
Negatif: S + will not + be + Ving
Tanya: Will + S + be + Ving
Contoh kalimat
(+) she will be learning music rock
(-) she will not be learning music rock
(?) will she be learning music rock?
Tense ini berbicara perihal suatu insiden yang “Sedang Terjadi” juga sebagaimana Present Continuous Tense, tetapi bedanya dalam Future Continuous Tense maka “Sedang” nya itu bukan kini melainkan besok, akan datang, nanti.
Tenses Bahasa Inggris yang mengandung kata “Continuous” maka selalu pakai kata kerjabentuk ING, Verb + Ing. Setiap kata kerja atau kata kerja bantu yang mengikuti WILL niscaya bentuk-1. Dan setiap ada to be, baik itu be itu sendiri atau am, is, are, was, were, been maka kata kerjanya niscaya pakai ING.
7. Present perfect tense
Positif : S + have/has + V3
Negatif: S + have/sas Not + V3
Tanya : Have/has + S + V3
Contoh Present Perfect Tense
(+) : She has gone (Dia gres saja pergi)
(-) : She has not gone
(?) : Has She gone?
Jika dalam Present Tense penekananya pada fakta, insiden berulang-ulang atau yang menjadi kebiasaan, dan Present Continuous Tense menekankan pada “sedang” terjadi, maka..
Present Perfect Tense menekankan pada PERFECT nya itu. Perfect kan artinya “sempurna”. Jadi, kalau Anda menekankan pada “SUDAH” nya itu maka gunakanlah Present Perfect Tense ini. Contoh yang paling mengena misalnya: Dia gres saja pergi (She has just gone).
8. Past perfect tense
Positif : S + had + V3
Negatif: S + had + not + V3
Tanya : Had + S + V3
Contoh kalimat :
(+) I had gone when he arrived at my home
(-) I hadn’t gone when he arrived
(?) had you gone when he arrived?
PRESENT Perfect Tense mengenai suatu insiden atau insiden yang selesai (sempurna, perfect) ketika ini, contohnya: She has just gone (Dia gres saja pergi). Disini Past Perfect Tense yaitu bentuk lampau (Past) dari Present Perfect Tense itu, makanya disebut Past Perfect Tense, sama-sama Perfectnya jadi Present Perfect Tense memakai rumus S + Have/has + V3 maka Past Perfect Tense memakai bentuk lampau dari Has/has yaitu “Had”.
Past Perfect Tense sering dipakai dengan memakai kalimat lain yang berbentuk lampau (Past Tense) yang dihubungan dengan kata sambung menyerupai When (ketika), After (setelah) untuk menekankan bahwa Perfectnya (Sudahnya) itu yaitu di masa lampau.
