Pola dan rumus kalimat simple past tense

Ditambahkan dari buku English Grammar Itu Mudah, simple past tense adalah bentuk kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu peristiwa yang terjadi di masa lampau.

Keterangan waktu kejadian yang biasa digunakan dalam pola kalimat simple past tense, contohnya adalah yesterday, last week, a minute ago, in May, dan lainnya.

Simple past tense dibentuk dari kata kerja atau verb kedua atau linking verb, seperti was atau were.

Verb 2 merupakan bentuk dasar verb (bare infinitive) dengan tambahan -d, -ed, -ied, -en, -t, -n untuk jenis regular verb, atau bentuk tidak konsisten pada jenis irregular verb.

Contoh regular verb untuk past tense: love>loved, like>liked, enter>entered, call>called, marry>married, play>played, laugh>laughed.

Sementara contoh irregular verb: build>built, sing>sang, drink>drank, fly>flew, read>read, go>went, dan sebagainya.

Rumus simple past tense menggunakan kata kerja lampau yakni verb 2 atau to be bentuk lampau (was/were).

Khusus bentuk kalimat negatif dan interogatif menggunakan kata kerja V1 karena bentuk lampaunya sudah diwakili oleh kata did, sehingga verb-nya kembali ke bentuk awal yaitu V1.
