1CDalam simple past tense bentuk positif, kata kerja yang digunakan adalah kata kerja bentuk kedua. Bentuk kedua dari buy adalah bought (irregular verb).

2CDalam simple past tense bentuk negative, kata kerja utama yang digunakan adalah verb1 (bare infinitive). Didnt adalah singkatan dari did not, jadi penggunaannya tergantung dengan selera.

3AMenyambung denga penjelasan soal nomor 2, kata kerja bantu yang digunakan adalah bentuk verb2 (was atau were). Sedangkan penggunaan was/were tergantung dengan subjeknya, perhatikan tabel pada bagian bawah artikel ini.

4BSeperti halnya bentuk negatif, dalam bentuk interogatif kata kerja utama yang digunakan menggunakan verb1 (bare infinitive).

5AIni adalah bentuk interogatif, kata kerja bantu yang digunakan adalah bentuk kedua (verb2) {dalam hal ini was atau were}. Subjek They menggunakan were.

6BDalam bentuk negative interogatif, penggunaan did not di depan harus disingkat menjadi didnt. jika tidak disingkat maka menjadi did + subjek + not. Sedangkan kata kerja utama menggunakan verb1 (bare infinitive).

7BMelanjutkan penjelasan dari soal nomor 6, dalam negatif interogatif kata kerja bantu menggunakan verb2, dalam hal ini was atau were. Subjek she menggunakan was. Was not disingkat menjadi wasnt. jika tidak disingkat maka was + subjek + not.

8CKarena harus diubah menjadi simple past tense, dan karena ada kata kerja utama (bentuk positif) maka kata kerja utama menggunakan verb2, dan tidak menggunakan was/were.

9ABentuk positif, dan tidak ada kata kerja utama maka menggunakan was/were. Subject economics terdapat tambahan s bukan berarti jamak tapi Uncountable (benda yang tidak bisa dihitung) maka menggunakan was.

10CRumus yang digunakan untuk kalimat interogatif adalah Did + S + Verb1 {bare infinitive}, walau do buka merupakan kata kerja utama namun tetap menggunakan verb1 (bare infinitive).

NoJawabanPenjelasan

1CSubjek they (jamak) menggunakan have, penggunaan have/has tergantung dengan subjeknya,lihatlah tabel pada bagian bawah postingan ini. Sedangkan verb3 dari visit adalah visited.

2BSubjek Budi menggunakan has

3BDari pilihan yang ada, karena yang digunakan adalah have, maka subjek harus jamak.

4AKarena tidak ada kata kerja utama maka menggunakan kata kerja bantu to be. Verb3 dari to be adalah been.

5BUntuk present perfect tense harus menggunakan verb3, made adalah verb3 dari make. Meant artinya berarti/bermaksud.

6AKarena ada kata kerja utama maka gunakan saja rumus present perfect tense seperti biasanya, painted adalah verb3 dari paint. Dalam tense ini am dan to tidak bisa digunakan untuk menyabung antara subjek dan verb, maka dibuang saja.

7CUntuk subjek she gunakan has. Will mengisyaratkan penggunaan future tense maka Will di buang saja

8AUntuk subjek economics (noun) gunakan has. economics terdapat tambahan s diakhir bukan berarti jamak, karena semua nama mata pelajaran pasti terdapat akhiran s diakhir kata. Karena tidak ada kata kerja utama maka menggunakan been, seperti soal no. 4

9CSubjek we menggunakan have. Verb3 dari buy adalah bought

10BThey menggunakan have, verb3 dari study adalah studied. right now kita buang karena mengisyaratkan present continuous tense , sedangkan kita harus mengubah menjadi present perfect tense.

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process.Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT....a. precious metalsb. broken glassc. old newspapersd. plastic spoonse. fresh vegetables and fruits2.Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?a.

Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again.4.We can make use of the ink after being separated from the paper fibres by doing the followings,EXCEPT....a. Skim it off.b. Dry it.c. Reuse as ink.d. Burn as boiler fuel.e. Mix it with the pulp.

Text 2: ExplanationAll planes need air to presure under their wings to stay up in the air. As they move forward. The higher air pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift.The smooth, streamlined shape of the plane allows the air to flows easily over its surface. This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the air.Planes move forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward keeps a stream of moving air passing over the wings. If the engines fail, theplanes will begin to descend very quickly.The air above the wing moves faster, so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing.The air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed, so it is at a higher pressure than the air above the wing.

Jawaban dan PembahasanBerikut adalah jawaban dan pembahasan untuk contoh soalsimple future tensediatas.

NoJawabanPenjelasan

1CKata kerja yang digunakan adalah verb1 (bare infinitive), untuk verb + ing tidak berlaku padasimple future tense.

2APada dasarnya kalian dapat menggunakan dua rumus berikut S + Will + Verb 1 (bare infinitive)atauS + is/am/are + Going to + Verb1 (bare infinitive).

3AUntuk mengubah menjadi kalimat negative, kalian dapat menggunakan rumus berikut S + Will + Not + Verb 1 (bare infinitive)atauS + is/am/are + Not + Going to + Verb1 (bare infinitive). Jadi kata did harus kita ubah menjadi do (verb1-bare infinitive), dan kata not diletakkan setelah kata will.

4BUntuk mengubah menjadi kalimat bentuk interogatif, kalian dapat menggunakan rumus berikut Will + S + Verb 1 (bare infinitive)atauIs/am/are + S + Going to + Verb1 (bare infinitive).

5BUntuk merubah menjadi kalimat bentuk negative interogatif gunakan rumus berikut Will + S + Not + Verb 1 (bare infinitive)atauIs/am/are + S + Not + Going to + Verb1 (bare infinitive). Penggunaan is/am/are tergantung dengan subjeknya, perhatikan tabel pada bagian bawah (berlaku untuk semua bentuk kalimat).

6CSeperti yang telah saya jelaskan pada penjelasan soal sebelumnya, kalian dapat menggunakan rumus berikut S + Will + Verb 1 (bare infinitive)atauS + is/am/are + Going to + Verb1 (bare infinitive). Subjek Tria menggunakan is.

7BRumus yang bisa kalian gunakan S + Will + Not + Verb 1 (bare infinitive)atauS + is/am/are + Not + Going to + Verb1 (bare infinitive). Subjek mereka=they menggunakan are, dan peletakan kata not setelah kata will.

8CIni merupakan simple future tense bentuk negative interogatif, rumus yang bisa digunakan S + Will + Not + Verb 1 (bare infinitive)atauS + is/am/are + Not + Going to + Verb1 (bare infinitive). Kata kerja menggunakan verb1, jadi bukan menggunakan eaten namun menggunakan eat.

9AMy friends and I adalah subjek yang menggunakan are karena jamak.

10AKata kerja yang digunakan adalah verb1 jadi menggunakan come, bukan came. Subjek I menggunakan am, bukan is atau are.
