Jawabannya adalah “was listening; finished.”
Soal menanyakan bentuk kata kerja yang tepat untuk melengkapi rumpang pada kalimat menggunakan Past Tense atau Past Continuous Tense.
Ketika digunakan secara bersamaan, Past Continuous menggambarkan tindakan yang lebih lama atau memerlukan waktu lebih panjang/proses, dan merupakan ‘latar belakang’ dari suatu kejadian/peristiwa, sementara Past Simple menggambarkan kejadian/peristiwanya dan sifatnya menginterupsi kejadian yang sedang berlangsung (Past Continuous).
Rumus dari Past Continuous Tense adalah S + to be (was/were) + V-ing + O/C
Rumus dari Simple Past Tense adalah S + V2 + O/C.
To be ‘was’ digunakan untuk subjek I, she, he, dan it.
To be ‘were’ digunakan untuk subjek you, we, dan they.
Kalimat “While my sister (listen)…music, I (finish)…the chores.” bermakna “Ketika saudara perempuanku (mendengarkan) musik, aku (selesai) mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah.”
Dilihat dari konteksnya, latar belakang dari dua kejadian di atas adalah klausa “My mother (cook) in the kitchen” dan kejadian yang menginterupsinya adalah klausa “When the bell (ring).”
Terdapat kata penghubung ‘while’ pada kalimat soal. Kata penghubung ‘while’ umumnya digunakan untuk kalimat Past Continuous Tense.
Sehingga, berdasarkan penjelasan dan rumus, kalimat “While my sister (listen)…music” harus menggunakan pola kalimat Past Continuous Tense dan kalimat ” I (finish)…the chores.” menggunakan pola kalimat Simple Past Tense.
Subjek kalimat di atas adalah ‘my sister’ yang dapat digantikan oleh ‘she’. maka to be yang digunakan adalah was. V2 dari ‘finish’ adalah ‘finished’. Sehingga, kalimat lengkapnya menjadi “While my sister was listening to music, I finished the chores.”
Notes: kata kerja ‘listen’ sebaiknya digunakan bersama dengan kata depan ‘to’
Jadi, jawabannya adalah “was listening; finished.”
Hope it helps. happy learning! 🙂
