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 “Daniel (practice)…a guitar when Ratna (come)” bermakna “Daniel (berlatih) gitar ketika Ratna (datang).”
Dilihat dari konteksnya, latar belakang dari dua kejadian di atas adalah klausa “Daniel (practice)…a guitar” dan kejadian yang menginterupsinya adalah klausa “Ratna (come).”
Sehingga, berdasarkan penjelasan dan rumus, kalimat “Daniel (practice)…a guitar” harus menggunakan pola kalimat Past Continuous Tense dan kalimat “Ratna (come).” menggunakan pola kalimat Simple Past Tense.
Subjek kalimat di atas adalah ‘Daniel’ yang dapat digantikan oleh ‘He’. maka to be yang digunakan adalah was. V2 dari ‘come’ adalah ‘came’. Sehingga, kalimat lengkapnya menjadi “Daniel was practicing a guitar when Ratna came.”
Jadi, jawabannya adalah “was practicing; came”.
Hope it helps. happy learning! 🙂
