Metode ini aku dapatkan dari Ms. Nidya, dosenku (facilitator in my Pre-Departure Training) . Menurut dia, cara ini sudah terbukti ampuh dalam membantu banyak orang yang sedang belajar grammar tidak peduli tua atau muda. Terima kasih banyak untuk Ms. Nidya atas sharing ilmunya. Langsung aja deh kita bahas tenses yang sering bikin pusing itu (12 tenses yang sering dipakai).
Caranya adalah kita buat matriks seperti tabel di bawah ini.
Past
|
Present
|
Future
| |
| Simple | Past | Present | Future |
| Continuous | Past Continuous | Present Continuous | Future Continuous |
| Perfect | Past Perfect | Present Perfect | Future Perfect |
| Perfect Continuous |
Past Perfect Continuous

Present Perfect Continuous

Future Perfect Continuous

Past

| Simple | She sang a song | She sings a song | She will sing a song |
| Continuous | She was singing | She is singing | She will be singing |
| Perfect | She had sung | She has sung | She will have sung |
| Perfect
Continuous | She had been singing |
She has been singing
|
She will have been singing
|
1) All Simple use Verb 1 / Verb 2
2) All Future use will
3) All Continuous use to be
4) All Perfect use had/has/have + Verb 3
5) All Perfect Continuous use had/has/have + been + Verb-ing
Simplifying Tenses
The difference between one activity and two activities:
1) One activity --> "Simple"
2) Two activities :
(a) At the same time --> "Continuous" vs "Simple"
(Here, the longer action is "Continuous") e.g. : I was watching television when she knocked my door last night.
(b) At sequence --> "Perfect" vs "Simple"
(Here, the longer action is "Perfect")
e.g. :
- I will have finished my report when my boss arrives tomorrow.
- She had studied Japanese language before she went to Tokyo in 2008.
Good luck!
Hopefully you will not be confused anymore on Grammar.
