Penjelasan

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

Dalam 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.

Menyambung 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.

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

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

Dalam 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).

Melanjutkan 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.

Karena 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.

Bentuk 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.

1
0

Rumus yang digunakan untuk kalimat interogatif adalah Did + S + Verb1

{bare infinitive}, walau do buka merupakan kata kerja utama namun tetap
menggunakan verb1 (bare infinitive).

Dalam penjelasan diatas telah saya sebutkan bahwa penggunaan was/were tegantung dengan
subjeknya, perhatikan tabel di bawah ini :
