Brief Explanation of The Materials For Semester 1
The past tense is a verb tense expressing action, activity, state or being in the past of the
current moment (in an absolute tense system), or prior to some other event, whether that is
past, present, or future (in a relative tense system).
Simple past is formed for regular verbs by adding –ed to the root of a word. Example: He
walked to the store. A negation is produced by adding did not and the verb in its infinitive
form. Example: He did not walk to the store. Question sentences are started with did as in
Did he walk to the store?
Simple past is used for describing acts that have already been concluded and whose exact
time of occurrence is known. Furthermore, simple past is used for retelling successive events.
That is why it is commonly used in storytelling.
Past progressive is formed by using the adequate form of to be and the verb’s present
participle: He was going to church. By inserting not before the main verb a negation is
achieved. Example: He was not going to church. A question is formed by prefixing the
adequate form of to be as in Was he going?.
Past progressive is used for describing events that were in the process of occurring when a
new event happened. The already occurring event is presented in past progressive, the new
one in simple past. Example: We were sitting in the garden when the thunderstorm started.
Use is similar to other languages' imperfect tense.
Present perfect simple is formed by combining have/has with the main verb’s past participle
form: I have arrived. A negation is produced by inserting not after have/has: I have not
arrived. Questions in present perfect are formulated by starting a sentence with have/has:
Has she arrived?
Present perfect simple is used for describing a past action’s effect on the present: He has
arrived. Now he is here. This holds true for events that have just been secluded as well as for
events that have not yet occurred.
Present perfect progressive is formed by prefixing have/has before the grammatical particle
been and the verb’s present participle form: We have been waiting. A negation is expressed
by including not between have/has and been: They have not been eating. As with present
perfect simple, for forming a question, have/has is put at the beginning of a sentence: Have
they been eating?
Present perfect progressive is used for describing an event that has been going on until the
present and may be continued in the future. It also puts emphasis on how an event has
occurred. Very often since and for mark the use of present perfect progressive: I have been
waiting for five hours / I have been waiting since three o’clock.
Furthermore, there is another version of past tense possible: past perfect, similar to other
languages' pluperfect tense.
Past perfect simple is formed by combining the simple past form of to have with the simple
past form of the main verb: We had shouted. A negation is achieved by including not after
had: You had not spoken. Questions in past perfect always start with had: Had he laughed?
Past perfect simple is used for describing secluded events that have occurred before
something else followed. The event that is closer to the present is given in simple past tense:
After we had visited our relatives in New York, we flew back to Toronto.
Past perfect progressive is formed by had, the grammatical particle been and the present
participle of the main verb: You had been waiting. For negation, not is included before been:
I had not been waiting. A question sentence is formed by starting with had: Had she been
waiting?
If emphasis is put on the duration of a concluded action of the past, since and for are signal
words for past perfect progressive: We had been waiting at the airport since the 9 P.M. flight.
/ They had been waiting for three hours now.

old, his mother sent Jack to sell it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who
had some beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher told the boy that the beans were of
great value and persuaded the silly lad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother became
so angry that she threw the beans out of the window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a part of his room,
but all the rest was quite dark and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close
past Jack’s window. He opened the window and jumped onto the beanstalk which ran
up just like a big ladder.
He climbed…and climbed till at last he reach the sky. While looking around, he saw
a very huge castle. He was very amazed.

An Unlucky Day
One morning, I got up with the feeling that the day was going to be an unlucky one for
me. How right it was! Found that it was already 06:15 a.m..
I rushed into the bathroom. I did not see a piece of soap lying on the floor as I stepped
on it and slipped, almost breaking my back in the process.
Then, I went into the dining room for my breakfast. I gulped down the tea without
realizing that it was very hot. It burnt my tongue. I spat it out and could not eat anything
because my tongue hurt. I got dressed and rushed to the bus stop.
Unfortunately, I just missed the bus. My heart sank and I knew that I would be late for
school.
When I reached school. My name was taken down by the teacher. The teacher scolded
me for being late. To my humiliation, I was made to stand outside the class. I was so upset
by the incidents that I could not study properly. But worse was to come.
After school, I was on my way home when something hard hit me on the head.
Someone hand thrown a bag of fish bones out of the window and it landed on me! I was
boiling with rage but could do nothing. However, luckily for me, this only raised a small
lump on my head.
I managed to reach home safe and sound, and did not dare to go out again for the
rest of the day.

Once upon a time there lived a couple in a village. They had got married for a long time, but so far
they did not have a baby yet. Every single minute they prayed to God, begged for a baby, but it never
came true.
One day, they went to snow mountain. They made a girl from snow and they dressed her beautifully.
When it got dark, they decided to go home and left the snow girl alone. The following morning,
someone knocked the door. "Any body home?” she said. The old woman inside opened the door and
asked, "Who are you?" The girl said "I'm Snow Maiden, your daughter". The old woman was surprised
and happy, "Oh, really? Thanks God! Come in, please!" Since that meeting, they lived happily.
Snow Maiden was beautiful, kind, diligent and helpful. Her parents and all of her friends loved her very
much. One day, Snow Maiden played with her friends. They played fire. At first, Snow Maiden just
looked at their play. Suddenly, her friends asked her to jump on the fire. Of course she refused it
because one thing that made her afraid was the fire. It's because Snow Maiden was made of snow,
so she should avoid the fire. But her friends kept on forcing her to jump on. Finally, she could not do
anything then she did it. She jumped on the fire and she melted. Her friends were so sorry about this,
they cried and cried hoping Snow Maiden could live again, but it was useless. Snow Maiden would not
be back anymore. Her mother tried to entertain Snow Maiden's friends and asked them to make a
new Snow Maiden. They went to a snow mountain and started making it. They expected to have the
new Snow Maiden. Days passed but their dreams never came true.
Poor them!
Coda: it is the change of one of the character or two, or the meaning of the story that can be
caught as a moral value of life.
Example: The story of Cinderella, Snow White, Snow Maiden, The Little Pear Girl, The Ugly
Duckling, etc.
News Item: is factual text which informs the readers about events of the day which are
considered newsworthy or important.
Social function of news item is: to inform readers, listeners or viewers about events of the
day which are considered newsworthy or important.
Generic structure:
Focus on Circumstances
There are some rules that can help to make newspaper headlines more comprehensible.
1. The passive voice is used without the appropriate form of “be”.
2. It is unusual to find complex forms, generally the simple present form is used
Complete Sentence: Fire has destroyed over 2,511 acres of forest in 2003-2004.
3. The present progressive tense is used, usually to describe something that is
changing or developing, but the auxiliary verb is usually left out.
Newsworthy event In just three years, Korean pop star Rain Has built a huge domestic following
of (mostly) female fans with a string of chart-topping singles, and now he’s
ready to branch out overseas.
Rain picked up MTV Asia prizes this year, played his first solo concert in
Japan in July and has lined up sold-out gigs in Hong Kong and Tokyo. But the
engine of Korean pop-culture dominance in Asia is the soap opera, which is
why Rain is forecast for TV this fall. The decidedly boyish singer will play a
macho K-1 fighter who falls for his brother’s lover in a series tentatively titled
A Loved to Kill. Though the show is set to air first in Korea this October, the
astounding popularity of Korean TV dramas around the region means that the
pop star could soon become a familiar face throughout Asia.
But why stop there? Rain’s managers believe he could be the first Korean star
to break into the U.S. market. Park Jin Young, the pop impresario who
discovered and trained Rain, is a talented dancer and songwriter who has
worked with U.S. artists like Mase and Will Smith. Since setting up camp in
Los Angeles last year, Park has been shopping his protégé around to U.S.
Background events production companies. Rain almost managed to score a track on rapper Lil’
Kim’s latest album–but the plan fell apart after Kim was convicted of perjury
and had to start serving a jail term, according to Jimmy Jeong, an executive at
Rain’s management company.
Sources Just a minor setback, says Jeong: “We’re targeting the global market. Rain’s
too big for Asia.”
Passive Voice
OB on RCTI
2. Simple Active wrote a letter yesterday.
past
Rita
passive was by Rita yesterday.
written
A letter
3. Simple Active will rent a villa for holiday.
Future
My family
passive will be by my for holiday.
rent family
A villa
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)
Agent
In a passive clause, we usually use a phrase beginning with by if we want to mention the agent - the
person or thing that does the action, or that causes what happens.
Examples:
My mother makes sandwich every morning.
Subject verb1+s/es O C (adv. of time)
1. Make its indirect object into the subject of the passive sentence.
2. Make its direct object into the subject of the passive sentence.
Examples: John is giving his girl-friend a bunch of flower.
The indirect object as John’s girl-friend is being given a bunch of flower.
the subject
Passive:
In this pattern, it has no meaning. It is used only to fill the subject position in the sentence.
Thus, it is called introductory “it”.
A and B mean the same thing, but sentence B is more common and useful than A. A was
introduce mainly to make the meaning of C easier to understand.
Introductory “it” can fill the position both of the subject and object.
Introductory “it” as a subject:
To watch musical programs is pleasant.
IT IS PLEASANT TO WATCH MUSICAL PROGRAM.
To play football must be fun.
IT IS FUN TO PLAY FOOTBALL.
My Pets
The dog’s name is Benjamin. He is big golden Labrador. He is
beautiful. He has big brown eyes and a long tail. He is very friendly
dog, but he is sometimes a little stupid. Dogs are expensive to keep but
they are fun to play with.
Our cat is named Martha. She is quite young, but she is not a kitten.
She is very pretty. She has black and white fur and green eyes. She’s
smart, too and very clean.
The tortoise’s name is Rocky. He has short, fat legs, a long neck, and a
very hard shell. He is also very old and slow. He’s ugly and dirty, but I
like him.
▪ Note: The reporting verbs that are usually used to report imperative sentences are:
Tell, order, command, ask, warn, remind
For example:
Direct speech Indirect speech
Simple Present Pattern:
1. Nominal:
(+) She is a nurse.
S + To be + Compliment
(-) He is not a teacher.
S + To be + not + Compliment
(?) Are they students?
To be + S + Compliment + ?
When using word questions (W/H questions such as What, Who, When, Why, Where,
Which, How), we simply put the question word in the beginning of the sentence and followed
by the form of question pattern above.
Example:
Why is she angry?
W/H question + to be + S + Compliment + ?
2. Verbal:
(+) S + Verb1 -s/es + O / C / adv
I study English every day.
He plays basketball every Tuesday and Thursday.
meet meets
Verbs ending in consonants + y: Fly flies
Watch watches
Push pushes
Fix fixes
Exceptions: Have has
go goes
do does
Noun phrase
A noun phrase is either a single noun or pronoun or any group of words containing a noun or
a pronoun that function together as a noun or pronoun, as the subject or object of a verb.
For example, ‘they’, ‘books’, and ‘the books’ are noun phrases, but ‘book’ is just a noun, as
you can see in these sentences (in which the noun phrases are all in bold)
Example 1:
Bean : Yes, I like it. (Note: ‘It’ refers to ‘the book’, not ‘book’)
Example 2:
This is the table of the adjectives that are combined with the nouns:
Opinion adjectives
Descriptive adjectives Nouns
Determiner
General specific size shape age colour nationality material
A Lovely comfortable big - - - - Wooden chair
The Cheap - - - new black German - car
Large round - - - metal table
When you use a noun in front of another noun, you never put adjectives between them.
You put adjectives in front of the first noun.
Noun phrase can be in form of gerund (Vbase+ing) or gerund and other nouns
compounding.
A finite verb is a verb that is inflected for person and for tense according to the rules and
categories of the languages in which it occurs. Finite verbs can form independent clauses,
which can stand by their own as complete sentences.
Every grammatically correct sentence or clause must contain a finite verb; sentence
fragments not containing finite verbs are described as phrases.
Some interjections can play the same role. Even in English, a sentence like Thanks for your
help! has an interjection where it could have a subject and a finite verb form (compare I
appreciate your help!).
In English, as in most related languages, only verbs in certain moods are finite. These
include:
the indicative mood (expressing a state of affairs); e.g., "The bulldozer demolished the
restaurant," "The leaves were yellow and stiff."
the imperative mood (giving a command).
the subjunctive mood (expressing something that might or might not be the state of
affairs, depending on some other part of the sentence); nearly extinct in English.
A verb is a word that expresses an occurrence, act, or mode of being. Finite verbs, sometimes
called main verbs, are limited by time (see tense), person, and number.

A nonfinite verb form - such as a participle, infinitive, or gerund - is not limited by by
time (see tense), person, and number.
the infinitive
participles (e.g., "The broken window...", "The wheezing gentleman...")
gerunds and gerundives
In linguistics, a non-finite verb (or a verbal) is a verb form that is not limited by a subject;
and more generally, it is not fully inflected by categories that are marked inflectionally in
language, such as tense, aspect, mood, number, gender, and person. As a result, a non-finite
verb cannot generally serve as the main verb in an independent clause; rather, it heads a non-
finite clause.
By some accounts, a non-finite verb acts simultaneously as a verb and as another part of
speech; it can take adverbs and certain kinds of verb arguments, producing a verbal phrase
(i.e., non-finite clause), and this phrase then plays a different role — usually noun, adjective,
or adverb — in a greater clause. This is the reason for the term verbal; non-finite verbs have
traditionally been classified as verbal nouns, verbal adjectives, or verbal adverbs.
English has three kinds of verbals: participles, which function as adjectives; gerunds, which
function as nouns; and infinitives, which have noun-like, adjective-like, and adverb-like
functions. Each of these is also used in various common constructs; for example, the past
participle is used in forming the perfect aspect (to have done).
Other kinds of verbals, such as supines and gerundives, exist in other languages.
Example:
One day a crow finds a tasty piece of cheese. She picks it up, flaps her wings,
and flies to a high branch of a tree to eat it.
…………….
Randah : Why don’t you ask Agnes? Perhaps she could help
you.
to indicate that the ability existed in the past but doesn’t exist now.
Example: Tasya : Ras, can you climb the durian tree?
Example: When I was a child, I would visit my grandparents every weekend.
On Sundays, when I was a child, we would all get up early and go
fishing.
insert rather into the pattern and use this expression to express preferences
Example: Justin : What would you rather do in the weekend, go to the party or stay
home?
Example: Andi : Would you mind cycling with me, Kala?
Example: Bunda : Putri, you should study tonight. You will have English test
tomorrow, won’t you?
Debby : You should paint your door, Bobby. It looks terrible.
Example: You should practice for more than an hour. (to musical friend)
They shouldn’t allow parking here; the street is too narrow.

There was once upon a time a poor widow who had an only son named Jack. They
were so poor that they didn’t have anything except a cow. When the cow had grown too
old, his mother sent Jack to sell it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who
had some beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher told the boy that the beans were of
great value and persuaded the silly lad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother became
so angry that she threw the beans out of the window.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun shining into a part of his room,
but all the rest was quite dark and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close
past Jack’s window. He opened the window and jumped onto the beanstalk which ran
up just like a big ladder.
He climbed…and climbed till at last he reach the sky. While looking around, he saw
a very huge castle. He was very amazed.

An Unlucky Day
One morning, I got up with the feeling that the day was going to be an unlucky one for
me. How right it was! Found that it was already 06:15 a.m..
I rushed into the bathroom. I did not see a piece of soap lying on the floor as I stepped
on it and slipped, almost breaking my back in the process.
Then, I went into the dining room for my breakfast. I gulped down the tea without
realizing that it was very hot. It burnt my tongue. I spat it out and could not eat anything
because my tongue hurt. I got dressed and rushed to the bus stop.
Unfortunately, I just missed the bus. My heart sank and I knew that I would be late for
school.
When I reached school. My name was taken down by the teacher. The teacher scolded
me for being late. To my humiliation, I was made to stand outside the class. I was so upset
by the incidents that I could not study properly. But worse was to come.
After school, I was on my way home when something hard hit me on the head.
Someone hand thrown a bag of fish bones out of the window and it landed on me! I was
boiling with rage but could do nothing. However, luckily for me, this only raised a small
lump on my head.
I managed to reach home safe and sound, and did not dare to go out again for the
rest of the day.
