Fungsi Tenses
Tenses adalah perubahan kata kerja dalam sebuah kalimat yang di pengaruhi oleh waktu dan
sifat kejadian.
A. WAKTU
B. SIFAT KEJADIAN
Contoh :
1. Sekarang, saya sedang makan nasi. (Analisa: sekarang itu present, sedang itu
continuous. Maka, tensesnya adalah present continuous).
2. Kemarin, aku sudah sarapan sebelum berangkat ke sekolah. (Analisa: Kemarin itu past,
sudah itu perfect. Maka, tensesnya adalah past perfect).
3. Besuk sore, aku sudah mengumpulkan tugasku, pak!
(Analisa: Besuk sore/akan itu future, sudah itu perfect. Maka, tensesnya adalah future
perfect).

Last year, we went to Liverpool. We arrived there at 7 pm. Then we went to hotel. I had ordered the
ticket of the room a week before. In the morning, we visited some tourism places. In the afternoon, we
backed to London. When I arrived home, my father and my mother were watching TV. I was very happy.
Tomorrow, I will go travelling with my friend. We will go to Oxford City. We will depart at 7 am, and by

TRAVEL KE BALI
Namaku adalah Mike. Aku tinggal di Bandung. Usiaku 20 tahun. Sekarang aku sedang belajar di
Universitas Pajajaran Bandung. Aku sudah belajar di sana selama 2 tahun. Aku sudah mempunyai
pacar. Namanya Jennifer. Dia berasal dari Bogor. Dia sangat cantik sekali. Dia selalu pergi ke salon
setiap hari minggu untuk merawat wajahnya. Aku sudah bersama dia selam 3 tahun. Kita akan menikah
tahun depan. Sebetulnya kita akan menikah tahun kemarin, tapi orangtuanya tidak setuju. Tapi aku
yakin menjelang akhir tahun ini, orang tuanya pasti sudah setuju dengan rencana kita.
Tahun lalu aku pergi ke Bali untuk menghabiskan liburanku. Aku pergi kesana bersama dia. Aku
tiba di Bali tengah malam. Hari sudah gelap ketika aku sampai di bandara. Kemudian aku pergi ke hotel
untuk beristirahat. Aku tidur nyenyak sekali. Aku terkejut ketika aku bangun tidur. “Ini sudah jam 7 pagi”
pacarku mengirimku pesan WA. Aku kira aku kebablasan tidur. Aku segera bangun tidur kemudian aku
mandi. Setelah mandi aku nonton TV sebentar. Aku menonton TV selama 30 menit sebelum akhirnya
sarapanku datang. Aku segera menjemput pacarku untuk sarapan bersama dan bersiap siap untuk pergi
ke Pantai Kuta. Jam 09 pagi, kita sampai di Pantai Kuta. Kemudian kita berjalan jalan dan menikmati
pemandangan di sana. Jam 3 sore, kita kembali ke bandara. Kemudian kita terbang ke Bandung.
Itu adalah pengalamanku yang sangat luar biasa sekali. Aku senang sekali. Aku sudah tahu
tentang Pantai Kuta sebelum aku pergi kesana tahun lalu, dari salah seorang temanku. Sehingga aku
dapat menikmati secara total. Aku berharap aku akan bisa kembali kesana lagi, suatu saat nanti,
dengan pacarku yang lainnya.

A Private Conversation
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not
enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very
angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did
not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘I can't hear a word!’ I said
angrily.‘It's none of your business, ’ the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!’
Breakfast or Lunch?
It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last
Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘What a day!’ I thought. ‘It's
raining again. ’ Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I've just arrived by train, ’ she said.
‘I'm coming to see you. ’‘But I'm still having breakfast, ’ I said.‘What are you doing?’ she asked.‘I'm
having breakfast, ’ I repeated.‘Dear me, ’ she said. ‘Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!’
Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in
public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I read a few
lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly,
but I did not send cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought
thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card!
An Exciting Trip
I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six
months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of
different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small
town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has
never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.
No Wrong Numbers
Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst.
Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he
has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinburst to Silbury.
The bird covered the distance the first three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many
requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has
begun his own private telephone service.

Percy Buttons
I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. Yesterday a beggar knocked at my door. He asked
me for a meal and a glass of beer. In return for this, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs. I
gave him a meal. He ate the food and drank the beer. Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and
went away. Later a neighbour told me about him. Everybody knows him. His name is Percy Buttons. He
calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.
Too Late
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were expecting a
valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that
thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting
inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane
and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others
opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for‘The Nicest
Garden Competition’each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works
harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has
made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard
work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst
garden in the town!
A Cold Welcome
On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large
crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time.
Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move.
We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, ‘It's two minutes past twelve!
The clock has stopped!* I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New
Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.
We have an old musical instrument. It is called a clavichord. It was made in Germany in 1681.
Our clavichord is kept in the living room. It has belonged to our family for a long time . The instrument
was bought by my grandfather many years ago . Recently it was damaged by a visitor . She tried to play
jazz on it! She struck the keys too hard and two of the strings were broken. My father was shocked. Now
we are not allowed to touch it . It is being repaired by a friend of my father's.

One Good Turn Deserves Another
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer's office
years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from
his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never
borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise,
he gave me the money immediately. ‘I have never borrowed any money from you, ’ Tony said, ‘so now
you can pay for my dinner!

Club. The Greenwood Boys will be staying for five days. During this time, they will give five

the same on these occasions.
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I
drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift.
As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him 5 in French and he replied in the same
language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the
journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, ‘Do you speak
English?’As I soon learnt, he was English himself!
Good news
The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his
office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was
very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already
left. I knew that my turn had come.‘Mr. Harmsworth, ’I said in a weak voice.‘Don't interrupt, ’he said.Then
he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!
51
A Polite Request
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky
if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes
very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car:‘Sir, we welcome you to our city. This
is a“No Parking”area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is
only a reminder. ’If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
Always Young
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often
appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she
will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.
Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone
ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, ‘Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!’
After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door
and now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the landlord came in.‘Did you have a good meal?’he
asked.‘Yes, thank you, ’I answered, ‘but I can't pay the bill . I haven't got my bag. ’The landlord smiled
and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me.‘I'm very
sorry, ’he said. ‘My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!’
Sold Out
‘The play may begin at any moment, ’ I said.‘It may have begun already, ’ Susan answered.I
hurried to the ticket office. ‘May I have two tickets please?’I asked.‘I'm sorry, we've sold out, ’ the girl
said.‘What a pity!’ Susan exclaimed. Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.‘Can I return these two
tickets?’ he asked.‘Certainly, ’ the girl said.I went back to the ticket office at once.‘Could I have those two
tickets please?’ I asked.‘Certainly, ’ the girl said, ‘but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you
still want them?’‘I might as well have them, ’ I said sadly.
Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not
worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am
even less lucky. I never catch anything ---- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the
river, I always go home with an empty bag. ‘You must give up fishing!’ my friends say. ‘It's a waste of
time. ’ But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not reallyinterested in fishing. I am only interested in
sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
