6. Information: › Use the s/es ending only for subjects in the form of
He, She, It.
› The ending s/es on verbs does not apply to the subjects I, you,
we, they.
› Add s/es only for positive sentences (+). › Do pairs with I, you,
we, they.
› Does pairs with He, She, it.
Keterangan:
› Penggunaan akhiran s/es hanya untuk subjek berupa He, She,
It.
› Akhiran s/es pada kata kata kerja tidak berlaku untuk subjek I,
you, we, they.
› Penambahan s/es hanya untuk kalimat positif (+).
› Do berpasangan dengan I, you, we, they .
› Does berpasangan dengan He, She, it.
7. Mistakes that often occur in answering simple present tense
questions usually lie in:
› Not adding s/es to the single subject He, She, It
– He know (False)
– He knows (True)
– I Know (True)
– I Knows(False)
Add s/es to negative sentences. The thing to remember is that the
addition of s/es is ONLY for positive sentences, whereas for
negative sentences, verbs no longer need to use the ending s/es
on the single subject He, she, it.
Example: - She doesn't knows (False)
- She doesn't know (True)
8. Terjemah: Kesalahan- kesalahan yang kerap terjadi dalam
menjawab soal tenses simple present biasanya terletak pada,
Tidak menambahkan s/es pada subjek tunggal He, She It
– He know (Salah)
– He knows (Benar)
– I Know (Benar)
– I Knows (Salah)
Menambahkan s/es pada kalimat negatif.
Hal yang perlu diingat, bahwasanya penambahan s/es HANYA
untuk kalimat positif sedangkan untuk kalimat negatif kata kerja
tidak perlu lagi menggunakan akhiran s/es pada subjek tunggal He,
she, it .
Contoh:
– She Doesn’t knows (Salah)
