Kata Kerja Beraturan (Regular Verbs)

Namanya saja Regular, ya berarti kata kerja mengalami perubahan secara teratur. Regular Verbs adalah
kumpulan kata kerja dengan perubahan dari verb1, verb2, verb3 ditambahkan akhiran –d atau –ed.

Apabila kata kerja berakhiran huruf vokal (juga disebut huruf hidup) AIUEO maka perubahannya
ditambah akhiran –d. Contohnya kata kerja bake berubah menjadi baked dan kata kerja loveberubah
menjadi loved.

Sedangkan kata kerja yang berakhiran huruf konsonan (juga disebut huruf mati) maka perubahannya
ditambah akhiran –ed. Misalnya kata kerja ask berubah menjadi asked dan kata kerja print berubah
menjadi printed.

2. Ini Alasan Mengapa Kita Harus Belajar Kata Kerja Bahasa Inggris

Perlu nggak sih membahas alasan mengapa kita harus belajar

kata kerja bahasa Inggris? Tadi sudah dibahas sekilas bahwa kata
kerja (Verb) adalah salah satu materi dasar Bahasa Inggris.

Seperti halnya dalam Bahasa Indonesia, struktur kalimat Bahasa

Inggris ada 4 yaitu Subjek, Predikat, Objek dan Keterangan. Nah,
kata kerja berperan sebagai predikat. Jadi untuk bisa membuat
kalimat, kamu perlu belajar kata kerja Bahasa Inggris.

Kata kerja bahasa Inggris digunakan dalam kalimat VERBAL. Namanya saja Verbal, ya berarti ada kata
kerja sebagai predikatnya. Sedangkan jenis kata yang lainnya yaitu kata benda, sifat dan keterangan
digunakan dalam kalimat NONVERBAL atau NOMINAL.

Kata kerja bahasa Inggris juga digunakan untuk membuat kalimat aktif dan pasif (Active and Passive
Voice). Untuk mengubah kalimat aktif menjadi pasif dan sebaliknya, kamu perlu tahu perubahan bentuk
kata kerja verb 1, verb 2, verb 3.

Selain itu, kalimat perintah (Imperative) juga menggunakan kata kerja Bahasa Inggris.
Misalnya: Open the door, please! Sit down here! Look at the flowers! Apakah kamu pernah membuat
kalimat perintah dalam bahasa Inggris?
So, belajar kata kerja Bahasa Inggris itu penting banget.

3. Kapan Menggunakan Kata Kerja Bahasa Inggris Verb 1, Verb 2, Verb 3 dan
Verb-ing

Pada kedua tabel contoh kata kerja di atas, kamu bisa

melihat 4 perubahan kata kerja bahasa Inggris yaitu V1,
V2, V3 dan V-ing. Kapankah kita menggunakan masing-
masing kata kerja tersebut? Kita bahas satu per satu yuk.

3A. Kata Kerja Bahasa Inggris Verb 1

(Infinitive)

Kata kerja bentuk pertama yaitu Verb 1 adalah kata kerja

paling sederhana di antara yang lainnya. Kata kerja ini disebut juga Infinitive atau Base Form yaitu
bentuk dasar. Kapan kata kerja bahasa Inggris Verb1 digunakan?

Kata kerja bahasa Inggris ini digunakan dalam beberapa tenses dan jenis kalimat yaitu:

1. Simple Present
2. Simple Present Future
3. Simple Past Future
4. Imperative Sentences
Jika kamu menemukan penggunaan kata kerja verb1 dalam jenis kalimat lainnya, bisa di-
sharingilmunya dalam kolom komentar ya.

Bagi kamu yang masih pemula, fokus pada penggunaan kata kerja Verb1 dalam kalimat Simple Present
Tense. Supaya nggak pusing, awali dengan kalimat bahasa Inggris sederhana dulu. Setelah itu baru deh
lanjut ke tenses lainnya.

Berikut ini contoh kalimat bahasa Inggris menggunakan kata kerja bentuk pertama

1. I read a book every day. (Simple Present: kata kerja base form)
2. Janice reads a book every week. (Simple Present: kata kerja berakhiran –
s/es)
3. We will do our homework later. (Simple Present Future: menggunakan Will)
4. We are going to do our homework after school. (Simple Present Future:
menggunakan Be Going To)
5. I knew she would call me. (Simple Past Future: menggunakan Would)
6. I thought Sany was going to call me. (Simple Past Future: menggunakan Be
Going To)
7. Clean your room now! (Kalimat Perintah)
Di sini saya nggak akan memberikan penjelasan detail masing-masing tense. Jika ingin tahu lebih
mendalam tentang tenses, kamu bisa cari artikelnya ya. Contoh lain penggunaan kata kerja bahasa
Inggris Verb1 dapat ditemukan dalam subpoin keempat.

3B. Kata Kerja Bahasa Inggris Verb 2 (Past Tense)

Kata kerja Verb 2 disebut juga Past Tense digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan masa lampau.
Penggunaan kata kerja bahasa Inggris ini gampang banget diingat. Mengapa?

Kata kerja verb2 digunakan pada kalimat Simple Past Tense saja. Hanya Simple Past saja? Yap, hanya
satu saja. Oleh karena itu, saya katakan tadi mengingat penggunaan verb2 ini mudah sekali. Perhatikan
contoh berikut.

1. She did a beautiful artwork yesterday.

2. We walked home last night.
Jika ingin melihat penjelasan detail mulai dari pengertian, rumus, hingga contoh kalimat, kamu bisa
lanjut mencari artikel tentang Simple Past Tense ya. Untuk contoh kalimat lainnya ada di subpoin
keempat. Sekarang kita lanjut mengenal kata kerja bentuk ketiga yuk.

3C. Kata Kerja Bahasa Inggris Verb 3 (Past Participle)

Kata kerja bahasa Inggris bentuk ketiga disebut juga Past Participle. Istilah paling gampang disebut
Verb 3. Kata kerja Verb3 digunakan untuk menyatakan kegiatan yang telah dilakukan pada masa
lampau.

Apa ada di antara kalian tahu verb3 digunakan dalam tenses apa? PERFECT! Ada 4 tenses
menggunakan kata kerja bentuk ketiga yaitu Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Present Future Perfect, Past
Future Perfect. Selain itu, kata kerja verb3 juga digunakan dalam Kalimat Pasif (Passive Voice) semua
tenses. Berikut adalah contohnya.

1. She has taken a bath. (Present Perfect)

2. Mother had cooked dinner when we went
home. (Past Perfect)
3. The kids will have slept by 11 p.m. (Present

Nggak harus dipelajari semuanya dalam sehari. Nanti malah stress. Pelan-pelan saja. Yang terpenting
kamu dapat pengetahuan tentang verb 3 dan tahu kapan menggunakannya. Kan nggak harus digunakan
sekarang juga, iya toh?

3D. Kata Kerja Bahasa Inggris Verb-ing (Present Participle)

Merubah verb menjadi jenis kata kerja bahasa Inggris Verb-ing memang terlihat gampang banget.
Hanya menambahkan akhiran –ing saja. Tapi sebenarnya ada sedikit aturan dalam mengubahnya
seperti take berubah menjadi taking, sit menjadi sitting, dan lie menjadi lying. Penjelasan dan contoh
lainnya bisa kamu lihat selengkapnya dalam artikel Kata Kerja Present Continuous (Verb-ing)
ini Paling Sering Dipakai.
Kapan kita menggunakannya? Setelah memilah-milah tenses yang digunakan V-ing, saya terkejut
karena kata kerja bahasa Inggris ini paling banyak digunakan. Yap, ada 8 tenses menggunakan Verb-ing
dalam pola kalimatnya. Selain itu, V-ing juga digunakan dalam Gerund yang berperan sebagai kata
benda. Pembahasan Gerund dibahas dalam artikel berbeda ya.

Semua tenses yang ada kata CONTINUOUS menggunakan kata kerja verb-ing. Perhatikan contoh
