2. Simple present

1. How often …… coffee?                                                                                    

a. mother drinks
b. mother does drink
c. did mother drink
d. does mother drink?

e. Has mother drinks

Jawaban: d

Penjelasan: How often does mother drink coffee? Kalimat ini memiliki arti “Seberapa

sering Ibu minum kopi?” Pada jenis kalimat pertanyaan, selalu diawali “ does” atau “do”
dan diikuti oleh subjek.

Tidak bisa kita mengatakan, “How often mother does drink coffee?” Kalimat tanya ini
kurang tepat. Sama seperti contoh kalimat tanya ini, yang tepat “What are you doing?”
bukan “What you are doing?”.

2.adinda and her sister always….. English conversation at home.                                      

a. are practicing
b. practiced
c. practice
d. practices

e. Practic

Jawaban: c

Penjelasan: Adinda and her sister always practice English conversation at home.

Kalimat ini memiliki arti “Adinda dan adiknya selalu mempraktekkan percakapan bahasa
Inggris di rumah”.

Jawaban c merupakan jawaban yang paling tepat karena merupakan kata benda yang
bersifat subjek berbentuk jamak, yaitu “Adinda and her friend” jadi harus diikuti oleh kata
kerja dasar.

3.……… to Temple every time?                                                                                        

                                      a. Does you go
b. Do you go
c. Are you go
d. Have you go
Jawaban: b

Penjelasan: Do you go to Temple every time? Kalimat ini memiliki arti “Apakah kamu
pergi ke Pura setiap saat?”

Untuk bentuk pertanyaan yang memiliki subjek  I, You, They, We menggunakan bentuk
pertanyaan “Do” sedangan subjek She, He, It menggunakan bentuk pertanyaan “Does”
maka dari itu kalimat di atas tidak menggunakan pertanyaan ‘ Does you’
karena does untuk subjek She, He, It.

Jika dirubah akan menjadi ‘Does she go to Temple every time?’

4.He doesn’t ………. that Mr. Buhima is our maths teacher.                                                

                        

a. know
b. Knows
c. knew
d. Known

e. Knowed

Jawaban: a

Penjelasan: Dia doesn’t know that Mr. Buhima is our maths teacher. Kalimat ini memiliki
arti “Mereka tidak tahu bahwa Mr. Buhima adalah guru Matematika kita”. Mengapa
jawabannya adalah ‘know’.

Jawaban c sudah tidak mungkin karena knew merupakan kata kerja untuk ‘past tense’

dan jawaban d. known untuk present perfect tense yang didahului oleh have/has dan
bukan b. knows karena untuk kalimat negatif dan pertanyaan, setelah does/doesn’t,
do/don’t kembali diikuti oleh kata kerja dasar. Akhiran es/s hanya untuk kalimat positif.

5. It …… a lot of money to buy that car.                                                                            

                                                      a. cost
b. costed  
c. costs
d. costes

e. Costing

                                                                

Jawaban: c

Penjelasan: It costs a lot of money to buy that car. Kalimat ini memiliki arti
“Membutuhkan uang yang banyak untuk membeli mobil itu”.

Sama seperti penjelasan di atas. Subjek dari kalimat ini adalah ‘ It’. Jika subjek dimulai
oleh She, He dan It  maka kata kerja (verb) ditambahkan akhiran es/s. Maka kata
kerjanya menjadi ‘costs’.
6.The students usually……… fifteen minutes before the class starts.                                
                       

a. to come
b. come
c. come
d. are coming

e. Will come

Jawaban: c

Penjelasan: The students usually come fifteen minutes before the class starts. Memiliki
arti “Siswa biasanya datang lima belas menit sebelum kelas mulai”.

The students merupakan kata benda jamak/ plural yang memiliki peran sebagai subjek
yang diikuti oleh kata kerja (verb) dasar.

The students dimasukkan ke dalam kategori “They” karena the students merupakan kata

benda berbentuk plural (lebih dari satu orang), maka dari itu diikuti oleh kata kerja
“come”.
