INTRODUCTION
Education of the 21st century is drastically changing than any going before decades
some time. Technology has become deciding figure in making difference education and
lesson being important and effective for millenial students. Therefore, teacher must be able to
make the class more interesting both in online and offline learning situations. In order, to still
achieve the competence of the English language itself.

The objective of teaching English is improving the students four competences, they
are writing, speaking, reading and listening. The four abilities are related each other. To
master writing ability, someone has to understand well about grammar, to master reading,
someone has also knowing well about vocabulary. Vocabulary itself has a deep contact in
speaking ability. While listening competence needs speaking fluently. All of that are related
to each other.
Besides, in learning english, students have to master a grammar. One of grammar
consists of Tenses. By learning the Tenses, students respectively understand how to make
sentence based on specific time and how to relate one word with others.

Grammar may be roughly defined as the way of language manipulates and combines
words (or bits or words) in order to form longer units of meaning. In other words grammar is
defined as the way how the words can be combines together to make meaningful and
understandable expressions either spoken or written. For example, in English as Auxilary
(have) is used for the third person plural (I, you, we, they), so when (have) is combined with
the subject (she, he, it) the result is ungrammartical, such as in the sentence She have eaten.
Therefore, Grammar takes impotant role in English.

In this case, the teacher must have an coriusly technique for students in the class to
create it more communicative and enjoyable, such as demontration, illustration, TPR
activities, and problem solving activities.

practiced.

From the formula to find the existing interval distance, the following calculations can
be carried out:
