SIMPLE PAST

B. Bentuk Verbal
Kalimat dalam bentuk verbal menggunakan kata kerja (Verb) sebagai predikatnya.
Kata kerja karena verb menunjukan aktivitas dari subjek dalam kalimat.
Contoh = They spoke english grammar (spoke = verb sebagai predikat)
Bentuk kata kerja kedua disebut Verb 2 (V2) atau past. Kata kerja ini biasa digunakan dalam kalimat simple past tense .
Kapan kamu menggunakan kata kerja ke-2? Di saat sebuah aksi atau tindakan yang dilakukan sudah lewat atau
lampau. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan adanya keterangan waktu seperti: last night, yesterday, three years ago, dan
sebagainya. Biasanya kata kerja kedua ditambahkan -d atau -ed dari kata kerja pertama, tapi bisa juga berubah bentuk
yang hurufnya berbeda. Maka dari itu, kata kerja kedua bisa dikatakan menjadi dua. Kata yang hanya ditambahkan -d
atau -ed disebut sebagai regular verb. Sedangkan perubahan huruf pada kata kerja disebut sebagai irregular verb.

Contoh regular verb:

Achieve – achieved
Call – called
Clean – cleaned
Enjoy – enjoyed
Phone – Phoned
Talk – Talked

Contoh irregular verb:

Begin – began
Eat – Ate
Speak – spoke
Take – took
Find – found
Leave – left
