| 1 | C | Salah satu fungsi dari past continuous tense ialah untuk menyatakan aktifitas atau insiden yang sedang berlangsung di waktu tertentu di masa lampau. Kaprikornus tidak cukup hanya memakai time signal “yesterday” saja, harus lebih spesifik menyerupai “at this time” dan lain-lain. The teachers ialah jamak maka memakai were. Penggunaan was/were tergantung dengan subjeknya, lihat tabel pada bab bawah. |
| 2 | A | Subjek we memakai were, time signal yang dipakai ialah at 04.00 p.m. yesterday. |
| 3 | A | Ini ialah past continuous tense bentuk negatif, rumus bentuk negative ialah S + was/were + not + Verb.ing, subjek He memakai was. |
| 4 | C | Ini ialah bentuk negative interogatif yang rumusnya Was/were + S + not + verb.ing. subjek they memakai were. |
| 5 | B | Ini ialah past continuous tense bentuk interogatif yang rumusnya Was/were + S + Verb.ing. Subjek Shinta memakai was. |
| 6 | C | Salah satu fungsi dari past continuous tense ialah untuk menyatakan suatu aktifitas atau insiden yang sedang berlangsung ketika aktifitas atau kejadan lain tiba menyela pada masa lampau. Untuk insiden utama rumusnya S + was/were + Verb.ing. sedangkan untuk insiden yang tiba menyela rumusnya S + verb2 (Berlaku untuk semua bentuk kalimat past continuous tense, baik positif, negative, interogatif, dan juga negative interogatif). |
| 7 | B | Ini merupakan past continuous tense bentuk negative interogatif, rumusnya ialah Was/were + S + not + verb.ing. was not atau were not boleh diletakkan di depan subjek namun harus disingkat menjadi wasn’t atau weren’t. Subjek Dina memakai was. |
| 8 | B | Subjek my father memakai was. Kejadian atau aktifitas yang tiba menyela memakai rumus S + Verb2 (seperti yang telah dijelaskan pada soal nomor 6), maka menjadi “I came”. |
| 9 | A | Ingat rumus bentuk negative yaitu S + was/were + not + Verb.ing. Subjek Aku memakai was. |
| 10 | B | Ingat rumus bentuk interogatif yaitu Was/were + S + Verb.ing. Subjek economics terdapat akhiran “s” bukan berarti jamak, melainkan uncountable, maka memakai was. |
Penggunaan was atau were tergantung dengan subjeknya, coba kalian perhatikan tabel dibawah ini :
| Subjek | Was/were |
|---|---|
| I | Was |
| You | Were |
| She | Was |
| He | Was |
| It | Was |
| We | Were |
| They | Were |
| Girl | Was |
| Girls | Were |
| Teacher | Was |
| Teachers | Were |
| Mathematics | Was |
| Budi (nama orang) | Was |
| Shinta (nama orang) | Was |
| Etc… |
Baca selengkapnya bahan penggunaan was dan were.
Dalam memilih penggunaan was atau were, kalian juga harus hati-hati dengan jamak irregular (jamak yang tidak beraturan – tidak terdapat pelengkap akhiran s/es), alasannya ialah tidak menyerupai jamak regular yang niscaya terdapat pelengkap akhiran s/es.
