Cara Cepat Paham Present Perfect Tense

 


Present Perfect Tense digunakan untuk membicarakan:

  • Tindakan yang sudah terjadi di masa lalu tetapi masih ada hubungannya dengan masa sekarang

  • Pengalaman hidup tanpa menyebutkan waktu spesifik

  • Perubahan yang terjadi dari masa lalu sampai sekarang

  • Tindakan yang baru saja selesai

1. Rumus:

  • Kalimat positif:
    Subject + have/has + past participle (V3)
    Contoh: I have finished my homework.

  • Kalimat negatif:
    Subject + have/has + not + past participle (V3)
    Contoh: She has not visited Bali.

  • Kalimat tanya:
    Have/Has + subject + past participle (V3)
    Contoh: Have you eaten breakfast?

2. Kapan kita menggunakan Present Perfect?

A. Pengalaman hidup (tanpa waktu spesifik):

  • I have visited Japan.

  • She has never met the president.

B. Perubahan dari masa lalu:

  • He has grown a lot.

  • Technology has become faster.

C. Tindakan yang dimulai di masa lalu dan masih berlangsung:

  • We have lived here for five years.
    (Kami sudah tinggal di sini selama lima tahun.)

D. Tindakan yang baru saja selesai:

  • He has just left.
    (Dia baru saja pergi.)

  • I have already finished my homework.
    (Saya sudah menyelesaikan PR saya.)

3. Catatan penting:

  • Present Perfect tidak digunakan dengan keterangan waktu spesifik seperti yesterday, last year, in 2020.
    Jika menyebutkan waktu spesifik, gunakan Simple Past Tense.

Contoh:

  • Salah: I have seen that movie yesterday.

  • Benar: I saw that movie yesterday.
