PRELIMINARY

1.1 Background Tenses

Language is a typical symbol of a country or region, because language is a vital element in

communicating or as the most important communication mode. In the interaction, social relationships
with others in the community. Language is very diverse in this world, because each country language
is different from each other, even language can distinguish between one country with another country.
English is the international language. By mastering English well, then we will be able to communicate
with other nations in this world. In addition, we will be able to increase our knowledge and knowledge
for the betterment of our nation and country, for we will be able to read English literature, listen to
foreign radio broadcasts, and watch other science films. Thus, ultimately we can master the knowledge
in all fields.

In addition to adding to the understanding of the International language, by studying this English will
at least facilitate us to get a decent job, or to stock our science in the future. Understanding and
mastering the International Language well and correctly of course provide excellent benefits for us all.
For that, it needs to be understood first grammar in English. In addition to expedite the way of
pronunciation, we will also understand how to compose the word to be spoken so that it becomes one
sentence that is solid and correct according to its tenses.

1.2 Problem Identification

Based on the above background, the authors formulate the following issues:
1. Understanding Tenses?
2. How many tenses are in English?
3. What is the formula and example of the tenses?

1.3 Purpose of Writing

From the Identification of Problems above, the purpose of writing this paper is to explain or explain
the points, as well as help explain the procedures of the use of words and words that correspond to the
time and conditions of occurrence of an event in the writing of English papers.

 CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

Tenses in English means time (time). The word tenses means a verb or set of words used to
express a time relationship. In grammar, tenses are categories that place the situation in time, to
indicate when the situation is in progress. The basic Indonesian word sequence is similar to English.
Generally, sentences begin with a subject, followed by a verb (also called a predicate), and then an
object. Indicating past or future forms requires only inserting words that indicate time, in a very
organized system.

2.1.TYPES OF TENSES

A. Simple present tense

In English Present Tense or Simple Present Tense is used to declare events or events,
activities, activities and so on at this time. Present Tense is also used to declare a Fact, or something
that happens over and over again at the present time. Remember, PRESENT is now, now.

The formula:
(+): S + V1 (s / es)
(-): S + DO / NO + NO + V1
(?): DO / DOES + S + V1

Example :
(+) She drinks coffe.
(-) She does not drink coffee.
(?) Does She drink coffee?

B. Present Continous Tense

The Present Continuous Tense is used to declare something that is happening right now,
currently in progress.

The formula:
(+): S + Tobe + Verb + ing
(-): S + Tobe + Not + Verb + Ing
(?): Tobe + S + Verb + ing

Example:
(+) I am writing now.
(-) I am not writing now.
(?) Are you writing now?

2
C. Simple Future Tense

Future Tense or Simple Future Tense is used to state events that will Happen. Future tense is
about Later. Something he says Future is "The Future". Therefore in Future Tense the use of Will,
Shall which means will surely dominate. Still remember the division of Tenses in the outline right?
there are 3 major Tenses namely: Past, Present and Future (Formerly, Now, Later). Every Future must
use WILL or SHALL, it means WILL. But there is also a Past Future Tense later. Because Past then
Will and Shall use past also also "Would", later we learn more in Past Future Tense. Oh yes, after Will
or Shall or Would must have followed the form of either a verb or a verb help.

The Formula:
(+): S + will + V1
(-): S + will + not + V1
(?): Will + S + V1

Example:
(+) They will visit Tokyo.
(-) They will not visit Tokyo.
(?) Will They visit Tokyo?

D. Future Continous Tense

This one Tense speaks of an event that is "Being Happened" as well as the Present Continuous
Tense, but the difference in the Future Continuous Tense then the "Medium" it is not now but
tomorrow, will come, later.

The Formula:

(+): S + will + be + Ving

(-): S + will not + be + Ving

(?): Will + S + be + Ving

Example:

(+) You will be going to school at seven o’clock tomorrow morning.

(-) You won’t be going to school at seven o’clock tomorrow morning.

(?) Will you be going to school at seven o’clock tomorrow morning ?

3
E. Future Perfect Tense

Future Perfect Tense is used to express something that "has happened, but WILL"

The Formula:

(+): S + will + have + V3

(-): S + will + not + have + V3

(?): Will + S + have + V3

Example:

(+) She will have learned music.

(-) She will not have learned music.

(?) Will She have learned musi?

F. Future Perfect Continues Tense

The Future Perfect Continuous Tense is used to express events that: will, have and still take place
in the future

Formula:

(+): S + will + have + been + Verb+ Ing

(-): S + will + not + have + been + Verb+ Ing

(?): Will + S + have + been + Verb Ing

Example:

(+) They will have been driving home.

(-) They will not have been driving home.

(?) Will They have been driving home?

4
G. Past Future Tense
Past Future Tense is used to declare events WILL be done, BUT in the past, not today. Learning
Tenses English is muter-muter around this TIME: past / paste, present / present (present), later / will
(future). So Past Future means past tense, past will.

The Formula :

(+): S + would + V1

(-): S + would + not + V1

(?): Would + S + V1

Example:

(+) You would work.

(-) You would not work.

(?) Would You work?

H. Past Future Perfect Tense

The English Tense Past Future Perfect Tense has the same pattern with the usual Future Perfect
Tense, the difference is only in Past only.

The Formula:
(+): S + would + have + V3

(-): S + would + not + have + V3

(?): Would + S + have + V3

Example:

(-) She would have learned music.

(-) She would not have learned music.

(?) Would She have learned music?

language to indicate the time (present, future, or past) the occurrence of an act or event.
