Applying in Sentences
Untuk menerapkan tenses perlu dipahami bahwa tenses
ditentukan oleh waktu. Maka penerapannya juga perlu
memperhitungkan kapan terjadinya.
1. Aku pergi ke Tegal kemarin.
Peristiwanya terjadi kemarin dan tidak ada peristiwa yang
menyertai. Cukuplah Past.

2. Ketika dia tiba di rumahku kemarin, aku telah makan

siang.
Peristiwanya terjadi kemarin, jadi past. Peristiwa tibanya
cukuplah simple, namun peristiwa makannya telah selesai,
berarti perfect, dan sudah tidak sedang makan, berarti
tanpa continuous.

3. Ketika dia tiba di rumahku kemarin, aku sedang makan.

Peristiwanya terjadi kemarin, jadi past. Peristiwa tibanya
cukuplah simple, namun peristiwa makannya sedang
terjadi, berarti continuous, dan tidak disebutkan lamanya
makan, berarti tanpa perfect.
4. Ketika dia tiba di rumahku jam 4 sore kemarin, aku sudah
membaca novel ini sampai halaman 120.
Peristiwanya terjadi kemarin, jadi past. Peristiwa tibanya
cukuplah simple, namun peristiwa membacanya telah
dilaksanakan sampai halaman 120, berarti perfect, dan
ketika itu belum selesai membaca berarti continuous.

5. Aku makan nasi. (bukan yang lain)

Peristiwanya adalah sekarang ini saya biasa makan nasi,
berarti present. Perlukah Perfect atau continuous?

6. Aku telah makan.

Peristiwanya terjadi di waktu lampau, tetapi ini bermaksud
mengatakan masih kenyang sekarang, yang berarti waktu
sekarang baru saja makan dan masih terasa akibatnya.
Dalam hal ini bukan past tetapi present dan perfect.
Perlukan continuous?

7. Aku sedang makan, jangan diganggu.

Peristiwanya jelas terjadi di waktu sekarang dan sedang
terjadi, maka menggunakan present dan continuous.
Perlukan perfect?

8. Sampai saat ini aku sudah mengajar di SMA N 1 Slawi

selama 27 tahun.
Peristiwanya berlaku sampai saat ini berarti present, dan
sudah 27 tahun berarti perfect, apakah aku masih
mengajar sekarang? Masih, berarti continuous.
 9. Aku akan datang ke rumahmu besok.
Terjadi di waktu yang akan datang, future. Tidak ada
peristiwa yang menyertainya, tanpa perfect dan
continuous.

10. Menjelang waktu kamu butuh buku ini, aku sudah selesai
membacanya.
Peristiwa ini pasti terjadi di waktu yang akan datang,
Future. Peristiwa butuhnya present saja, tetapi peristiwa
membaca sudah selesai, perfect, tanpa continuous.

11. Aku sedang tidur kalau kamu datang ke rumahku jam 3

nanti siang.
Peristiwanya terjadi nanti siang, future. Sedang tidur,
continuous. Datangnya cukup menggunakan present
karena hanya menerangkan waktu.

12. Aku sudah tidur selama 1 jam kalau kamu datang ke

rumahku jam 3 nanti siang.
Peristiwanya terjadi nanti siang, future. Sudah, perfect.
Mungkin masih tidur waktu itu, continuous. Datangnya
cukup menggunakan present karena hanya menerangkan
waktu.

Tenses nomor 13 sampai 16 digunakan untuk conditional

sentences, jadi tidak bisa dilihat waktu kejadiannya seperti di
atas.

Usage
There are two types of adjective clauses: restrictive
and non-restrictive.
1) A restrictive adjective clause distinguishes (Ind.
membedakan) the noun it modifies from all other
members of the same noun. It restricts the meaning
of the noun. It says which particular person or thing.
A restrictive adjective clause is introduced by a wh-
word (who, whom, whose, which, when, where,
why), or that. The word always functions as a
sentence element in the adjective clause.
In a restrictive adjective clause, the wh- word or
that can be omitted (see sentences 1-3 in Frame
la).
2) A non-restrictive adjective clause does not
restrict the meaning of the noun it modifies. It gives
further information about the noun.
Those two sentences will still give complete
information if the adjective clauses are omitted.
A non-restrictive adjective clauses is introduced by
a wh- word only. The wh- word may be the subject
(see sentence 4, Frame la), object (see sentence 4,
Frame Ib), or complement in the adjective clause.
In a non-restrictive clause, the wh- word cannot be
omitted.
In writing, a non-restrictive clause is always
separated from the noun it modifies by a comma. If
the non-restrictive clause is in the middle of the
complex sentence it is separated by two commas.
The absence or presence of commas with an
‘adjective clause changes the meaning of a sentence.
Examples:
(1) The new student to whom Dudung is talking is
over there.
(2) The new student, to whom Dudung is talking, is
over there.
Sentence (1) states that there are probably more than
one new student in the school, and the adjective
clause explains which new student the writer means.
Sentence (2) says that probably there is only one new
student, and he is known to the writer as well as the
reader.

Note:
1) If a preposition (usually at, in or to} and which
express place, they can be replaced by where.
Example:
The school to which Ani and Mila go has many
 students.
The school where Ani and Mila go has many
students.
2) If a preposition (usually at, in, on or during) and
which express time, they can be -replaced by
when.
Example:
The year during which they will graduate is
1972.
The year when they will graduate is 1972.

Usage
1. In the sentences in the above frame, the adverb clauses
modify the verb phrases of the main clauses.
2. An adverb clause may come at the beginning or at the
end of the complex sentence. If it comes at the beginning
 of the sentence, it is commonly followed by a comma
(see sentence 5—8). If it comes at the end of the sentence
it needs not and usually should not be preceded by a
comma (see sentences 1—4).
Note: A sentence may have adverb clauses at the
beginning and at the end of the sentence at the same
time.
Example:
While I was walking, I saw a traffic accident
where a similar accident had happened a week
before.
3. Adverb clauses may be divided into several types,
depending on the kind of information they give.
There are adverb clauses of;
a) time
An adverb clause of time can be introduced by the
following clause markers: after, before, when,
whenever (kapanpun), as, as soon as, until, while,
once, since
b) place
An adverb clause of place can be introduced by:
where, wherever (dimanapun).
In sentence 3 in the frame, the adverb clause is an
adverb clause of place. It tells about where a car ‘hit a
tree’.
c) manner
An adverb clause of manner may be introduced by as,
as if, as though. In sentence 4 in the frame, the adverb
clause is an adverb clause of manner. It tells how I
‘wanted to spend my time’.
d) cause (reason)
An adverb clause of cause (reason) may be
introduced by: because, since, as, for. The adverb
 clauses in sentences 7 and 8 are adverb clauses of
cause (reason). In sentence 8, for example, the clause
’since I had nothing to do’ gives information about
why ‘I came here’.
e) purpose (result)
An adverb clause of purpose can be introduced by: so,
so that, in order that, such … that, … enough that,
hence (oleh karena itu)
Example:
He studied hard so that he would pass the exam. The
adverb clause ’so that he would pass the exam’ tells
what ‘he studied hard’ for.
f) concession
An adverb clause of concession may be introduced by
though, although, even though, while (sedangkan),
nevertheless (namun demikian), even if (sekalipun),
(Inspite of phrase, despite phrase not clause)
Example:
He failed even though he had studied hard.
g) condition
An adverb clause of condition may be introduced by
if, unless,
as long as (asalkan), on condition that (dengan
syarat).
Example:
I’ll go by myself if you can’t go. (See also Unit 13).

INVERSION (emphasis, rhetorical)

http://www3.telus.net/linguisticsissues/Inversion.htm
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/internet-grammar/function/subjinv.htm
http://www.fullspate.net/efl-advanced-grammar/
http://www.edufind.com/english/grammar/ADVERBS7.cfm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv34.shtml

Negative adverbs can cause an inversion

I have never seen such courage.  Never have I seen such
courage.
She rarely left the house.  Rarely did she leave the house.
Bob rarely speaks to himself.  Rarely does Bob speak to
 himself.
If ‘rarely’ comes after the subject, there is no inversion but if it comes before the
subject, we need an inversion.

Inversions after negative adverbials

The sentence with the inversion sounds more formal or more literary, and
sentences like this are less common in ordinary conversation.
At no time did the prisoner look as if he might confess.
At no time did I say I would accept late homework.
At no time did he get permission for what he was doing.
Hardly had we walked in the door when the phone started
ringing.
Hardly/Scarcely had he stepped outside when it started to rain.
In no way will I agree to sharing an office with Ben.
Little** did she realize that her grandmother was really a wolf.
** This means that the girl didn't realize at all that her grandmother was really a
wolf.
Little do you know how much trouble you are in.
Little did she realize that her grandmother was really a wolf.
Never in her life had she experienced this exhilarating emotion.
Never before have I seen such awful behaviour.
Never have we seen such a breathtaking view.
No sooner had I reached the door than I realised it was locked.
No sooner did I reach the door than I realised it was locked.
Not only has McDonalds played a huge role in pioneering low
standards but it has also decided to restrict our ability to
have a public discussion.
Not until the next morning did she realize how serious it was.
Not until she took up rock climbing did she overcome her fear of
heights.
Nowhere had Susan seen a more beautifully decorated room.
Not a single word did she say.
Not only is she a great dancer but she is also an amazing
 mathematician.
Not until she took up rock climbing did she overcome her fear of
heights.
Only at night do bats leave their cave.
Only then/if/when/later did I know what I had got myself into.
Only later did they learn his terrible secret.
Note that it is not always the first verb that is inverted.
Only after he arrived at the airport did he look for his passport.
Only if you look through this dark glass will you be able to see
the spots on the sun.
We accepted the invitation. Only later did we suspect it might be
a trap.
Only by threatening extreme physical violence was the teacher
able to control the class.
Note that there is no inversion when "only" is used in the following way.
Only Fiona knew the answer to the question.
Rarely does a movie make you feel so warm and so uneasy at the
same time.
Scarcely/Barely had I arrived home when there was a knock on
the door.
Seldom does Bob get invited to parties. (seldom = rarely)
Under no circumstances/ On no account should you be absent
from your seminars.
Under no circumstances* will prisoners be allowed to give
interviews to the media.
* This is used to describe rules for which there are no exceptions. The alternative
without the inversion is: Prisoners will not be allowed to give interviews to the
media under any circumstances.

event that happened immediately after another

Hardly had he stepped outside when it started to rain.
Scarcely had he stepped outside when it started to rain.
No sooner had he stepped outside than it started to rain.
Note that the past perfect tense is used to describe the event that happened first.
Conditionals with inversions
Should you see Nigel, give him my regards.
Were I in your shoes, I would make a formal complaint.
Had I known it was her birthday, I would have bought her a gift.
Note that "should", "were" and "had" are the only verbs that can be inverted in this
way.

Inversions with "as"

Elisabeth was too shy to dance, as was Gerald.
She decided to leave early, as did Gerald.
In these sentences "as" indicates the similarity between two things.

Inversions with "so" and "such"

So excited were they that they couldn't sit still.
Such was their excitement that they began to jump up and
down.
Note that "so" is followed by an adjective and "such" can be replaced by "so great" (So great was
their excitement that...).

Inversions after adjectives

A few very literary sentences begin with an adjective and include
an inversion.
Blessed are the children who are still unaware of what the future
holds.
Gone* are the days when I could have been happy.
* Here the past participle is used like an adjective.
However there is no inversion in the following sentence.
Strange as it may seem, we were sorry to leave in the end.

Inversion for Prayer

May you both live happily ever after!

 MODAL WITH PERFECT
Source: English for The SLTA-Structure Reference Book II & III,
Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan.
Modals such as can, may, must, shall, could, might, should,
ought to and would, can be used with the perfect tense.
Frame 1: Affirmative Statements

next week.
11 You should have given him the last week.
(ought to have given) money
12 I would have returned your yesterday.
bicycle
13 You would have stopped the man.
and helped
Usage
1. The verb phrase in this construction consists of Modal + have
+ the third form of the main verb.
2. Basically the modals retain the meanings that they have when
they are used with the simple tenses. However, some
differences do occur when they are used with the perfect
tense. Following are the meanings of the modals when they
are used with the perfect tense.

CAN
Can indicates a possibility (sentence 1).
Sentence 1 means: It is possible that they have left when you get
there.

COULD
Could indicates
a) a past possibility which was not acted upon (sentence 2).
This sentence means: It was possible for you to do it then,
but you did not.
b) a past ability (sentence 3).
This sentence means: I was able to lift the box, but I did not
do it because, say, I preferred to sit and watch.
MAY
May indicates
a) a past possibility (sentence 4).
This sentence means: It was possible that he left the umbrella
on the train. (We do not know yet).
b) a future doubtful possibility (sentence 5).
This sentence means: It is possible that they will finish the
work by next week but they also have a lot of other things to
do, so you’d better not be too hopeful

MIGHT
Might indicates
a) a past possibility (the same as may; sentence 6).
This sentence means: It was possible that they left by train.
b) a past possibility which was not acted on (sentence 7).
This sentence means: It was possible for them to wait but
instead they left immediately and did not see us.

MUST
Must indicates a deduction about the past (sentence 8).
(The road is wet.) It must have rained last night.

SHALL
Shall is used almost exclusively with I or we. It indicates
prediction, with emphasis (sentence 9). This sentence means: We
are determined to finish the house before the rainy season starts.

SHOULD and OUGHT TO

These two are usually interchangeable. They express
a) expectation (sentence 10).
This sentence means: I expect to finish the book before you
need it.
b) unfulfilled obligation in past time (sentence 11).
This sentence means: You had the obligation to give the
money but you did not.

WOULD
Would indicates
a) an expectation that did not take place (sentence 12).
This sentence means: I expected to return your bicycle
yesterday, but I could not, because, say, it rained
This use of would is similar to that in conditional sentences.
Compare the sentence with the following:
I would have returned your bicycle yesterday if it hadn’t
rained.
b) an alternative to something that took place (sentence 13).
This sentence means: You did not stop and help the man
although you had this choice.

Frame 2: Negative Statements

SUB- PREDICATE
JECT MODAL NOT HAVE+VERB OBJECT, TIME
3RD FORM ETC.
1 We can not have given your money before you
back leave.
2 They can not have left already when you
get there.
3 I could not have done my home- yesterday.

4 I could not have lifted the box just now.
5 He may not have left the umbrella last week.

6 They may not have finished the work by next
week.
7 He might not have gone by train this
morning.
8 They might not have waited for a few before they
minutes went home.
9 We shall not have finished the house before the
rainy
season
starts.
10 You should not have given him the last week.
(ought not to have given) money
11 I would not have returned your bicycle yesterday.
Usage
1. The negative statement is formed by putting not after the
modal.
2. Note that not all affirmative statements with modal + perfect
can be turned into negative. In changing the affirmative into
the negative we should also remember that sometimes the
meaning of the modal changes.

Here are some of the changes.

COULD NOT
could not expresses that one situation is known to be impossible
as the result of another situation (sentence 3 and 4).
Sentence 3 means: It was not possible for me to do my homework
on the train because, say, it was very crowded.
Sentence 4 means: It was impossible for me to lift the box
because, say, it was too heavy.

MAY NOT and MIGHT NOT

may not and might not express lack of possibility or probability,
i.e. they express doubt and uncertainty (sentences 5, 6, 7, 8).

SHOULD NOT
should not expresses disapproval of something that was done in
the past (sentence 10). This sentence means: You gave him the
money

SUBJUNCTIVES
Source: English for The SLTA-Structure Reference Book II & III,
Departemen Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan.

When we talked about conditional sentences, we found some

uses of the subjunctive. Here are some examples taken from its
frames:
(1) She might not come if she were ill.
(2) She might have come if she hadn't been ill.
(3) Were he a doctor, he could help you.
(4) Had they come yesterday, I would've seen them.
Remember that the subjunctive is used in contrary-to-fact
condition. Now we will look at the uses of the subjunctive in
clauses after wish, would rather, as if, as though, if only.
A. The subjunctive referring to a present situation
Frame 1a: wish/would rather + the 'past tense' form

CLAUSE
SUBJECT +
WISH (THAT)
VERB ETC.
SUBJE
CT
1 I wish (that) I remember her
ed address.

2 He wishes (that) he were rich.

3 We wish (that) it would

rain

4 She would (that) did it now.

rather you

5 They would (that) came tomorro

rather she w.

Frame 1b: as if etc. + the 'past tense' form

 SUBJEC CLAUSE
AS IF,
T+ SUBJE
ETC, VERB ETC.
VERB CT

1 He walks as if he were drunk.

They as nothing happen

2 keep though ed.
singing

3 If only it were cheap.

Usage
1. The situation as expressed in the clause after wish, as if, as
though, etc. is unreal or contrary - to - fact.
2. We use the past tense form of a verb in the clauses to
express a situation or event which is contrary to the fact of
the present. (After would rather it may also refer to a
future situation). Look at the sentences in the frames
above. For example, Frame la, sentence 1 means: 'I don't
remember her address, (but I wish I remembered it).
Frame la, sentence 5 means: 'They have come now, (but
I would rather they came tomorrow).
Frame Ib, sentence 1 means: 'He isn't drunk, (but he
walks as if he were drunk).
3. Note that were is used for all persons (see Frame la,
sentence 2 and Frame Ib, sentences 1, 3).

B. The subjunctive referring to a past situation

 Frame 2a: wish/would rather + the 'past perfect tense' form
CLAUSE

SUBJECT (THAT) VERB ETC.

+ WISH SUBJECT

1 We wish (that) we had invited him.

2 I wished (that) the had been in his office

doctor yesterday.

3 I would (that) you had not there.

rather gone

Frame 2b: as if, etc. + the 'past perfect tense'form

SUBJECT AS IF, CLAUSE
+ VERB ETC. SUBJE VERB ETC.
CT
1 She cried as if she had been hit by her
loudly mother.

2 They sat as though nothing had

quietly happened.

3 If only I had arrived earlier.

Usage
1. We use the 'past perfect tense' form in clauses after wish,
as if, etc. to express a situation or event which is contrary
to the fact of the past Look at the sentences above. For
 example Frame 2a, sentence 1 means:
2. We didn't invite him, (but we wish now that we had invited
him)! Frame 2b, sentence 1 means: 'She was not hit
(nobody touched her), (but she cried as if she had been
hit).
