A. were attending D. attended
B. attend E. had attended
C. have attended
Pembahasan:
'When did you do it
'When you ... the meeting?'
'Kapan anda mengerjakan pekerjaan itu?'
'Saat anda ... pertemuan.'
Kalimat soal dalam bentuk pertanyaan lampau past (when did), maka kalimat jawabannya-pun harus
dalam bentuk past. Conjuction 'when' menyatukan kegiatan tersebut berlangsung bersamaan oleh karena
itu harus dipergunakan bentuk past tense (S + V2) atau past continuous (S + was/were + V-ing). Dalam
hal ini past continuous lebih tepat alih-alih past tense untuk mengatakan 'saat anda sedang menghadiri
pertemuan' (when you were atending the meeting).
Jawaban: A

dalam bentuk past (didn't) oleh karenanya kalimat selanjutnya, sebagai reason, harus dalam past juga.

'Sedang' di waktu lampau diungkapkan dengan past continuous: S + was/were + V-ing.
Jawaban: D

Jawaban yang dikehendaki adalah alasan bahwa anak-anak tidak ada dirumah, yaitu sedang berkunjung
ke gurunya di Priok. Pernyataan dalam past (did) maka jawabannya pun dalam past. Ungkapan sedang
di waktu lampau dinyatakan dengan bentuk past continous : S + was/were + V-ing.

B. has ploughed E. has been ploughing
C. had ploughed
Pembahasan:
`When did the farmer find that ancient tool?
'When he . . `. his field.'
Kalimat pertama (pertanyaan) bertense past (did), maka kalimat jawaban harus daian, juga. Dalam hal ini
past continuous (was/were V-ing) lebih tepat karena menyatakan pekerjaan/kejadian terjadi pada saat
pekerjaan/kejadian lain dilakukan pada kurt:n Waktu lampau. 'Kapan petani itu menemukan alat kuno itu?
'saat dia sedang mencangkul ladang (When he was ploughing his field).

(get).

Jawaban dan Pembahasan

No. Jawaban Penjelasan

1 C Rumus yang digunakan untuk past perfect continuous tense (bentuk positif) adalah S + Had + Verb.ing.
Jadi untuk have dan has tidak digunakan untuk tense ini.

2 C Rumus bentuk positif dari past perfect continuous tense adalah S + Had + Verb.ing. Jika dalam kalimat
tidak terdapat kata kerja utama, maka gunakan be + ing, maka menjadi being.

3 A Jika kalian ingin mengubah kalimat positif menjadi negative, maka gunakan rumus S + Had not + Been +
Verb.ing. Had not dapat disingkat menjadi Hadn’t.

4 B Rumus yang digunakan untuk bentuk interogatif adalah Had + S + Been + Verb.ing. sedangkan penggunaan
did dalam kalimat interogatif hanya digunakan untuk simple past tense saja.

5 A Jika kalian ingin mengubah kalimat past perfect continuous tense menjadi bentuk negative interogatif, maka
gunakanlah rumus Had + S + Not + Been + Verb.ing.
 6 A Seperti yang telah saya sebutkan diatas bahwa untuk kalimat negative, gunakan rumus S + Had + Not +
Been + Verb.ing. Had not dapat kalian singkat menjadi Hadn’t. Untuk peristiwa lain yang terjadi,
gunakanlah verb2. Come menjadi came.

7 C Rumus yang digunakan untuk kalimat interogatif adalah Had + S + Been + Verb.ing. Dan untuk peristiwa
atau kejadian lain yang datang, gunakanlah verb2 seperti halnya kalimat negative yang telah saya sebutkan
tadi. Come menjadi came.

8 B Rumus yang digunakan untuk past perfect continuous tense bentuk negative interogatif adalah Had + S +
Not + Been + Verb.ing atau Hadn’t + S + Been + Verb.ing. Dan untuk peristiwa atau kejadian lain yang
terjadi juga menggunakan verb2 seperti bentuk kalimat yang telah dibahas diatas. Move menjadi moved.

9 C Bentuk positif menggunakan rumus S + Had + Been + Verb.ing. Untuk kejadian atau aktivitas lain yang
terjadi sama seperti bentuk yang lain yaitu menggunakan verb2. Take a bath menjadi took a bath, kata kerja
ini merupakan kata kerja irregular (tidak beraturan) sama halnya come. Jadi hati-hati dengan perubahan
kata kerja irregular.

10 C Seperti halnya soal nomor 9, ini adalah kalimat bentuk positif, menggunakan rumus S + Had + Been +
Verb.ing. Untuk kejadian atau aktivitas lain yang terjadi sama seperti bentuk yang lain yaitu menggunakan
verb2. Attend menjadi attended.
