Semua nota subtopik ini dalam satu halaman — sesuai untuk ulang kaji pantas.
Present Simple — Fakta & Kebiasaan
- Guna untuk kebiasaan (habits): "I go to school every day." 🏫
- Guna untuk fakta umum: "Water boils at 100°C." 💧
- Guna untuk jadual tetap: "The bus leaves at 7 a.m." 🚌
- Eh, tahu tak? Rahsia besar: untuk 'he/she/it', kata kerja WAJIB tambah -s/-es. 'She plays', bukan 'She play'. Ini silap paling kerap dalam karangan!
- Penanda masa: always, usually, often, every day, sometimes ⏰
- Negatif: do/does + not + verb — "He does not eat meat."
Tip Power! Silap klasik: "She go to school." ❌ → "She goes to school." ✅ Jangan lupa -s untuk he/she/it!
Past Simple — Dah Selesai Dulu
- Guna untuk tindakan selesai pada masa lampau tertentu ✅
- Contoh: "We visited Melaka last year." 🏯
- Regular verb tambah -ed: play → played, watch → watched
- go
- went
- eat
- ate
- buy
- bought
- see
- saw
- take
- took
- Penanda masa: yesterday, last week, ago, in 2020 📅
- Negatif guna did not + verb asas: "I did not go." (bukan "did not went")
Tip Power! Selepas "did", verb mesti balik ke bentuk asas! "Did you saw?" ❌ → "Did you see?" ✅
Future Simple — Akan Datang
- Guna will + verb untuk keputusan spontan / ramalan: "I will help you." 🙋
- Guna be going to untuk rancangan / bukti jelas: "It is going to rain." 🌧️
