Present Perfect Tense
Definisi dari present perfect tense
Present perfect digunakan untuk menunjukkan hubungan antara masa kini dan masa lalu. Waktu tindakan atau kejadiannya adalah sebelum sekarang, tetapi tidak spesifik, dan kita sering kali lebih tertarik dengan hasil atau akibatnya daripada tindakan itu sendiri.
Present perfect digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan:
- Tindakan atau situasi yang dimulai di masa lalu dan masih berlanjut hingga kini. I have lived in Bristol since 1984 (= dan saya masih tinggal di sana.)
- Tindakan yang dilakukan selama periode waktu yang belum selesai atau berakhir. She has been to the cinema twice this week (= dan minggu ini belum berakhir.)
- Tindakan berulang dalam periode yang tidak ditentukan antara masa lalu dan kini. We have visited Portugal several times.
- Tindakan yang baru saja selesai atau berakhir, dinyatakan dengan just. I have just finished my work.
- Tindakan di mana waktu tidaklah penting. He has read 'War and Peace'. (= hasil atau akibat dari tindakan membaca itu penting)
Catatan: Saat kita ingin memberikan atau meminta detail mengenai kapan, di mana, dan siapa, kita menggunakan simple past. Bacalah selengkapnya tentang cara memilih antara present perfect dan simple past tense.
