Weleh.. Aq abis ngeband truzz nulis entri baru! Namanya Hobby tetep harus disalurkan to, yang penting positif! Tapi sedikit curhat nih... Masa depan setelah kuliah ama cita-cita dan impianku g nyambung lho.. Masa depanku, aku pengin banget jadi guru! tapi cita-cita dan impian gua... Jadi Rocker!! Emang ada guru nyambi rocker? Klo blum ada ntar aku yang pertama tuch!! Yang penting jalani hidup ini apa adanya dan tetap bersyukurlah atas apa ang kita dapat! Ok Coy!!
Malah Curhat!! Oke next Level kita ngebahas Past Continous Coy!!!
langsung bozz!!
FORM
[was/were + present participle]
Contoh :
* You were studying when she called.
* Were you studying when she called?
* You were not studying when she called.
gunanya apaan sich Coy?
1. Interrupted Action in the Past
Mulai agak sulit bozz. Langsung, Fungsinya buat ngejelasin bahwa ada kejadian yang sedang berlangsung dimasa lampau tapi terinterupsi atau terganggu! Biasanya gangguannya berlangsung cukup lama ato cuma bentar!!!
Conto cruy!!!
* I was watching TV when she called.
* When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.
* While we were having the picnic, it started to rain.
* What were you doing when the earthquake started?
* I was listening to my iPod, so I didn't hear the fire alarm.
* You were not listening to me when I told you to turn the oven off.
* While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car.
* Sammy was waiting for us when we got off the plane.
* While I was writing the email, the computer suddenly went off.
* A: What were you doing when you broke your leg?
B: I was snowboarding.
2. Specific Time as an Interruption
Sebenarnya sama kayak yang diatas, cuman... gangguannya itu lho bozz ditambahin keterangan waktu yang jelas!
Contohnya bro!
* Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner.
* At midnight, we were still driving through the desert.
* Yesterday at this time, I was sitting at my desk at work.
Oh Iya.. Ada yang informasi penting coy!
pada simple past, keterangan waktu yang spesific digunakan buat ngejelasin kapan kejadian mulai ato selesai. Tapi di Past continous waktu yang spesifik cuma buat nunjukin kapan kejadian yang lagi berlangsung terganggu ato interupted!
3. Paralel action
Nah, pas dirimu make' Past continous dengan dua kejadian di satu kalimat, maka dua kejadian itu berarti maknanya lagi terjadi berbarengan, tapi tetep di masa lampau cruy!
Contohnya cukup simple!
* I was studying while he was making dinner.
* While Ellen was reading, Tim was watching television.
* Were you listening while he was talking?
* I wasn't paying attention while I was writing the letter, so I made several mistakes.
* What were you doing while you were waiting?
* Thomas wasn't working, and I wasn't working either.
* They were eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.
4. Atmosphere (suasana)
Dalam bahasa English, kita make' paralel action kayak no 3 tadi buat ngejelasin suasana yang ada di sekitar kejadian!
Contohnya gan!
When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing, some were talking on the phones, the boss was yelling directions, and customers were waiting to be helped. One customer was yelling at a secretary and waving his hands. Others were complaining to each other about the bad service.
5. Repetition and Irritation with "Always"
past continous yang make' kata "always" or "constantly" bahwa ada kejadian buruk ato mengejutkan yang selalu terjadi dimasa lampau! Hampir sama dengan "Used To" tapi bozzz Ini konotasinya negatif! Inget selalu nempatin kata "always" or "constantly" diantara "be" and "verb+ing."!!!
Contoh!
* She was always coming to class late.
* He was constantly talking. He annoyed everyone.
* I didn't like them because they were always complaining.
