May 12, 2020 Salah satu tenses dari ke 16 tense yang akan dibahas adalah Present Perfect Continuous Tense. Nama lain dari Present Perfect Continuous adalah Present Perfect Progressive Tense. Kita akan membahas fungsi dari Present Perfect Continuous dan latihan soalnya. Berikut beberapa fungsi dari Present Perfect Continuous tense. Present Perfect Continuous TenseFungsi Present Perfect Continuous Tense 1 Present Perfect continuous is used to talk about an activity, which started in the past and still continue at present. Present Perfect Continuous digunakan untuk menceritakan sebuah aktivitas atau kejadian yang terjadi di masa lampau dan masih berlangsung atau berlanjut sampai saat ini, masa sekarang. Example 1. My mother has been waiting my sister for over two hours. 2. It’s been raining since 7 am. Dari dua contoh di atas dapat dijelaskan bahwa Kalimat no 1, My mother has been waiting my sister for over two hours Ibu saya telah sedang menunggu kakak perempuan saya selama lebih dua jam. Aktifitas atau kejadian yang dilakukan ibu menunggu kakak perempuan berlangsung selama 2 jam. Misal dimulai dari jam dan sekarang masih menunggu hingga jam Kalimat no 2, It’s been raining since 7 Hujan dari jam 7 pagi. Hujannya terjadi dari jam 7 pagi dan sampai sekarang masih hujan misalkan sekarang jam 1 siang. 2 Present Perfect Continues Tense is used to talk about an activity or action which has been completed recently and has a consequence at present. Present Perfect Continuous Tense digunakan untuk menceritakan sebuah aktifitas atau aksi yang telah diselesaikan barusan saja dan ada atau terlihat hasilnya sebab dan akibat. Example 1. Andi is sleepy as he has been studying all day night. 2. My friends don’t have any balance because they have been phoning their family. Dari dua contoh di atas dapat dijelaskan bahwa Kalimat no 1 memiliki arti; Andi mengantuk karena dia telah belajar semalam suntuk. Karena Andi belajar hingga semalam suntuk maka dia mengantuk. Mengantuk di sini sebagai hasil dari akibat dia begadang. Kalimat no 2 memiliki fungsi yang sama yaitu teman teman saya tidak memiliki pulsa lagi karena dia telah menelpon keluarganya. 3 Present Perfect Continues Tense can be used to talk about an action which is focused on. And it is not on the completion of the action or activity. Present Perfect Continuous Tense dapat digunakan untuk menceritakan sebuah kejadian atau aktifitas yang difokuskan, jadi hanya focus pada aktifitasnya bukan focus pada penyelesaiannya. Example 1. John has been typing a letter. 2. Bram and Peter have been negotiating the price of bus ticket. Pada dua contoh kalimat present perfect continuous tense di atas dapat dijelaskan bahwa Kalimat no 1 memiliki arti John telah sedang menulis sebuah surat aktifitas yang dilakukan John yaitu menulis surat. Nah proses penulisan surat inilah yang dimaksud dari focus pada aksinya saja atu aktifitasnya. Kalimat no 2 memiliki arti Bram dan Peter telah sedang menegosiasi tiket bus proses menegosisasi yang dilakukan oleh Bram dan Peter merupakan aktifitas yang tidak perlu kita ketahui apakah mereka selesai atau belum. 4 We often use Present Perfect Continuous when we ask questions with "How long". Kita bisa menggunakan Present Perfect Continuous ketika kita menanyakan sesuatu dengan ungkapan how long. Example long have you been typing the letter? long have they been living in Jakarta? How long digunakan untuk menanyakan durasi, lama waktu. Seperti contoh nomer 1. Berapa lama kamu telah sedang mengetik surat? Di bawah ini adalah sebuah table perubahan kalimat positive, negative dan interrogative dari present perfect continuous tense. Affirmative Negative Interrogative Answer She has been waiting for me all day. She has not been waiting for me all day. Has she been waiting for me all day? Yes, she has/ No, she has not.
