Elephants ____ big and strong animals.
a. been
b. is
d. are
c. am
Jawaban yang benar adalah “d. are”.
Dalam soal ini kamu diminta untuk memilih jawaban yang tepat untuk melengkapi kalimat soal sesuai dengan tense. Tense yang digunakan dalam soal adalah Simple Present Tense kalimat nominal karena tidak terdapat adverb of time (keterangan waktu) yang spesifik dan juga terdapat adjective (kata sifat) “big” dan “strong” serta menunjukkan fakta tentang “elephants” (gajah) sehingga membutuhkan “to be” sebagai kata kerja.
Simple Present Tense adalah bentuk kata kerja untuk menyatakan fakta, kebiasaan, atau kejadian yang terjadi pada saat ini.
Rumus Nominal Simple Present Tense:
(+) Subject + to be (is/am/are) + O/C
(-) Subject + to be (is/am/are) + not + O/C
(?) To be (is/am/are) + Subject + O/C + ?
“Am”, ”are”, dan “is” merupakan “to be” present. “To be” merupakan auxiliary verb (kata kerja bantu) yang dibutuhkan untuk membentuk sebuah kalimat yang memang membutuhkannya.
Penggunaan “to be” present adalah sebagai berikut:
Subject ————-> To be
I —————-> am
You ————> are
We ————-> are
They ———–> are
He —————> is
She ————–> is
It —————–> is
Selain itu, subjek yang jamak (plural) menggunakan to be “are” sedangkan subjek tunggal (singular) menggunakan to be “is”.
Soal:
“Elephants ____ big and strong animals.” (Gajah ____ hewan yang besar dan kuat.)
Bentuk kalimat tersebut adalah kalimat positif (+). Subjeknya adalah “elephants” yang merupakan subjek jamak (plural) sehingga “to be” yang tepat adalah “are”.
Kalimatnya menjadi “Elephants are big and strong animals.” (Gajah adalah hewan yang besar dan kuat.)
Oleh karena itu, jawaban yang benar adalah “d. are”.
