learning tenses, better if we know the form of the sentence.

groups:

 I like to listen the jazz music. ( Saya suka mendengar
music jazz.)

bersama. )

sentences can be classified into:
a. Positive verbal sentence

this phrase is used to declare an event or action.

 They walk to the school.(Dia berjalan kesekolah.)
 I helped my mother after school.(Saya membantu ibuku
setelah sekolah)
 He take some pictures at there.(Dia mengambil beberapa
foto di sana)
b. Negative verbal sentence
This will be negative sentences by adding 'do / does / did + not'
before verb.
For example:
 The do not (don’t) walk to the school. (Mereka tidak
berjalan kaki ke sekolah.)
 I did not (didn’t) help my mother after school. (saya tidak
membantu ibu sayang setelah sekolah.)
 He does not (doesn’t) take some pictures at there. (Dia

Last wednesday, I came late to my school because I played
playstation untill 2.00 am in the night. Because that I woke up late.
I woke up about 6.30 am and the class would be began at 7.00 am. I
ran to bathroom to take a bath. I usually had a breakfast after took
a bath, but in that day I did not do that.
I always went to school by my moyorcycle. But in that day, I
forgot where I put the key. So, I went to the school by public
transportion. It made me took a longer time. I arrived at school at
7.15 am, I ran to my class but I saw my teacher has stood in front of
the class to teach. I entered to my class and of course my teacher
was angry to me because I came late.
It was my bad experience and I hoped I would not do that
again.
