Practical English Grammar AJ Thompson & AV Martinet

Berikut kami sajikan contoh penggunaan kalimat bentuk Future Tense. Sebagian bahan kami sarikan dari buku Practical English Grammar (AJ Thompson & AV Martinet).Semoga bisa menambah pemahaman dalam menguasai pelajaran bahasa Inggris.  


 Future Tense

Kegunaan:

  1. Bentuknya simple present tapi untuk menyatakan future

The boys start school on Monday. meski lebih umum dipakai: The boys are starting school        

I leave tonight

·       Im leaving tonight : keputusan bulat, sedang I leave tonight: salahsatu rencana tapi tidak berarti dibuat oleh si subjek

·       “Simple present” terkesan lebih formal ketimbang “Simple Continuous”. A big store planning to open a new branch is more likely to say Our new branch opens next week than Our new branch is opening next week

·       “Simple persent” kadang digunakan kala “present continuous” terkesan tidak efisien, khususnya saat membicarakan rangkaian agenda aktivitas, seperti rencana perjalanan: We leave at six, arrive in Dublin at ten and take the plan on... kalimat ini lebih ringkas ketimbang:  We are leaving at six, arriving in Dublin at ten and taking  the plane on...

Untuk jadwal rutin bersubjek moda transportasi, harus menggunakan simple past: My train leaves at six, the Boat sails in the morning

Parni (who is getting tired of driving to jakarta): I know what to do. I’ll take commuter line and keep my car near the station

Ali (on receiving  a call saying his father is ill): I’ll go home tonight/ I’ll leave tonight

·       “will” digunakan untuk hal aksidental/ yang tak direncanakan sebelumnya, seperti contoh di atas. Namun untuk aktivitas yang disebutkan kembali, gunakan “present continuous”:

 

Temon: What are you having/ going to have?

Badu: I’m having/ going to have soto tangkar and orange juice   

 

Ani: I’d better order a gojek for tonight.  Rhoma: Dont bother. I’ll drive you.

Ali: I’ll go home tonight/ I’ll leave tonight. Again, Ali say: I’m going home tonight
