i worked in the office this morning. i came to work at 8 am and left at 7pm.

what were you doing at 3pm?

aha! kalimat jenis baru? iyep!

kalo kapan hari kita belajar soal simple past, sekarang kita belajar past continuous.
bedanya apa seehh? sama-sama lampau kan? jangan bikin bingung dueh!

begini.

simple past kita pakai ketika kita membicarakan sesuatu yang kita kerjakan diwaktu lampau. masih inget kan?

i went to school this morning.
she bought beautiful flowers for her boyfriend yesterday (emansipasi :p)

nah kalo past continuous kita pakai untuk mengatakan seseorang sedang melakukan sesuatu di satu periode waktu tertentu di masa lampau. pekerjaan telah dimulai tapi kita tidak tahu (tepatnya tidak menfokuskan) sudah selesai atau belum. ruwet ngga seeh? hihihi becanda dink!

pake contoh aja jah!

what was she doing at 11 this morning?
she was studying math.
dia sedang belajar matematika (jam 11 tadi pagi) dan kita tidak tahu apakah pas jam sebelas itu sudah selesai atau belum

eh digabungin bisa loh. maksudnya simple past ama pas continuous. lihat ini deh!

i saw tom in the market. he was doing grocery.
saya lihat tom di pasar. dia sedang berbelanja.

when i arrived, my parents were having dinner.
ketika saya tiba, orang tua saya sedang makan malam.

i cut my finger when i was cooking.
jari saya teriris ketika saya sedang memasak.

nah iyap! gabungan kek gini dipakai untuk menjelaskan sesuatu terjadi ketika sesuatu yang lain sedang terjadi.

so what where you doing at 8pm last saturday?
haaa? you were meeting a gorgeous guy?
