~ Seratus Soal Plus Kunci Jawaban dari Enam Belas Tenses

Mata Kuliah "Intensive English"

Lecturer,

Mr. Saiful Masri, M, Pd

Tugas ini sebenarnya tugas sewaktu semester I, tetapi Hera rasa penting sekali untuk memposting ke blog ini sebagai kenang-kenangan dari dosen Hera yang sebenarnya sedikit "Killer" hehe, tapi berkat beliau lah, alhamdulillah, tenses bukan lagi hal yang begitu menakutkan, menguasai tenses adalah suatu keharusan bagi mahasiswa khususnya prodi bahasa Inggris baik itu kesastraan maupun keguruan.

Tugas membuat seratus soal tenses beserta kunci jawabannya, wow, daripada Hera asal-asalan, Hera hunting buku deh ke Gramedia, banyaak banget buku tenses di sana, tapi yang memenuhi kriteria seratus soal beserta kunci jawabannya sangat susah dicari, sebenarnya ada yang lebih dari itu, sampai ribuan juga ada, tapi harganya...hmmm selangit (lebay kwkwk).

Akhirnya Hera putuskan untuk hunting selanjutnya ke Toko Buku Kharisma, entah kenapa ga kepikiran hunting ke perputakaan umum, nah di Kharisma lah Hera menemukan buku yang sangat pas di hati...isinya singkat tetapi padat dan jelas, gampang dimengerti, tulisannya berwarna dan bahan bukunya bagus jadi tidak gampang sobek, plus covernya yang menarik dan tebal, dan yang pasti harga bukunya murah banget, hanya sekitar dua puluh ribuan saja.

So, satu-satunya sumber dari tugas ini adalah buku tersebut dengan judul “PROGRAM CERDAS KUASAI 16 TENSES” karya I. Didimus Manulang, S.S.

Bagi adik-adik yang dapat tugas serupa, atau hanya sekedar ingin menguji penguasaan tenses kalian, boleh deh copas dari blog ini, hitung-hitung sedekah ilmu, karena kita semua tahu bahwa kini, menguasai bahasa Inggris adalah sebuah keharusan. Dan, tenses merupakan salah satu kuncinya. Jika kita dapat menguasai 16 tenses dalam bahasa Inggris, maka hampir pasti kita menguasai susunan kalimat bahasa Inggris yang baik dan benar.

Oke, makasih sudah mampir di blog Hera, jangan lupa berikan komentar yaa ...
