REVOLUSI DIGITAL BEBASIS AKHLAK Hamdani, Pengawas Sekolah, Tambun, Kabupaten Bekasi hamdani.5hp@gmail.com Kemajuan teknologi digital telah membawa perubahan signifikan dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan, termasuk dalam dunia pendidikan. Di era digital ini, pembelajaran tidak lagi terbatas pada ruang kelas fisik, melainkan dapat dilakukan secara daring dengan memanfaatkan berbagai platform teknologi. Hal ini memberikan kemudahan bagi peserta didik untuk mengakses ilmu kapan saja dan di mana saja. Namun, perkembangan teknologi juga menghadirkan tantangan baru, terutama dalam hal moral dan etika dalam proses pembelajaran. Tidak jarang, peserta didik kurang mengindahkan nilai-nilai akhlak saat berinteraksi di lingkungan digital, seperti kurang menghormati guru dalam pembelajaran daring atau menggunakan teknologi untuk hal-hal yang tidak sesuai dengan norma moral (Nasrul Hs, 2015) Rosulullah bersabda.  إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ لأُتَمِّمَ مَكَارِمَ الأَخْلاقِ Artinya: " Sesungguhnya aku d...

How to learn a Simple Past Tense easily?

 Learning a Simple Past Tense Easily

A. The Definition of Simple Past Tense

The simple past tense is a verb tense used to describe a completed action in the past. It is also called the preterite tense. In English, the simple past is formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of regular verbs, and irregular verbs have unique past tense forms. The simple past is often used to describe actions that happened at a specific time in the past or were completed in the past and are not continuing in the present. Examples of simple past tense sentences include "I walked to the store yesterday" and "She ate breakfast early this morning

B. The Adverbs of Frequency

Adverbs of frequency describe how often an action occurs, and they can be used with the simple past tense to indicate how often an action happened in the past. Here are some examples of adverbs of frequency that can be used with the simple past tense:

Always: I always went to school early.

Usually: We usually ate dinner together as a family.

Often: They often visited their grandparents on the weekends.

Sometimes: She sometimes forgot her keys at home.

Rarely: He rarely missed a deadline at work.

Hardly ever: They hardly ever went to the beach on weekends.

Never: I never liked spinach as a child.

Note that the placement of the adverb of frequency is before the main verb in a sentence in the simple past tense.

C. The Pattern of Simple Past Tense

The Pattern of Simple Past Tense

The simple past tense is used to describe actions or events that happened in the past and are now completed. The pattern for regular verbs in the simple past tense is:

Subject + verb (past tense) + object

For example:

I walked to the store.

She played soccer yesterday.

They watched a movie last night.

The past tense of regular verbs is formed by adding -ed to the base form of the verb. However, there are some spelling rules that need to be followed depending on the verb's ending:

If the verb ends in -e, add -d. (e.g. love -> loved)

If the verb ends in a consonant + y, change the y to i and add -ed. (e.g. study -> studied)

If the verb ends in a single vowel + consonant, double the consonant and add -ed. (e.g. stop -> stopped)

For irregular verbs, the past tense form is not formed by adding -ed. Instead, they have their own unique past tense forms that need to be memorized. Some examples of irregular verbs in the simple past tense are:

go -> went

eat -> ate

do -> did

see -> saw

It's important to note that there are some verbs that have the same base form and past tense form, such as cut, hurt, and put. In these cases, context is important in determining which tense is being used

C. The Negative and Interrogative Sentences

 

The Negative and Interrogative Sentences

To form the negative and interrogative sentences in the simple past tense, we use the auxiliary verb "did" followed by the base form of the main verb.

Negative sentences:

Subject + did not (didn't) + base form of verb + object

For example:

I didn't walk to the store.

She didn't play soccer yesterday.

They didn't watch a movie last night.

Interrogative sentences:

Did + subject + base form of verb + object?

For example:

Did you walk to the store?

Did she play soccer yesterday?

Did they watch a movie last night?

Note that in the interrogative sentence, "did" is used to form the question and the main verb is in its base form (not past tense). In the negative sentence, "did not" is contracted to "didn't".

For irregular verbs, the base form of the verb is used for both affirmative and negative sentences, as well as interrogative sentences. For example:

Affirmative: He ate breakfast this morning.

Negative: He didn't eat breakfast this morning.

Interrogative: Did he eat breakfast this morning?
