B. Formula / Formula
▶️ Nominal Sentence
In nominal sentences, the predicate part is usually filled with to be . In the simple past tense , to be used is "was" for singular subjects and "were" for plural subjects. And also in this sentence it doesn't use a verb , but uses a noun, adjective, and adverb .
Sentente Noun Formula:
The simple past tense formula for positive, negative and interrogative sentences is:
(+) Subject + to be (was/were) + complement
(-) Subject + to be (was/were) + not + complement
(?) To be (was/were) + Subject + complement
Example :
( +) Andika was a pilot
(-) Andika was not a pilot
(?) Was Andika a pilot?
▶️ Verbal Sentences
As the name suggests, it is a verbal sentence, so this sentence will definitely use a verb . Well, as we all know, there are 3 types of verbs or verbs in that tense ( verb 1, verb 2, verb 3 ), and in the simple past tense the verb or verb used is verb 2 . Which means it is no longer a basic verb, but has changed form because it has been influenced by time (past).
The verbs or verbs used in this tense are divided into 2, regular verbs ( verbs that just add the ending -ed ) and irregular verbs ( verbs whose form is different from the basic verb ).
However, unlike the simple present tense , the verb or verb in the simple past tense will not be influenced by the subject used. So whatever subject is used, the verb form will remain the same.
There is one more thing that needs to be emphasized in simple past tense verbal sentences , namely that if the sentence is in negative and interrogative form, then the verb or verb that was previously in past form ( verb 2 ) changes back to the basic form of verb or verb 1 .
Example :
The following is an example of a simple past tense verbal sentence :
- (+) The nurse went to the hospital yesterday . (The nurse went to the hospital yesterday.)
- (-) The nurse didn't go to the hospital yesterday . (The nurse did not go to the hospital yesterday.)
- (?) Did the nurse go to the hospital yesterday ? (Did the nurse go to the hospital yesterday?)
