Masih adakah yang bingung mengenai perbedaan kalimat Present Perfect Tense dengan Present Perfect Continuous tense? Yups, jika masih kalian membuka lembaran eh halaman ini sangat tepat. Karena author yang baik hati ini akan mengingatkan kembali apa sih perbedaan kedua jenis tenses itu? Pentingkah mengetahuinya? Ya jelas penting dong, karena aturan di setiap grammar dalam bahasa inggris pasti memimiliki makna khusus walaupun agak mirip seperti halnya kasus present perfect dan present perfect continuous tense ini.
Present perfect tense digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian, peristiwa (event) yang telah terjadi atau baru saja selesai terjadi, sekarang mengakibatkan efeknya. Misalnya saja:
– Mia has drunk much water. (Mia telah minum banyak air), Mia baru saja selesai minum air, sekarang sudah tidak haus lagi, begitulah kira-kira maksud kalimat tersebut.
– Ella and I have gone to London since 7 p.m (Ella dan aku sudah pergi ke London sejak jam 7 sore, dan sudah sampai London), jadi sekarang aku dan Ella sudah tidak ada di rumah,
– I have eaten all your Sandwiches in refrigerator due to my hungriness. (aku sudah makan semua sandwiches di kulkas karena kelaparan), dan sekarang akibatnya saya sudah kenyang, begitulah maksud dari kalimat tersebut.
Nah sekarang bagaimana dengan present perfect continuous tense? Kalimat Present perfect continuous tenseadalah kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian yang sudah terjadi/ mulai terjadi dan sekarang belum selesai. Misalnya:
– Mia has been drinking much water. (Mia telah minum banyak air), Mia baru saja minum air dan sekarang masih berlanjut minum air, dengan kata lain ia belum selesai minum.
– Ella and I have been going to London since 7 p.m (Ella dan aku sudah pergi ke London sejak jam 7 sore dan belum sampai London), beda bukan dengan contoh sebelumnya?
– I have been eating all your Sandwiches in refrigerator due to my hungriness. (aku sudah makan semua sandwiches di kulkas karena kelaparan), dan sekarang belum selesai makan.
