Jawaban dan Pembahasan

No Jawaban Penjelasan
penggunaan have atau has tergantung dengan subjeknya, dan subjek I
1 A
menggunakan have. Lihat tabel pada bagian bawah.
2 B budi (nama seseorang) merupakan salah satu subjek yang menggunakan has.
tenses yang digunakan adalah past perfect continuous, dalam tenses ini tidak
3 C
digunakan have atau has, namun hanya menggunakan had apapun subjeknya.
kalau tenses yang digunakan ini merupakan present perfect tense, jadi disini ada
pilihan mau menggunakan have atau has (had tidak digunakan dalam tense ini),
4 B nah mau menggunakan apa itu tergantung subjeknya, dan subjek Budi sudah jelas
menggunakan has. Dalam hal ini anda sangat perlu menguasai tense agar bisa
membedakan mau menggunakan have/has atau had.
lagi-lagi, dalam tense ini had tidak digunakan, pilihannya hanya have atau has, dan
5 B
tentu saja subjek Mr. Jordan menggunakan has.
tense yang digunakan adalah future perfect tense, dalam tense ini tidak ada pilihan
6 A penggunaan have atau has, atau bahkan had. Satu-satunya yang bisa digunakan
hanyalah have apapun subjeknya.
tense yang digunakan adalah future perfect continuous tense, peraturannya sama
7 A seperti soal no. 6 yaitu satu-satunya yang bisa digunakan hanyalah have apapun
subjeknya.
ini merupakan present perfect tense, jadi ada pilihan penggunaan have atau has,
8 A dan subjek the old women menggunakan have karena jamak, tunggalnya the old
woman.
ini juga merupakan present perfect tense, jadi ada pilihan penggunaan have atau
has, dan subjek the police juga menggunakan have karena merupakan subjek
9 A jamak (tunggalnya the police woman dan the police man). Jadi anda juga harus
memperhatikan apakah subjeknya itu jamak atau tunggal, karena subjek jamak
tidak selalu diikuti akhiran s.
ini merupakan past perfect tense, jadi tidak ada pilihan penggunaan have atau has,
10 C
hanya menggunakan had apapun subjeknya.

On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is

not far from Malioboro.
On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana,
Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and Syiwa
temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.

On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky
because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to
Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur
gate would be closed.

In the evening we left for Jakarta by wisata bus.
