Rutinitas Kerja Seorang Pro: Dari Kopi Pagi Sampai Deadline
Menceritakan kebiasaan dan jadwal kerja dengan present simple (he/she + s), kata keterangan frekuensi, dan bentuk tidak (don't/doesn't).
Cerita rutinitas = tulang punggung obrolan kerja
"Jam berapa mulai kerja?", "Seberapa sering rapat?", "Biasanya kirim laporan kapan?" — semuanya dijawab dengan present simple, tenses yang paling sering dipakai di dunia kerja.
Aturan emas: -s untuk he / she / it
| Subjek | Kata kerja | Contoh |
|---|---|---|
| I / you / we / they | bentuk dasar | I start work at 8. |
| he / she / it | + s (atau es) | She starts work at 9. |
- Berakhiran -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -o → tambah -es: watch → watches, go → goes, finish → finishes.
- Berakhiran konsonan + y → -ies: study → studies, reply → replies.
- Khusus: have → has (She has a meeting).
Kata keterangan frekuensi
| Kata | Arti | Contoh |
|---|---|---|
| always | selalu | I always check my email first. |
| usually | biasanya | We usually meet on Mondays. |
| often | sering | He often works late. |
| sometimes | kadang-kadang | She sometimes works from home. |
| never | tidak pernah | I never miss a deadline. |
Letaknya: sebelum kata kerja utama (I always check), tetapi sesudah to be (I am always busy).
Bentuk tidak: don't / doesn't
I don't work on weekends.
She doesn't answer calls after 6 PM. (setelah doesn't, kata kerja KEMBALI ke bentuk dasar)Kesalahan umum: She doesn't works → She doesn't work. Hanya satu kata yang membawa tanda "he/she": doesn't, jadi kata kerjanya polos.
Bertanya: Do / Does
Do you work from home? — Yes, I do. / No, I don't.
Does she speak English? — Yes, she does.Contoh jadwal harian
I wake up at 6. I usually check my email at 8.
My team has a meeting at 10 every Monday.
I never work after 9 PM.
