PERHATIKAN:
‘Past continuous tense’ jarang digunakan dalam kalimat tunggal yang berdiri sendiri, tetapi sering digunakan dalam kalimat majemuk bertingkat (adverbial clause of time) dengan menggunakan kata penghubung (conjunctive) ‘while, when’, seperti berikut ini:
ADVERBIAL CLAUSE OF TIME
Adverbial clause of time adalah kalimat majemuk bertingkat yang terdiri atas satu induk kalimat dan satu atau lebih anak kalimat, dimana anak kalimat berfungsi sebagai penjelas (keterangan waktu) terhadap induk kalimat.
Conjunctive ‘while’
Induk kalimat (main clause) bentuk ‘past tense’, dan anak kalimat bentuk ‘past contintinuous tense’.
SUBJ + VERB-2 (PAST) + OBJ + COMPL.
WHILE + SUBJ + WAS/ WERE + VERB-ING + OBJ + COMPL.
My mother cooked in the kitchen while I was doing my homework yesterday evening.
My father came home from his office while I was reading a magazine.
Kalimat di atas bisa juga diubah strukturnya dengan menempatkan anak kalimat pada awal kalimat. Perhatikan bahwa bila anak kalimat ditempatkan pada awal kalimat maka tanda (,) koma digunakan sebelum induk kalimat, seperti berikut:
WHILE + SUBJ + WAS/ WERE + VERB-ING + OBJ + COMPL.,
SUBJ + VERB-2 (PAST) + OBJ + COMPL.
While I was doing my homework yesterday evening, My mother cooked in the kitchen
While I was reading a magazine, My father came home from his office.
Anak kalimat dan induk kalimat bisa sama-sama bentuk ‘past continuous tense’ bila menggunakan ‘conjunctive while’ . Dengan demikian kalimat di atas bisa dibentuk seperti berikut:
While I was doing my homework yesterday evening, My mother was cooking in the kitchen
While I was reading a magazine, My father was coming home from his office.
Conjunctive ‘when’
Induk kalimat (main clause) bentuk ‘past continuous tense’, dan anak kalimat bentuk ‘past tense’.
SUBJ + WAS/ WERE + VERB-ING + OBJ + COMPL +
WHEN + SUBJ + VERB-2 (PAST) + OBJ + COMPL.
I was doing my homework yesterday evening When my mother cooked in the kitchen,
I was reading a magazine when my father came home from his office.
Kalimat di atas bisa juga diubah strukturnya dengan menempatkan anak kalimat pada awal kalimat. Perhatikan bahwa bila anak kalimat ditempatkan pada awal kalimat maka tanda (,) koma digunakan sebelum induk kalimat, seperti berikut:
WHEN + SUBJ + VERB-2 (PAST) + OBJ + COMPL + SUBJ + WAS/ WERE + VERB-ING + OBJ + COMPL.
When my mother cooked in the kitchen, I was doing my homework yesterday evening. When my father came home from his office, I was reading a magazine
