Pendahuluan
Bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa dunia atau bahasa internasional. Oleh karena itu bahasa Inggris sangat penting bagi kita, karena dalm era globalisasi ini kita butuh berkomunikasi dengan orang-orang di seluruh dunia. Artinya jika kita ingin mudah untuk berjalan-jalan ke seluruh pelosok dunia, kita harus bisa berbicara bahasa Inggris.
Salah satu solusi untuk mengatasi problem komunikasi yang dialami manusia dari pemilikan bahasa yang berbeda-beda, adalah bahasa Inggris, karena bahasa Inggris telah diakui oleh dunia sebagai bahasa komunikasi dunia..
Untuk itu bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa yang sangat penting untuk dipelajari. Sejak dini, anak-anak perlu dikenalkan dengan bahasa Inggris. Seperti kata pepatah, belajar di waktu muda bagai mengukir di atas batu, sedangkan belajar di waktu tua bagai mengukir di atas air.
Atas alasan itu, kami memiliki inisiatif untuk menyusun buku sebagai panduan bagi anak-anak yang ingin mendalami bahasa Inggris, yang kami beri judul “Tenses for Children”. Dengan harapan di samping anak-anak Indonesia bisa mahir berbicara bahasa Inggris dengan lancar, sebagai kaum terpelajar juga perlu tahu bahwa sebagai bahasa Internasional tentu bahasa Inggris memiliki standard bahasa, untuk menjaga bahasa tersebut dari kerusakan bahasa itu sendiri. Lebih-lebih dalam situasi/acara resmi, maka kita harus berusaha menggunakan bahasa Inggis dengan baik dan benar. Kebiasaan menggunakan bahasa Inggris yang tidak mengikuti kaidah-kaidah bahasa, maka akan mempersubur munculnya perusak-perusak bahasa dan dan akan mencetak guru bahasa Inggris yang tidak mampu menyalahkan kesalahan-kesalahan yang dilakukan/diperbuat oleh murid-murid/anak didiknya. Itulah sebabnya kami menyusun buku grammar sederhana ini untuk membantu anak-anak yang ingin memperdalam bahasa Inggris. Memang dalam taraf latihan/berlatih berbicara dan melatih keberanian untuk berbicara, maka grammar(tata bahasa) dapat diabaikan untuk sementara waktu agar tidak muncul keraguan dan takut salah dalam berbicara. Tapi bukan untuk benar-benar diabaikan yang mengakibatkan pemakaian bahasa Inggrisnya sangat belepotan dan sangat parah. Terlebih kalau yang sangat belepotan dalam berbicara itu seorang guru bahasa Inggris dan diketahui oleh muridnya yang pintar, maka akan sangat memalukan. Itulah perlunya mengetahui bahasa standard dalam bahasa Inggris.
Buku lain yang bisa mendukung untuk lebih menguasai bahasa Inggris dan sebagai pelengkap buku ini antara lain Grammar for Children, Enriching English, dan Dictionary for Kids.

Sebelum mempelajari tenses, alangkah lebih baiknya kita mengenal dulu mengenai kalimat verbal, kalimat non verbal, kalimat negatif, dan kalimat tanya.
Kalimat Verbal
Kalimat verbal adalah kalimat yang ada kata kerjanya. Maksudnya yaitu suatu kalimat yang predikatnya berupa kata kerja/verb.
Rumusnya yaitu :
subject + kata kerja + sisa kalimat
Contoh :
I play football
Saya bermain sepak bola
Kalimat Nonverbal
Kalimat non-verbal adalah kalimat yang tidak ada kata kerjanya. Maksudnya yaitu suatu kalimat yang predikatnya berupa non-verb(bukan kata kerja).
Rumusnya yaitu :
subject + to be + (non-verb) +sisa kalimat
Contoh :
I am in the kitchen
Saya di dapur
Kalimat Negatif
Kalimat negatif adalah kalimat yang menggunakan kata not (tidak) atau no(bukan/tidak)
Pada kalimat verbal, untuk membentuk kalimat negatifnya harus menambahkan kata kerja bantu + not di belakang subyek.
Rumusnya yaitu :
Subject + kk bantu (do/does/did) + not + kt kerja bentuk asli + sisa kalimat
Contoh :
I play football
(-) I do not play football
Saya tidak bermain sepakbola
He plays football
(-) He does not play football.
They played football yesterday.
(-) They did not play football yesterday.
Keterangan:
Kata have(mempunyai) jika langsung diikuti kata benda, maka negativenya menggunakan no.
Contoh: I have no books. (Saya tidak punya buku)
Pada kalimat nonverbal, untuk membentuk kalimat negatifnya hanya menambahkan not saja di belakang to be.
Rumusnya yaitu :
Subject + to be + not + sisa kalimat
Contoh :
I am in the kitchen
Saya di dapur
(-) I am not in the kitchen
Saya tidak di dapur
Kalimat Tanya
Kalimat tanya yaitu kalimat yang digunakan untuk bertanya atau menanyakan sesuatu.
Pada kalimat verbal, untuk membentuk kalimat tanya, kita harus menggunakan kata kerja bantu (auxiliary verb) yang diiletakkan di depan subyek, yaitu di awal kalimat.
Rumusnya yaitu :
kk bantu + subject + kata kerja bentuk asli + sisa kalimat + ?
Contoh :
I play football
Saya bermain sepak bola
(?) Do I play football?
Apakah saya bermain sepakbola?
Pada kalimat nonverbal, untuk membentuk kalimat tanya, kita hanya memindahkan to be ke depan subyek, yaitu ke awal kalimat).
Rumusnya yaitu :
to be + subject + sisa kalimat+tanda Tanya(?)
Contoh :
I am in the kitchen
Saya di dapur
(?) Am I in the kitchen?
Apakah saya di dapur?
Tenses
Tenses adalah suatu bentuk kata kerja yang disesuaikan dengan waktunya. ( A tense is a verb form associated with the time).
Ada 2 macam bentuk tenses yaitu:
1. Bentuk present(sekarang)
