Kunci jawaban

1.      Jawaban C

Kata “used to “ digunakan untuk membandingkan waktu lampau dan waktu kini, dan seringkali menunjukkan makna kebiasaan atau pengulangan. (Zandvoort, 1980:84).

2.      Jawaban A

Kata “had” dalam kalimat tersebut berarti “menyuruh” dan membentuk struktur “causative”aktif, sehingga kata kerja dibelakangnya harus berbentuk infinitive tanpa “to”, yaitu “practice” (berlatih).

3.      Jawaban B

Salah satu ungkapan bahasa Inggris untuk menyatakan “lebih baik” adalah “had better +V1”. Jadi , “had better reserve” (lebih baik memesan) merupakan pilihan yang tepat untuk kalimat tersebut.

4.      Jawaban A

Kata bantu dalam “question tag” didasarkan pada kata kerja dalam kalimat yang terkait. Kata kerja dalam kalimat positif tersebut berupa V2 (past tense) “used to”, sehingga kata kerja bantu yang digunakan untuk melengkapi QT-nya yang tepat adalah “didn’t.  Apabila kata kerja nya kalimat positif adalah V1 plus “-s”, maka QT-nya “don’t”. Jika kata kerjanya V₁ plus “-s”, QT-nya “doesn’t”. Apabila kata kerja kalimat berupa be (can, will, could, would), maka cukup menambahkan not setelahnya untuk membentuk QT.

5.      Jawaban A

Ungkapan “the first to break” dalam kalimat terebut berasal dari bentuk panjang “the first man who broke”. Frasa “man who broke” dengan kata kerja bentuk lampau ini dapat diganti dengan struktur “to +V1”, yaitu “to break”.
