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”.
