Basic Grammar ala Kampung Inggris

22. Past Future & Past Future Continuous

Baca judulnya aja bingung. Ini tenses maksudnya gimana ya? Past future... masa lalu - masa yang akan datang? yang kayak apa sih sebenarnya past future itu?

Past Future & Past Future Continuous disebut juga dengan untrue/ unreal (contrary to fact) di dunia present ataupun future. Untrue (contrary to fact) yang dimaksud adalah bertentangan dengan fakta yang ada saat ini maupun nanti di masa yang akan datang. Tenses ini lebih cenderung untuk kalimat pengandaian. Misal nih kalimatnya kayak gini: Kalau aku ada disana sekarang, aku akan membuatkanmu nasi goreng. Faktanya, aku nggak ada disana sekarang ini. Jadi aku nggak bisa buatin kamu nasi goreng.

Biar nggak makin penasaran, yuk dibaca-baca dulu.

1. Bermakna 'akan' dalam Conditional Sentence (penjelasan lengkap di bab conditional sentence yak)

e.g.:

fact: He is not here. (Faktanya, dia tidak ada disini sekarang)

2. Bermakna 'akan' dalam Reported Speech (penjelasan lengkap di bab Reported Speech yak)

Direct speech: She said, "I will buy a new car."

Indirect speech: She said that she would buy a new car.

3. Bermakna 'seharusnya' atau 'akan' untuk menyatakan rencana yang gagal (kegiatan yang akan dilakukan di masa lampau tapi belum terlaksana)

e.g.:

- I would come to your house, but it was heavily raining. (aku seharusnya datang ke rumahmu, tapi hujan deras sehingga aku tidak datang ke rumahmu)
