Ini merupakan kalimat negative interogatif simple past tense, seperti halnya bentuk-bentuk kalimat lainnya dalam simple past tense, bentuk kalimat negative interogatif juga memiliki dua rumus yang dapat digunakan yaitu rumus 1. Was/were + S + not dan rumus 2. Did + S + not + verb 1 {bare infinitive}. Penggunaan dua rumus ini berbeda, rumus 1 digunakan ketika tidak terdapat ordinary verb (kata kerja utama), sedangkan rumus 2 digunakan ketika terdapat ordinary verb. Dalam soal tersebut tidak terdapat kata kerja utama (busy menggambarkan keadaan sibuk, bukan menyibukkan) sehingga menggunakan rumus 1.Rate this question:

Kalimat bentuk negative interogatif dalam past continuous tense, rumus yang digunakan adalah Was/were + S + not + verb.ing (Present participle). Seperti yang telah saya jelaskan sebelumnya bahwa kata not boleh diletakkan sebelum subjek (setelah was/were) namun harus disingkat menjadi wasn’t/weren’t, setelah itu tidak perlu meletakkan kata not lagi setelah subjek karena sudah diletakkan sebelumnya. Dan ingat, perhatikan subjeknya untuk menentukan apakah menggunakan was atau were.Rate this question:
