Dua hal perlu diketahui peserta didik bahwa (1) unsur verbal dalam
kalimat bukan hanya terdiri dari satu kata, tetapi minimal dua kata (finite
+ predikat), (2) dalam bentuk positif unsur finite dan predikat tersebut
‘menyatu’ dalam bentuk ‘preterite’ atau ‘past’ (a.l. did go = went, did play
= played, did write = wrote). Tetapi dalam bentuk negatif dan pertanyaan,
tetap digunakan bentuk finite+predikat. Oleh karena itu peserta didik
perlu dibiasakan untuk menghafal perubahan bentuk predikat tersebut.
Logika perubahan bentuk tersebut tidak dapat dijelaskan, tetapi hanya
dapat dihafalkan. Hal ini hanya dapat dikuasai dengan banyak ‘bergaul’
dengan teks secara bermakna.
