Kunci Jawaban Bahasa Inggris Kelas 9 Halaman 128 129, Underline The First Actions

TRIBUNNEWS.COM - Kunci jawaban Bahasa Inggris kelas 9 halaman 128 Kurikulum Merdeka menjawab pertanyaan berdasarkan cerita pengalaman Monita ketika berada di Taman Nasional Bunaken untuk melakukan snorkeling (menyelam dangkal).

Soal tersebut ada di buku English for Nusantara | untuk SMP/MTs Kelas IX oleh Ika Lestari Damayanti dkk terbitan Kementerian Pendidikan tahun 2022.

Soal halaman 128 termasuk dalam Bab 2 atau Chapter 2 | Taking Trips, yang berisi materi bagaimana cara menceritakan perjalanan ke suatu tempat dalam bahasa Inggris.

Pada materi Unit 3. My Underwater Adventure, siswa akan berlatih menceritakan pengalaman berpetualang di bawah air.

Di halaman 127, terdapat materi Section 3 - Language Focus, yang membahas tentang cara menggabungkan dua peristiwa di masa lalu dalam bahasa Inggris.

Ketika kita membicarakan dua peristiwa yang terjadi bersama di masa lalu, kita dapat menggabungkannya dengan simple past (Subject + Verb 2) dan past continuous tense (Subject + To be bentuk 2 + Verb-ing).

Peristiwa pertama biasanya menggunakan past continuous tense.

Sementara simple past tense digunakan untuk menceritakan peristiwa kedua ketika peristiwa pertama masih berlangsung.

Contohnya dalam cerita Monita dalam kalimat While I was swimming a little further down (past continuous tense), I saw green sea turtles (simple past).

Peristiwa pertama adalah "While I was swimming a little further down (Ketika aku sedang berenang sedikit ke bawah)", lalu datang peristiwa kedua yaitu "I saw green sea turtles (aku melihat kura-kura laut hijau)."

Dari kalimat tersebut dapat dipahami bahwa Monita mulai berenang sebelum melihat kura-kura laut hijau.

Ketika kita hendak menggabungkan dua peristiwa di masa lalu dalam satu kalimat, kita terkadang membutuhkan "The conjunctions" (kata hubung) seperti while atau when.

Setelah memahami materi tersebut, siswa akan diberikan soal latihan sederhana.

Siswa harus menjawab soal tersebut secara mandiri berdasarkan cerita Monita.

Sementara orang tua/wali membantu siswa untuk melihat pada kunci jawaban sebagai pembanding jawaban siswa.
