Bagaimana penggunaan 'been' dalam present perfect tense dan bagaimana contoh kalimatnya?
Perlu diingat bahwa, jika setelah have/has kita tidak memasukkan kata kerja, melainkan kita ingin memasukkan kata sifat /adjective, adverb atau kata keterangan dan juga noun, maka kita harus menambahkan ‘been’.
Rumus dan Contoh Kalimat:
(+) S + aux. verb(have/has) + been + adjective/adverb/noun
Riko has been late for 2 hours.
----------
(-) S + aux. verb(have/has) + not + been + adjective / adverb / noun
Riko has not been late for two hours
----------
(?) aux. verb(have/has) + S + been + adjective / adverb/ nouon
Has Riko been late for two hours? Yes, he has / No, he has not
----------
Pada contoh di atas, ‘late’ bukanlah kata kerja melainkan kata sifar atau adjective, maka kita harus menambahkan ‘been’.
Contoh lainnya:
- Where have you been? I have been the library.
- Have they been fine? Yes, they have / No, they have not
