Penjelasan:

1, 2, 3, 5 dan 8 adalah kalimat lampau (simple past tense). Jadi menggunakan bentuk kata kerja kedua (verb 2). Bisa dikihat dari oenada waktu: last week, yesterday, in 2005, dll.

4 bisa menggunakan present perfect atau present perfect continous. Ada penggunaan kata 'since' yg menyatakan kl Mr Dimas sdh bekerja dr tahun 1999 dan masih berkerja hingga sekarang.

6, 9 dan 10 menyatakan aktifitas yg sdh dilakukan selama beberapa waktu lalau dan masih berlanjut. Jd menggunakan Present perfect continous tense

7 menggunakan bentuk present perfect (negatif) haven't + verb 4 (past participle)

Hope it helps
