But I think the word “came” in the question number 9 should be replaced by “come” since “can” and other modals always followed by verb-1.

I think my answers are exactly the same as Kadaneva’s.
Â
1. C. No (they aren’t). They have just moved to Dallas.
It’s the first category of the present perfect tense usage. We can also use the simple past tense,
No (they aren’t). They just moved to Dallas.
2. C. The color didn’t match, so I returned it to the store.
3. C. Yes, I like her better than before
4. D. I’ve been feeling better since the doctor came
5. D. Yes, that’s why I go to work by train.
6. D. I will have worked there for two years by next month
7. C. Luckily, I have sent it already
8. B. Yes, we have gone there since we first moved to Medan.
9. A. Yes, I will have finished meeting my client at the bank by then.
10. B. They were hungry, so they went to the canteen.
11. A. No, he had already gone when I came.
12. C. Had you studied a lot before you took it?
13. B. Thanks, but I have seen it already.
14. B. I watched TV, practiced the violin, and did my homework.
Parallel structure in the simple past tense.
15. B. because his parrot flew away.
16. B. I had planned to go, but I got sick at the last minute. Then, I cancelled it.
17. B. When Fajar wants to cut his hair, he has been going to the same barber since 2000.
18. D. Did you say that you had come here three days ago?
It’s an indirect speech of a direct speech in the simple past tense- “you came here three days ago”.
 19. D. Tom Did
20. C. (Fay was born) in Surabaya, but today she lives in Jakarta
@@Boby: Let’s discuss especially those that are still doubtful to you.

Sir..maaf sy posting pertanyaan di sini..msh tentang tenses..sy msh bingung dan tdk yakin apakah ini benar/tdk..mohon bantuan untuk mengoreksinya..
the morning always comes every day
but the flowers still awaits
the wind blows out there and here
the wind blows out there and here
but the cloud is not tired to follow
the river’s water flows is in uncertain
but the fishes does not care
the beach is difficult to get found
but the waves does not desperate to get the edge
the sky is dark at night
but the moon and the stars never gone
It is like myself
when I need you every day

Dan mana penulisan yang benar…everyday atau every day..
Terima kasih.

Hi Lia,
And, here are my suggestions.

Thank you very much for your suggestions, corrections, and reminding me about a capital letter and period, sir.  My English is really bad, because I’m a beginner. But I think it’s good if I try to using English although I had too much mistakes
I want to increase my vocabulary fast. So do you have advices or suggestions for me?
Thank you.

Don’t worry about the mistakes. We’re all still learning. And speaking of how to expand your vocabulary fast, I don’t have other suggestions to offer except those pointed out on Mengapa Kemampuan Bahasa Inggris Saya Kurang Berkembang.

Thank you very much, Sir. I’ve read it, but until now I still don’t understand this: how can I speaking or writing in English without thinking Indonesian. It means I always thinking Indonesian then I translate it in English. My friend also reminding me about that when we were chatting. She said, leave your Indonesian! Just thinking in English! Buuut, I can’t.
Sir, which is correct: Bhaskara Sir or Sir Bhaskara?
Thank you.

Lia, I’ve ever heard about that, too. And I’ve also ever read that we shouldn’t force ourselves to speak English before we are ready. In order to think in English, they said, we must listen as much as possible til we can think in English. And after we can do that we will speak in English automatically.

Sir and Kanadeva, thank you very much. Actually I get more reading and writing than listening and speaking. So, I’ll note it.
@Sir, you haven’t answered my question, which is correct between ‘Bhaskara Sir’ and ‘ Sir Bhaskara’, because my Indian friends always said ‘ Andre Sir’ and I say ‘ Sir Andre’, ‘Ma’am Rita’ not ‘Rita Ma’am’.

Sorry for missing that.
Tidak pernah saya dengar atau lihat sir atau ma’am digunakan setelah nama. Sir atau ma’am umumnya tidak diikuti oleh nama.
Kalau disertai dengan nama, umumnya digunakan Mr. Mrs. atau Miss. Dan nama itu pada umumnya adalah nama belakang (last name atau surname). Mr. Mrs. atau Miss juga bisa diikuti oleh nama depan atau nama lengkap, tetapi sedikit kurang formal.

Ya, itu yang saya pelajari, sir. Tetapi dalam kenyataannya ketika saya mempunyai beberapa teman dari India, saya menjadi bingung. Saya tahu hal itu dari FB mereka. Mereka selalu menggunakan ‘sir’ di belakang nama seperti yang saya posting di atas. Dan juga mereka menggunakan ‘ years back’ dan bukan ‘ years ago‘. Dan mengenai nama setelah ‘sir’ atau ‘ma’am’ itu saya jadi terbiasa belakangan ini karena hampir semua anak di sebuah sekolah menggunakan hal itu, dan si teacher diam saja dan tidak pernah menegur kalau itu adalah hal yang ‘aneh’ atau salah, sehingga saya pikir itu diperbolehkan/biasa di dalam prakteknya.

Well, penggunaan titles (Mr. sir, Mrs. Ms. ma’am, madam, dst) di tiap negara, atau bahkan di tiap region di suatu negara terkadang  tidak sama. Sebagai contoh, di American English, saya tidak pernah dengar bule bilang:Â
Tetapi, di sinetron Indonesia, kita sering dengar dialog, kurang lebih sbb:
Karena asing bagi saya, penggunaan Mr seperti yang di sinetron itu sempat saya tanyakan kepada Mr. Clayton Balitho, “Is it formal or acceptable in Australia to address someone with Mr like that ?”. And, beliau bilang, “Yes”. So, Lia, silakan tanyakan kepada teman India itu apakah penggunaan sir dan ma’am seperti itu formal or acceptable di India, atau hanya bahasa gaul di FB?

Selamat Tahun Baru untuk Anda, sir dan juga semua yang menggunakan situs ini
Sir, saya sudah menanyakan itu, dan ternyata itu memang digunakan dalam bahasa Inggris India dalam situasi informal antara orang-orang yang sudah akrab. Jadi mereka sudah biasa menggunakan ‘ Ronny sir “ atau ” madam Jasmine “.
Dan terima kasih karena sudah menjawab semua pertanyaan saya, sir. Sekarang saya akan melanjutkan untuk mempelajari banyak pelajaran yang ada di situs ini
