I’m sorry miss about my delay to give feedbacks, it because some reason. :D

Ok, I would like to give some reviews and feedbacks for some group’s works, it’s about sentences use 5 tenses and about some grammatical errors.

This is my corrections :

Group 1

Present Tense

1. He goes to Jakarta to get the better job.

     It will be right if the word “the better” change with “a better”. As i know "better" is using when we
       compere something(comparative degree) “like better than” but if your meaning “most” it should write
       “the best”.

So, you should write “He goes to Jakarta to get a better job.”

Past Perfect Tense

2. I had read the book three times in week.

I see it will be perfect if you give “a” before week

So it will be “ I had read the book three times in a week”

Group 4
Present Tense
1. I always washes my face and brushes my teeth before going to bed.

Look at the Formula of Simple Present Tense is : I/You/We/They + V1

He/She/It + V1 +s/es

So, washes and brushes is wrong, you should write

"I always wash my face and brush my teeth before going to bed".

Present Continuous Tense

2. My friend are helping me to solve my problem.

If your meaning is many friends you should give “s” in my friend word.

"My friends are helping me to solve my problem".

But if your meaning is just one friend you should use “is” .

"My friend is helping me to solve my problem".

Group 5

Past perfect tense

1. The thief had run away after he got alot of money from the bank.

This tense use to explain that an activity already happen at the past before other activity happen.

And if we want to write past perfect we must write first activity as reason next activity like “ got

a lot of money (above sentence)“ before next activity like “run away”

I think the correct sentence is “ The thief run away after he had gotten a lot of money from the

Bank”

Group 7

Past Continuous Tense
1. Yuli was watching television when I cleaned the floor.

When is used to explain an activities that need short time, and while is opposite with when. Cleaned the floor and watching television is same need a long time for do it.

So, The correct sentence is “ Yuli was watching television while I was cleaning the floor.”

Past Perfect Tense and Past Tense
2. I had played football after I exercised.

Because “excercise” doing before “play football”, so you should use Past Perfect for “exercise”

and Past Tense for “play football”.

So the correct sentence is “I played football after I had exercised”.

“I played football after I had exercised” or “I had exercised before i played football”

Group 9

Simple Past Tense
1. I bought many clothes to my family.

From above sentence, using to is exact less . you should use “for” not “to”, it will be better.

So the correct sentence is “I bought many clothes for my family”.

Past Perfect

2. Fauzy had sent me a email before he called yesterday.

Using “a” in above sentence is wrong, it should use ”an” because first word character is Vocal

Character, So, you should write Fauzy had sent me an email before he called yesterday.

Group 10

Present Continuous
1. Don't go anywhere! our office boy is making some glass of coffee for us.

As we know if we use “some” it means plural, so you should write “some glasses”

So, It will be “Don't go anywhere! our office boy is making some glasses of coffee for us”

Present Tense
2. This annual report is not complete, please check your notes and say to me as soon as possible.

I'm really need this document.

The formula of present tense for affirmative sentence is S + Verb 1+Object, so to be “am” above

should delete.

So, You should write “This annual report is not complete, please check your notes and say to me

as soon as possible. I really need this document.

Past tense
3. This product was expired, you have to saw the labels before you bought it.

As i know have to followed by V1,

So you should write “This product was expired, you have to see the labels before you bought it.

Past Continuous
4. I was recording supplies inventory while my partner moved this car.
5. Vitta was making some cakes while her mother went to the market.

For two sentences above you better use “when” not “while” because it’s short activity (for when)

      So, you should write :
4.        "I was recording supplies inventory when my partner moved this car to the parking area”
5.         “Vitta was making some cakes when her mother went to the market”

Past Perfect
6. Novi had written her job to makes some business plan, she must bring it to the director

tommorow morning as soon as possible.

Review the formula : He/she/it + v1+s/es.

You should write “she must brings it to the director”

Group 13

Present Continuous Tense

1. They are having dinner with my sister in the seafood restaurants at 7.30 p.m tonight.

I think “restaurants” is written without “s” because it means many restaurants.

You should write “ They are having dinner with my sister in the seafood restaurant at 7.30 p.m tonight”

Simple Past Tense

2. We ate delicious snack and played some game last night.

Actually if we use some it means plural, so you should write “some games”

So, It will be “ We ate delicious snack and played some games last night”

Past Continuous Tense

3. She was reading a Novel with me in the terrace, when you come here.
As i know “come” is for present tense, so if you use past continues tense you can use V2 for past tense.
You should write “She was reading a novel with me in terrace when you came here”
