1). find the theory about these tenses, the function and give 5 examples of each tense !!   
A. Simple present tense is a verb form to state the facts, habits, or events that occur at this time. The verb form is most commonly used in the English language. Simple present tense is formed from the verb-1 (present tense) or linking verb "be" (is, am, are). What is the verb-1? Verb-1 is a bare infinitive with additional -s or -es (eg verb-1: does, goes, wants) specifically for subjectberupa singular noun (singular noun: Tita, book, car) or the third person singular pronoun (the pronoun The third single: she, he, it); or without modification (eg verb-1: do, go, want) to the subject in the form of a plural noun (boys, men, books) or plural pronouns (we, they), pronoun I / you, or a compound subject (you and me, Tina and Ruth).

B. Present Continuous Tense is tense form which refers to the ongoing action now or when the talks were ongoing. So that action has already begun, and is not over when the conversation took place. In addition, this tense can also be used for the kind of action that lasts only for a short period of time. We can also use this tense to talk about a change or the ongoing developments in a long time span. Subject + Verb to be + - ing + object
Forms of "to be" (am, is, are)
• Single Subject
I - am
He - is
She - is
• Subject Plural
We - are
You - are
They - are

(-)  Rina isn't dancing a traditional dance.
(?)  Is Rina dancing a traditional dance?
           
(+) He is learning French.
(-)  He isn't learning French.
(?)  Is he learning French?

C). Simple past tense is a form of the verb used to express activities or events that do or occurred in the past. The past can be a long time ago, a few years ago, a few months ago, a couple of weeks, days, or even a few hours ago. As was mentioned above that in the simple past tense, change the verbs used are changes in the second form of the verb (verb2). In general, changes in the form of both verbs are always followed by the suffix "ed", changes in general is called the regular verb. However, in practice, not all the changes both verb followed by the suffix "ed", this is called irregular verb. So you have to be really careful to distinguish where the verb is classified as a regular verb (irregular verbs) and where the verb is classified as an irregular verb (irregular verb).
Example Simple Past Tense
(+) I watched Superman vs Batman last week.
(-) I didn’t watch Superman vs Batman last week
(?) Did you watch Superman vs Batman last week

(+) I slept at 9 pm last night
(-) I didn’t sleep at 9 pm last night
(?) Did you sleep at 9 pm last night

(+) He needed money last week
(-) He didn’t need money last week
(?) Did he need money last week?

(+) He felt lonely last month
(-) He didn’t feel lonely last month
(?) Did he feel lonely last month

(+) He became a doctor last year
(-) He didn’t become a doctor last year
(?) Did he become a doctor last year

D). Past continuous tense is a form of the verb used to express two things, namely:
Functions 1. Used to describe an activity or event that is taking place at a certain time in the past
As an example :
At 9 last night, I was watching TV. (At 9 o'clock last night, I was watching TV.)
From the example above, what is meant by a certain time is At 9 last night, while for activities or events going on is I was watching TV.
2. Functions Used to describe an activity or event is in progress when the activity or other events coming interrupt past
As an example :
I was watching TV when my younger brother cried. (I was watching TV when my sister was crying.)
Activities or events going on is I was watching TV, while for activities or events that interrupt is my younger brother cried.
Example Past Continous Tense
 a)     I was writing for 5 hours yesterday.
b)    I was reading the hottest news when she came.
c)     Mr. Prio was always coming late to the meetings last year.
d)    I was wondering if you could love me completely
e)     At midnight, we still waiting for Andi.

2). –Subject – Verb agreement
Subject-verb agreement is a rapprochement between the verb (a verb) with the subject line in terms of number, namely: singular (singular) or plural (plural). Subjects can be either a noun (noun), pronoun (pronoun), or other construction acting as a noun, like gerund and infinitive. Basically, the singular subject (single subject) use the singular verb (singular verb), while plural subject (subject plural) using a plural verb (verb plural).
Example Sentences Subject-Verb Agreement [subject = bold; verb = italic]:


























3). What is pronoun? Find the kinds of pronoun!!
What is a Pronoun?
In grammar, a pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that may be substituted for a noun or noun phrase, which once replaced, is known as the pronoun’s antecedent. How is this possible? In a nutshell, it’s because pronouns can do everything that nouns can do. A pronoun can act as a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, and more.
Without pronouns, we’d have to keep on repeating nouns, and that would make our speech and writing repetitive, not to mention cumbersome. Most pronouns are very short words. Examples include:
ü  He
ü  She
ü  They
ü  It
ü  We
ü  Who 

Examples of Pronouns
In the following examples, the pronouns are italicized.
Ø  We are going on vacation.
Ø  Don’t tell me that you can’t go with us.
Ø  Anybody who says it won’t be fun has no clue what they are talking about.
Ø  These are terribly steep stairs.
Ø  We ran into each other at the mall.

Teori Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Menurut Joseph Schumpeter

TEORI PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI MENURUT JOSEPH SCHUMPETER   Joseph Shumpeter 1.     Teori Schumpeter (pembangunan ekonomi) Joseph Alois Schumpeter pertama kali mengemukakan teori pertumbuhan ekonominya dalam buku Theory of Economic Development yang terbit di Jerman 1911 (edisi Inggris muncul 1934), yang kemudian diuraikan dan direvisi dalam Business Cycles (1939) dan Capitalism Socialism, and Democrazy (1942) tanpa mengalami perubahan penting. 2.     Makna Pembangunan Ekonomi Salah satu pendapat Schumpeter yang penting adalah landasan teori pembangunannya yaitu keyakinannya bahwa system kapitalisme merupakan system yang paling baik untuk menciptakan pembangunan ekonomi yang pesat. Namun demikian, Schumpeter meramalkan secara pesimis bahwa dalam jangka panjang system kapitalisme akan mengalami kemandegan (stagnasi). Pendapat ini sama dengan kaum klasik. Proses perkembangan ekonomi menurut Schumpeter, faktor utama yang menyebabkan perkembangan ekonomi adalah proses inovasi dan pelakun

Teori Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Neoklasik (Robert M. Solow)

Pertumbuhan Neo Klasik Menurut Robert Solow Robert Solow adalah ahli ekonomi yang memenangkan hadiah nobel pada tahun 1987. Solow berpendapat bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi akan tercapai jika ada pertumbuhan output. Pertumbuhan output terjadi jika dua faktor input, yakni modal dan tenaga kerja dikombinasikan, sedangkan faktor teknologi dianggap konstan (tidak berubah).  Robert M. Solow Adapun yang tergolong sebagai modal adalah bahan baku, mesin, peralatan, komputer, bangunan dan uang. Dalam memproduksi output, faktor modal dan tenaga kerja bias dikombinasikan dalam berbagai model kombinasi. Sehingga, bisa dituliskan dalam rumus sebagai berikut: Q = f (C.L) Keterangan: Q = Jumlah output yang dihasilkan f = Fungsi C = Capital (modal sebagai input) L = Labour (tenaga kerja, sebagai input) Rumus di atas menyatakan bahwa output (Q) merupakan fungsi dari modal (C) dan tenaga kerja (L). Ini berarti tinggi rendahnya output tergantung pada cara mengombinasikan mod
