Verb 1

•       Go (Pergi).

•       Eat (Makan).

•       Drink (Minum).

•       Write (Menulis).

•       Does : Digunakan untuk subject (She, he, it).

NOTE : ( do not ) can be shortened (don’t), while (does not)

can be abbreviated as (doesn’t).

Untuk catatan : (do not) bisa disingkat menjadi (don't), sedangkan (does not) bisa disingkat menjadi (doesn't).
