In simple present tense there are two kinds of sentences, there are verbal sentences and nominal sentences. In this occasion that will be discussed is the nominal sentence.
Nominal sentence is a sentence that there is no verb in it. But there are adjectives, adverbs or nouns. Because there is no verb in the nominal sentence it takes verb to be as an auxiliary verb. Following explanation:

In nominal sentences there are three types of sentences namely, positive sentences, negative sentences and interrogative sentences. Following the explanation:
- Positive Sentence
Examples: You are late (Kamu terlambat)
She is nervous in English examination
(Dia gugup di ujian Bahasa Inggris)
- Negative Sentence
Examples: You are not late (kamu tidak terlambat)
She is not nervous in English examination
(Dia tidak gugup di ujian Bahasa Inggris)
- Interrogative Sentence
