Questions & Answers about Saya melihat jam tangan dan berangkat lebih awal.
Indonesian verbs don’t inflect for tense. Time is inferred from context or added time words:
- Past: tadi (earlier), barusan (just now), sudah/telah (already)
- Tadi saya melihat jam, lalu berangkat lebih awal.
- Saya sudah berangkat lebih awal.
- Future: nanti, akan
- Nanti saya berangkat lebih awal.
Dropping the repeated subject is normal when it stays the same. Your sentence is understood as Saya melihat … dan (saya) berangkat …. Repeating it is also correct but less natural:
- Saya melihat jam tangan dan saya berangkat lebih awal.
Both, depending on context. With an explicit object like a watch, it means “look at/check.”
- Saya melihat jam/jam tangan. = I looked at (checked) the time/my watch. For “to watch” (a movie, TV), use menonton, not melihat:
- Saya menonton film.
