Lombok memiliki dua jenis kain tradisional, yakni kain tenun songket dan kain tenun ikat. Cara membedakannya adalah dari warna, motif, dan fungsinya. Kalau kain tenun songket Lombok umumnya penuh dengan warna (fullcolor), terbuat dari benang katun yang berasal dari kapas, serta kaya akan warna perak dan atau emas.
Sementara tenun ikat memiliki motif yang sederhana dengan kecenderungan bentuk motif berupa garis horizontal dan vertikal saja. Kesederhanaan itu juga menjalar dari kegunaannya yang lebih sering digunakan dalam keseharian masyarakat Suku Sasak, suku asli di Lombok.
History [ edit ]
According to the Batak people, there are three sources of warmth for humans, Sun, Fire, and Ulos. Ulos are said to be a source of warmth because they live in cold mountains. This natural condition makes sunlight insufficient to give warmth, especially at night. Then, they created something that could give them warmth, also believed to be able to give the men bravery and the women strength against infertility.
At first, Ulos was only used as an ordinary cloth but it later developed into a symbol of love, traditional ceremony requirements, and society's structural system symbol. Even today ulos is believed to have magical religious power and is thus considered 'sacred' and has special power to protect the user.
What Are English Tenses?
English Tenses are verb forms that indicate when an action or event occurs, whether it is in the past, present, or future. Each tense has its own unique structure that is used to convey different meanings. There are three main tenses in English: past, present, and future.
Definition of English Tenses
A tense is a grammatical category that expresses the time of an action or event. In English grammar, tenses are formed by the inflection of verbs to indicate the time when an action or event occurred.

- The present tense is used to indicate that an action or event is happening now.
- The future tense is used to indicate that an action or event will occur in the future.
Types of English Tenses
English grammar has 12 types of verb tenses, each indicating a different time period. These tenses can be broadly classified into three categories: present tense, past tense, and future tense.
Present Tense
The present tense is used to describe actions that are currently happening or are ongoing. It can be divided into four subcategories: simple present, present continuous, present perfect, and present perfect continuous.
- Simple Present: This tense is used to describe habitual actions or general truths. For example, “She eats breakfast every day.”
- Present Continuous: This tense is used to describe actions that are happening at the moment of speaking. For example, “She is eating breakfast now.”
- Present Perfect: This tense is used to describe actions that started in the past and continue up to the present. For example, “She has eaten breakfast already.”
- Present Perfect Continuous: This tense is used to describe actions that started in the past and continue up to the present with a focus on the duration of the action. For example, “She has been eating breakfast for an hour.”
Past Tense
The past tense is used to describe actions that have already happened. It can be divided into four subcategories: simple past, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous.
- Simple Past: This tense is used to describe completed actions in the past. For example, “She ate breakfast yesterday.”
- Past Continuous: This tense is used to describe actions that were happening at a specific time in the past. For example, “She was eating breakfast at 8 am yesterday.”
- Past Perfect: This tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action. For example, “She had eaten breakfast before she went to work.”
- Past Perfect Continuous: This tense is used to describe an action that was ongoing in the past and continued up to a specific point in the past. For example, “She had been eating breakfast for an hour when her friend arrived.”
