3. Subject Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement adalah persesuaian
antara verb dengan subject dalam hal number,
yaitu: singular (tunggal) atau plural (jamak). Subjek
dapat berupa noun, pronoun, atau konstruksi lain yang
berakting sebagai noun, seperti gerund dan infinitive. Pada
dasarnya, singular subject (subjek tunggal) menggunakan singular
verb (kata kerja tunggal), sedangkan plural subject (subjek
jamak) menggunakan plural verb (kata kerja jamak).
Simple present tense adalah tenses atau pola kalimat
yang digunakan untuk menceritakan waktu sekarang dalam bentuk sederhana. Dapat
diartikan juga Simple Present Tense itu adalah bentuk tenses yang terjadi dalam
kebiasaan sehari-hari, tidak selalu berkaitan dengan waktu, dan mengekspresikan
kebenaran yang umum. Dalam present tense ada singular dan plural. Cara
penggunaannya adalah sebagai berikut :
Singular ----> She/He/It menggunakan Verb ies/es/s
Singular ----> She/He/It menggunakan Verb ies/es/s
Plural ----> They/We/I/You menggunakan
verb 1
Contoh :
She goes to school ---> Singular
karena ada kata she dan verb dari kata go menggunakan tambahan kata es
They play basketball ----> Plural
karena ada kata they dan play nya menggunakan verb 1
"One,
each, dan every"
"One, each, dan every" selalu diikuti dengan kata
benda tunggal yang dapat dihitung (singular countable nouns). Dan
tidak pernah diikuti oleh kata benda
jamak ataupun kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung (uncountable nouns).
Perhatikan
contoh penggunaan "one, each, dan every" pada kalimat di bawah ini:
One student was
late to class. (Artinya: Satu siswa terlambat datang ke kelas)
Each student
has a schedule. (Artinya: Setiap siswa mempunyai jadwal)
Every student
has a schedule. (Artinya: Tiap-tiap siswa mempunyai jadwal)
PENTING:
Every one (dieja dalam
dua kata) adalah sebuah ekspresi untuk kuantitas (expression of quantity). Contohnya:
I have read every one of those books.
(Artinya: saya
sudah membaca tiap-tiap dari buku-buku itu)
Everyone (dieja dalam
satu kata) merupakan indefinite
pronoun, kata ini memiliki arti seperti everybody. Contohnya:
Everyone/ everybody has a schedule.
(Artinya:
Setiap orang mempunyai jadwal)
CATATAN:
Each dan every secara dasar
memiliki makna yang sama. Hanya saja:
Each digunakan
ketika kita sedang memikirkan suatu orang/ benda pada waktu itu. Contohnya:
Each student
has a schedule = Tina has a schedule, Brian has a schedule, Bent has a
schedule, etc.
Every digunakan
ketika kita bermaksud untuk mengekspresikan semuanya (all). Contohnya:
Every student
has a schedule = All of the students have schedule.
Gerund Phrases
Gerund phrases adalah frase yang terdiri dari
gerund ditambah dengan objek dan/atau modifier. Seperti halnya gerund,
gerund phrase juga berperan sebagai nomina dalam kalimat.
Contoh :
- Your singing is very beautiful.
- Reading in the dark room is not good.
Some of, A lot of, Half of, None of,
Most of
Pada suatu kalimat jika singular noun maka verbnya singular. Begitu juga bila plural noun maka verbnya plural.
Contoh :
Pada suatu kalimat jika singular noun maka verbnya singular. Begitu juga bila plural noun maka verbnya plural.
Contoh :
- Some of car in the show room is luxury.
- None of this money is mine.
Each of, One of, Every one of pada suatu kalimat diikuti plural
noun, dan verb harus singular.
Contoh :
Contoh :
- Each of people is not same.
- One of my friends is beautiful.
The number of plural =
Jumlah -----> Singular Verb
A number of plural = Sejumlah -----> Plural Verb
Contoh :
A number of plural = Sejumlah -----> Plural Verb
Contoh :
- The number of plants in each plot was 25.
- A number of people are dancing on the stage.
