Subject & Verb Agreement

Subject-verb agreement adalah persesuaian antara verb dengan subject dalam hal number, yaitu: singular (tunggal) atau plural (jamak). Subjek dapat berupa nounpronoun, 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
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 football ----> Plural karena ada kata they dan play nya menggunakan verb 1


Each & Every selalu diikuti oleh verba tunggal. 

Contoh :
  • Ina goes playing badminton every sunday and saturday.
  • Each people needs hobby
  • Andi goes Fishing every sunday

Prepositional Phrase, atau frasa preposisi adalah frasa yang terdiri dari preposisi dan objek preposisi (object of the preposition). Objek preposisi dalam frasa preposisi dapat berupa noun, pronoun, atau noun phrases.
 
Contoh frasa preposisi:
- on the internet
- in the room
- by the ocean
- near the window
- over the cabinet
- with us
- in your ear
- under your hat
- below sea level

Dalam kalimat terdiri Subject + Prepositional Phrase Verb dari kalimat tersebut lihat dari subjectnya

Contoh :

  • The man in the house is mysterious. Karena The Man (Subject) berbentuk Singular maka menggunakan kata Is.
  • The leather jackets on the cabinets are mine. Pada kata leather jackets berbentuk Plural maka menggunakan kata Are.
  • The book on the table is mine. Karna The book (Subject) berbentuk Singular maka menggunakan kata Is
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.
Dalam membuat kalimatnya  bila Subject Gerund (Verb ing) maka verbnya harus singular. 



Contoh : 
  • Your singing is very beautiful.
  • Reading in the dark room is not good. 
  • Watching old movies is Interesting.   
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 :
  • 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 : 
  •  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 :
  • The number of plants in each plot was 25.
  • A number of people are dancing on the stage.
