Tugas Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2 (Rangkuman 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
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.
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.
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.

Exercise   :

1. He goes to zoo. (Singular)

2.She studies english in oxford university. (Singular)

3.we take one fruit to laboratory. (Plural)

4.i drink watermelon juice this morning. (Plural)
