Subject-Verb Agreement
• Singular – Plural
Jika subjek singular (he, she, it) maka kata kerja juga singular yaitu
dengan menambahkan -s, -es, atau -ies di belakangnya. Jika subjek
plural (we, they), maka kata kerja juga plural (tidak menambahkan apa-
apa).
Terdapat pengecualian untuk subjek orang pertama dan orang kedua
(I dan you). Kedua subjek ini mengikuti aturan subjek plural dimana kata
kerja tidak diubah dari bentuk awalnya. Contoh:
• Cacha goes to school
• He likes to eat apples.
• The cat chases the mouse.
• I go to school
• They like to eat apples.
• The cats chase the mouse.
• Kata Penghubung ‘and’
Ketika dua subjek digabungkan dengan kata ‘and’, maka subjek itu
berarti lebih dari satu sehingga menjadi plural. Contoh:
• Cacha and Charlie ride car to school.
• The cars and bikes park in front of the mall.
• Kata Untuk Menjelaskan Kuantitas
Jika terdapat kata yang menjelaskan kuantitas
seperti all, most, some, half, dan sebagainya yang diikuti oleh kata
of, maka verb yang digunakan bergantung pada kata benda
setelahnya. Contoh:
• Half of the book is
• All of the information is
• Most of the students arrive at school.
• Some of the cakes are very delicious.
• There & Here
Untuk there dan here, bentuk verb ditentukan berdasarkan kata
benda setelahnya. Contoh:
• There are birds
• There is a snake in my boot!
• Here is your phone.
• Here are the lists that you need.
• Frasa Tambahan
Frasa tambahan atau interrupting phrases adalah frasa yang
ditambahkan setelah subjek. Berikut sejumlah contoh frasa
tambahan:
• As well as
• Including
• Especially
• In addition to
• Along with
• Together with
Apabila menemukan frasa ini dalam kalimat, yang harus diingat
adalah bentuk kata kerja tetap bergantung pada subjek di awal dan
tidak terpengaruh oleh frasa-frasa ini. Contoh:
• Donna, together with her sister, likes visiting her grandmother.
• The children, as well as their cousins, get presents every
Christmas.
ada juga sejumlah kata yang walaupun mengandung makna jamak, tapi secara tata
bahasa selalu berbentuk tunggal. Jadi, kata kerjanya juga harus berbentuk tunggal.
• Everyone
• Everybody
• Each …
• Every…
• Somebody
• Someone
• Something Contoh Kalimat:
• Anybody
• Anyone • Everybody knows Lee.
• Anybody • Each flower has different color.
• No one • Someone is hiding behind the tree.
• Nobody • Nothing matters now.
• Nothing
 An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that sits next to
Appositive or before another noun to rename it or to describe it in
another way
Example: Appositives are usually offset with a pair of
the following:
Commas, round brackets (), dashes -
My brother, Michael, is six years old.

Tom, a really good mechanic, is fixing the car
