adalah concord. Sedangkan Subject Verb Agreement adalah kesesuaian
antara subjek dengan kata kerja dalam sebuah kalima

ball.
|
The cats play

|
|
cat = singular subject

Aturan
Subject Verb Agreement
1. Singular – Plural
Ezio goes/go to Campus.
The cat eat/eats fish.
She read/reads a book.

verb plural.

The cats eat/eats fish.
They read/reads book.

plural nouns (women, children, people). Baca Juga: Penjelasan Lengkap Singular
dan Plural Nouns
2. Prepositional phrases
» Jika terdapat prepositional
phrase, maka subject adalah sebelum preposition.
Salah: The door (at the houses) are broken.
Benar: The door (at the houses) is broken.
Penjelasan: ‘At the houses’ adalah
prepositional phrase. Maka subject dalam kalimat diatas adalah the door, dan
verb yang digunakan adalah is.
» Jika terdapat lebih dari satu
prepositional phrases, maka subject adalah sebelum preposition pertama.
Salah: The meeting (of the teachers) (in the school) begin at 10 a.m.
Benar: The meeting (of the teachers) (in the school) begins at 10 a.m.
Penjelasan: ‘Of the teachers, in the
school” adalah prepositional phrases. Maka subject dalam kalimat diatas adalah
the meeting, dan verb yang digunakan adalah begins.
3.
Conjunction ‘and’
»
Ketika dua subjek dihubungkan dengan “and”, maka gunakan verb plural.
- The cars and motorcycles park in front of the building.
- Rina and Rini are playing guitar together.
4. Expressions of Quantity
» Apabila terdapat expressions of
quantity (all, most, atau some) diikuti oleh preposition ‘of’, maka subject
bisa singular atau plural, tergantung pada kata benda setelah preposition.
All (of the flower) grows beautifully.
All (of the flowers) grow beautifully.
Most (of the student) arrives at school.
Most (of the students) arrive at school.
Some (of the cake) has been eaten.
Some (of the cakes) have been eaten.
5. Agreement after Certain Words
Certain words dalam Bahasa Inggris
adalah kata-kata yang selalu berbentuk tunggal (singular) secara gramatikal,
namun mungkin memiliki makna jamak (plural).
Salah: Everybody in library are reading the book.
Benar: Everybody in library is reading the book.
Penjelasan: Meskipun kita mengerti
bahwa ada banyak orang yang membaca buku di perpustakaan, namun kata everybody
berbentuk singular dan membutuhkan singular verb yakni is reading.
Beberapa certain words dibawah ini memiliki bentuk
tunggal (singular), jadi harus
menggunakan kata kerja tunggal (singular verb):
everybody somebody each (+
noun)
everyone someone every
(+ noun)
everything something
anybody nobody
anyone noone
anything nothing
Everyone eat/eats meatball.
Someone has/have to work hard.
Anything are/is possible.
Each flower in the pot grow/grows beautifully.
Every boy and girl plays/play at playground everyday.*
*Dalam kalimat tersebut, kita tidak
peduli berapa banyak singular noun (boy, girl) yang dihubungkan oleh ‘and‘.
Subjek (every) tetap singular, maka dibutuhkan kata kerja singular (plays).

Interrupting phrase adalah phrase
yang menggangu dalam penentuan subject. Beberapa interrupting phrase antara
lain:
together with as well as
along with including
especially in addition to
Salah: Nina, together with her friends, are cleaning the room.
Benar: Nina, together with her friends, is cleaning the room.

tersebut adalah Nina, maka kata kerja yang digunakan adalah is, sedangkan
together with her friends adalah interrupting phrase.
Salah: The dogs, as well as the cat, is a mammal.

Penjelasan: Subject dalam kalimat
tersebut adalah the dogs, maka kata kerja yang digunakan adalah are, sedangkan
as well as the cat adalah interrupting phrase.
