SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT WITH EXAMPLE

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).

Subject-Verb Agreement (Umum)

Secara umum pada bentuk present tense, singular verb berupa base form (bentuk dasar) dari verb dengan ditambahkan suffix (akhiran) -s. Adapun pada plural verb tanpa ditambahkan suffix -s (sebaliknya, plural subject ditambahkan suffix-s). Aturan kata kerja ini berlaku pula pada subjek berupa third person (orang ketiga, contoh: Ricky, Anna) dan semua personal pronoun (they, we= jamak; he, she, it= tunggal), kecuali I dan you. Walaupun berupa subjek tunggal, I dan youdipasangkan dengan kata kerja bentuk jamak.

Subjek tunggal harus mempunyai kata kerja tunggal. Begitu pula subjek jamak harus mempunyai kata kerja jamak. Ini kita sebut sebagai kesesuaian subjek-kata kerja (subject-verb agreement).

contoh :

Miss Anita is our English teacher.

She goes to school everyday.
The stars shine.

Miss Anita and Miss Yuana love their student.

Miss Yuana was sick yesterday.

We went to her house.

Miss Anita is going to go to Miss Yuana’s house tonight.

On Vacation to Mount Bromo

         Hello, My name is Muhammad Karim, i’m 22 years old. I want to tell one of my personal experiences to you. Here we go.

         Last Holiday, me and my friends “ngecul family” vacationed to Malang. One of our plans is to visit Mount Bromo. From the results of asking a few friends, the results of googling, finally we decided to see the sunrise at Bromo. Actually this was not recommended by my friend, because we had to leave early in the morning from Malang, where we stayed. One alternative is to stay in the Bromo area, but because we already booked a hotel in Malang, we decided to leave Malang.

         The journey from Malang to Bromo takes approximately 2 hours. We use Troopers and jeeps only because of the road conditions. And indeed we finally saw that during the trip we did not find the type of private car, all the cars heading for Bromo were jeeps and troopers. During the trip, I felt so dizzy due to a lot of dust entering and damaged roads. On our way up, where we will see the sunrise, At 3:30 we arrived at the top, after we parked to the stalls at the bottom of the incline. We got warm tea to deal with the cold that was felt immediately when we got out of the car. There are also instant noodles and fried bananas in the stalls.

         From the pitch dark condition, for a long time began to appear orange tinge, the sun began to appear shy, until finally the sun shine brightly, truly an unforgettable experience. All tired and sick disappeared because we saw beautiful scenery. I’m so grateful. Alhamdulillah...
