subject and verb agreement (tugas ll)

Theory deals with subject-verb agreeement

Rule (conditions) of the most important in English is that between the subject verb must be in agreement. That is, if the subject of his singular so verb him must also be singular. Conversely, if the subject of his plural then its verb must be plural, too.

1. Singular subject – singular verb

Is the singular subject is the subject pronoun he, she and it, or nouns that can be replaced with he, she or it; Whereas the definition of singular verbs are verb1 es/s is/was, as well as the verb phrase such as: is/was verb-ing/verb3, verb3, has verb-ing has been and has been verb3.

Pattern of singular subject-singular verb is presented in the following table :

	Singular subject	Singular verb	Tenses
1	He/She/it	verb1 + es/s	simple present
2	He/She/it	is + verb-ing	present continuous
3	He/She/it	was + verb-ing	past continuous
4	He/She/it	has + verb3	present perfect
5	He/She/it	has + been + verb-ing	present perfect continuous
6	He/She/it	is going to + verb1	simple future
7	He/She/It	is going to + be verb-ing	future continuous
8	He/She/it	was going to + verb1	past future
9	He/She/It	was going to + be verb-ing	past future continuous

If the sentence does not use verb, we used to be :

	Singular subject	Singular verb	Tenses
10	He/She/it	Is	simple present
11	He/She/it	is + being	present continuous
12	He/She/it	Was	simple past
13	He/She/it	was + being	past continuous
14	He/She/It	has been	present perfect
10	He/She/it	has + been + being	present perfect continuous
16	He/She/it	is going to + be	simple future
17	He/She/it	is going to + be being	future continuous
18	He/She/it	was going to + be	past future
19	He/She/it	was going to + be being	past future continuous

2. Plural subject – plural verb

Is a plural subject is the subject pronouns such as I, we, you, they, and all plural nouns. Whereas the definition of plural verbs are verbs and verb phrase in addition to singular feminine verbs above.

Patterns of plural verb subject-plural presented in the following table :

	Plural subject	Plural verb	Tense
1	I/we/you/they	verb1	simple present
2	I/we/you/they	am/are + verb-ing	present continuous
3	I/we/you/they	was/were + verb-ing	past continuous
4	I/we/you/they	have+ verb3	present perfect
5	I/we/you/they	have + been + verb-ing	present perfect continuous
6	I/we/you/they	am/are going to + verb1	simple future
7	I/we/you/they	am/are going to + be verb-ing	future continuous
8	I/we/you/they	was/were going to + verb1	past future
9	I/we/you/they	was/were going to + be verb-ing	past future continuous

If the sentence does not use verb, we used to be :

	Plural subject	Plural verb	Tense
10	I/we/you/they	am/are	simple present
11	I/we/you/they	am/are + being	present continuous
12	I/we/you/they	was/were	simple past
13	I/we/you/they	was/were + being	past continuous
14	I/we/you/they	have been	present perfect
10	I/we/you/they	have + been + being	present perfect continuous
16	I/we/you/they	am/are going to + be	simple future
17	I/we/you/they	am/are going to + be being	future continuous
18	I/we/you/they	was/were going to + be	past future
19	I/we/you/they	was/were going to + be being	past future continuous

To note is what the subject line. If the subject of his singular verb then his should also be singular, whereas if its subject plural verb then his should also be plural.

A. Subject – verb agreement whent it is separated by prepositional phrase

Example :

1. The study of languages is very interesting. (singular subject)

1. The actress is going to a party tonight.
2. Mr. Julianto is arriving tonight.
3. My wife is a volleyball player.
