Subject dan Verb Agreement ( Tugas Softskill ke-2 Bahasa Inggris Bisnis )

Pengertian 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 daninfinitive. Pada dasarnya, singular subject (subjek tunggal) menggunakan singular verb (kata kerja tunggal), sedangkan plural subject (subjek jamak) menggunakan plural verb (kata kerja jamak). Verb Singular yaitu kalimat yang menggunakan kata each, every ; es, s, is 

Contoh 1: every women, man, child needs refreshing. Walaupun kalimat tersebut ada tiga subject (plural), tapi karena ada kata "every", kalimat tersebut menjadi singular. Jadi, kata "every" atau "each"-nya mewakili, lalu pada verb-nya ditambahi akhiran "s" (menjadi needs).

Contoh 2: each book at the library is listed. Di perpustakaan ada banyak buku, tetapi karena ada kata "each" maka mewakili semua buku tersebut, dan verb-nya menggunakan "is".

Noun + Prepositional Phrase Untuk kalimat ini, cara menentukan bentuk verb-nya dilihat dari bentuk noun-nya. Contoh 3: The pencil on the book is yours. Kata "The pencil" menunjukkan noun singular, kata "on the book" menunjukkan preposition phrase, lalu karena bentuk noun-nya singular maka verb-nya pun singular, yaitu menggunakan "is".

Untuk bentuk plural dari kalimat di atas adalah... The pencil on the book are yours. Yang perlu diperhatikan dalam kalimat seperti ini yaitu SUBJECT-nya. Jika subject-nya satu, maka noun dan verb-nya singular. Jika subject-nya lebih dari satu (menggunakan "s" atau "es" di akhirannya), maka noun dan verb-nya plural.

Contoh 4: The cake at on the table is delicious. Kalimat di atas memiliki noun dan verb singular.

Contoh 5: The cake at on the table are ready. Kalimat di atas memiliki noun dan verb plural.

Kata "some of", "a lot of", "none of", "half of", "most of" bisa menjadi singular, bisa juga menjadi plural, hal ini tergantung pada noun-nya. Contoh 6: Some of food is delicious. (singular) Some of food is delicious. (plural)

untuk kalimat yang terdapat kata "each of", "every of", dan "one of" diikuti oleh plural noun, verb tetap singular. Contoh 7: the number of foods in supermarket is more than 300. A number of foods are expired.
