Ok, back to the topic. two things that I have to bring everywhere are my glasses and my wallet. Why I always bring it?. First, I will explain about glasses, why I bring glasses? Because my ayes is minus, so I have to use it, everywhere I go, except, when I sleep and when I take a bath. I have aye minus since I high school, and why I have aye minus? because I like read novels. Actually, read novel can not cause eyes minus, but cause I read while I sleep, so the chances of developing very large. So, I have to bring glasses everywhere I go. And because doctor also recommend to always use. Second, I will explain about wallet, why I always bring it too? Because my identity card is stored in the wallet and the most importantly my ATM in my wallet.So, that is the reason why I always bring it everywhere I go.

Thank you for attention and see you next time.

SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT AND SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT EXERCISE

  Hi everybody,  I this  occasion, I want to tell you that today in English class, I learned about Subject Verb Agreement and Subject Verb Agreement Exercise and Subject Verb Agreement Exercise. So, I this occasion I will explain to you.

● Subject is the person / people / thing(s) that do the activity.

Example: I, You, She, He, We, They, It, My Mom and My Dad, Linda, Lusi, Linda and Lusi, The Bank, etc.

● Verb is a word use to describe action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of predicate of a sentence. There is Three Kind of Verb, Action Verb, Linking Verb, Helping Verb.

Action Verb

® Also knonw as MAIN VERB

®Action Verbs are words that express action (give, eat, walk, etc.) or possession (have, own, etc.).

®Action Verbs can be either transitive (with object) and intransitive (without object).

Example:

1. Laurissa raises her hand. (kkt)
2. Abdus gave Becky the pencil. (kkt)
3. Laurissa rises slowly from her seat. (kki)
4. He was pontificating about art and history. (kki)

Linking Verb

® A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that renames or describes the subject.

® To Be: is, am, are, was, were

Example:

• Lisa is in love with Jason.
• We were there!
• I am happy J

®Verb: seem, appear, become, grow, remain, get, prove, turn, look, sound, smell, taste, feel.

Example:

• She looks pale.
• I feel happy
• That sounds great!
• Your cook smells good.

 Helping verb

®Helping verbs are used before action or linking verbs to convey additional information regarding aspects of possibility (can, could, etc.) or time (was, did, has, etc.)

®MODALS always function as Helping Verbs.

MODALS: can, could, may, might, shall, will, ought to, should, would.

Examples:

• Tejo is (helping verb) going (main verb) to Florida.
• The trip might (helping verb) be (main verb) dangerous.
• Tanya could learn to fly helicopters. (Could helps the main verb, learn.)
• Janine will drive to Idaho tomorrow. (Will helps the main verb, drive.)

MAIN RULE OF “Subject Verb Agreement”, Only the subject affects the verb!

• RULE 1

®Subjects and verbs must agree in number. This is the cornerstone rule that forms the background of the concept.

Examples:

• The dog growls when it is angry.
• The dogs growl when they are angry.

• RULE 2

®Don’t get confused by the words that come between the subject and verb; they

do not affect agreement.

Examples:

• The dog, who is chewing on my jeans, is usually very good.

 

• RULE 3

®Prepositional phrases between the subject and verb usually do not affect

agreement.

Examples:

• The colors of the rainbow are beautiful.

• RULE 4

®When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be placed

after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly.

Examples:

• There is a problem with the balance sheet. Here are the papers you requested.

• RULE 5

®If two subjects are joined by and, they typically require a plural verb form.

Examples:

• The cow and the pig are jumping over the moon.

• RULE 6

®The verb is singular if the two subjects separated by and refer to the same

person or thing.

Examples:

• Red beans and rice is my mom's favorite dish.

• RULE 7

®If one of the words each, every, or no comes before the subject, the verb is

singular.

Examples:

• No smoking or drinking is allowed.
• Every man and woman is required to check in.

• RULE 8

®If the subjects are both singular and are connected by the words or, nor,

neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also the verb is singular.

Examples:

• Jessica or Christian is to blame for the accident.

• RULE 9

®The only time when the object of the preposition decides plural or singular verb forms is when noun and pronoun subjects like some, half, none, more, all, etc. are followed by a prepositional phrase. In these sentences, the object of the preposition determines the form of the verb.

Examples:

• All of the chicken is gone.
• All of the chickens are gone.

• RULE 10

®The singular verb form is usually used for units of measurement or time.

Examples:

• Four quarts of oil was required to get the car running.

• RULE 11

®If the subjects are both plural and are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, the verb is plural.

Examples:

• Dogs and cats are both available at the pound.

• RULE 12

®If one subject is singular and one plural and the words are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, you use the verb form of the subject that is nearest the verb.

Examples:

• Either the bears or the lion has escaped from the zoo.
• Neither the lion nor the bears have escaped from the zoo.

• RULE 13

®Indefinite pronouns (everything, anything, everyone, someone, somebody, nothing, etc) typically take singular verbs.

Examples:

• Everybody wants to be loved.
• Everything is gonna be alright.

• RULE 14

®Except for the pronouns (few, many, several, both, all, some) that always take the plural form.

Examples:

• Few were left alive after the flood.
• Several students understand the material.

• RULE 15

®If two infinitives are separated by and they take the plural form of the verb.

Examples:

• To walk and to chew gum require great skill.

• RULE 16

®When gerunds are used as the subject of a sentence, they take the singular verb

form of the verb; but, when they are linked by and, they take the plural form.

Examples:

• Standing in the water was a bad idea.
• Swimming in the ocean and playing drums are my hobbies.

• RULE 17

®Collective nouns like family, committee, herd, senate, class, crowd, etc. usually take a singular verb form.

Examples:

• The herd is stampeding.
• Cooper family always attends the annual party.

• RULE 18

®Titles of books, movies, novels, etc. are treated as singular and take a singular

verb.

Examples:

• The Burbs is a movie starring Tom Hanks.
• Harry Potter has reached Top 3 Best Seller books.
