Ringkasan

Ringkasan

oleh Farid Akram -

Dalam bahasa Inggris, kecocokan subjek- kata kerja itu penting/ harus saling berhubungan. Artinya, karakteristik subjek harus tercermin dalam kata kerja. Misalnya jika subjek tunggal, bentuk kata kerjanya juga harus tunggal. Ada 2 contoh subject- verb agreement, yaitu tunggal dan jamak,

contohnya:

ΓÇóTunggal:

-incorrect (dia melihatmu)

-correct (dia melihatmu)

Hanya ada satu subjek yg disebutkan, yg artinya itu tunggal.

ΓÇóJamak:

-incorrect (kami melihatmu)

-correct (kami melihatmu)

(Kami) yang artinya lebih dari satu subjek yg disebutkan, maka dia disebut jamak.
