INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

When we talk about the grammar of a language, what comes to mind is how to organize the words
contained in the language into a series of meanings, which can be understood both by the speaker and
the listener. Therefore, learning grammar in English is learning how to use words in standard sentence
patterns in English.

Subject-verb Agreement is one of the grammars in English, which is very important for making
standard sentences in English.

Subject-verb Agreement is a re-approximation between the verb and the subject heading in terms of
number, i.e.: singular or plural. The subject can be either a noun, pronoun, or any other construction
that acts as a noun, such asnoun, such as gerund and infinitive. Basically, singular subjects use
singular verbs, while plural subjects use plural verbs.

DISCUSSION

2.1 Definition of Subject

Subject (subject or doer) is someone or something that is the center of the conversation. Looking for
the subject of a sentence means looking for the main topic that is being discussed or described in the
sentence.

The subject is one of the five main elements of clause structure. The other four are: verb, object,
complement and adjunct. Subjects are very important in declarative, negative and interrogative
clauses. The subject acts as the 'doer' or agent of an action. Subjects are usually noun phrases (e.g.
nouns or pronouns).

So, the types of words used as Subjects in English are Nouns, Noun Phrases, and Pronouns.

2.2 Definition of verb

Verbs are words that indicate action, action, or state. Some examples of verbs that might be used
frequently include write, eat, drink, and others.

Verbs are "action words" or "action words" in English. We use them to refer to actions that are
performed, events that happen to someone or something, and circumstances.

Examples:

Actions performed - run, jump, talk, cook, read, go

Events that happen to someone or something - rain, die, grow, become

State of being - have, know, need, think

Every complete sentence in the English setting will need at least one verb to describe what the subject
is doing.
2.3 Definition of verb

Verbs are words that indicate action, action, or state. Some examples of verbs that might be used
frequently include write, eat, drink, and others.

Verbs are "action words" or "action words" in English. We use them to refer to actions that are
performed, events that happen to someone or something, and circumstances.

Examples:

Actions performed - run, jump, talk, cook, read, go

Events that happen to someone or something - rain, die, grow, become

State of being - have, know, need, think

Every complete sentence in the English setting will need at least one verb to describe what the subject
is doing.

2.4 Subject Usage and Examples

3.1 Pronouns

The first subject is the pronoun or personal pronoun. This type of subject is the easiest to distinguish
from the other types of subjects. Personal pronouns consist of: They, we, I, you, he, she,it

Singular Plural

First Person Pronouns I We

Second Person Pronouns You You

Third Person Pronouns He, she, it They

Usually, the subject is located at the beginning of the sentence. But sometimes it can come after an
explanatory sentence or an appossitive.

Example sentences:
She loves ice cream

A beautiful cheerleader, Sarah rarely misses the class.

3.2 Noun

Noun is a noun. The 5 things that fall into the noun category are:

1. Names of people

Names of people fall into the noun category or nouns that fall into the subject type. Examples of
people's names are: Ahmad, Sarah, Tom, etc.

Example:

Ahmad is a basketball player in his school.

2. Names of Things

Similar to names of people, names of objects are also included in the noun category. Examples of
object names include racket, table, pencil, book, etc.

Example:

These two rackets were bought by Lucas.

3. Occupation

Occupations also fall into the noun category. Examples of occupations are: lawyer, teacher, manager,
etc.

Example:

A teacher who teaches in my school is my mom.

4. Gerund

The fourth type of noun that falls into the subject category is gerund. Gerunds are verbs that act as
subjects by changing the verb form into verb-ing.
When you see a v-ing in front, it is actually a subject, not a verb. Examples are swimming, reading,
playing, etc.

Example:

Playing basketball is my hobby.

5. To Infinitive

The last type of noun is to infinitive. To infinitive has the formula to + Verb 1. For example, to bring,
to love, to teach, etc. If the to + verb phrase is at the beginning of the sentence, it acts as the subject.

Example:

To finish the assignment takes a focus skill.

3. Noun Phrase

A noun phrase is a phrase that is the result of combining a noun, pronoun, or number.

- Noun + Noun

Example sentence: "My water bottle is new!"

In this example, the noun phrase is "my water bottle". "My" is a determiner in the form of a
possessive adjective. The next components are "water" and "bottle" which are both nouns.

- Noun + of + Noun

Example sentence: "Students of class A are very smart."

What's the noun phrase here? That's right, "students of class A"!

In this example, we have two nouns bridged by the preposition "of".

- Determiner + Adjective + Noun

Example sentence: "I need a hot coffee to wake myself up."

Which noun phrase is it? "A hot coffee"!

Here, the determiner is "a", the adjective is "hot", and finally the noun itself is "coffee".

- Determiner + Adverb + Adjective + Noun

In this example, the noun phrase is "an amazingly talented person" with "an" as the determiner,
"amazingly" as the adverb, "talented" as the adjective, and "person" as the noun.

- V-ing + Noun

Example sentences: "Dad is in the smoking room."

The noun phrase in the sentence above is "the smoking room". As usual, we already have the
determiner and the noun.

What about smoking? Smoking is a present participle (verb + -ing) that describes the noun "room".

- V3 + Noun

Example sentence: "The stolen car was found by the police."

The noun phrase in this sentence is "the stolen car".

"Stolen" here is the past participle (V3) of "steal".

4. Verb Usage and Examples

In English, we recognize grammar that can be identified by time zone differences. They are present,
past, and future. With this time difference, verbs also change for each condition. Each verb usually
has three forms: verb 1, verb 2, verb 3. The bigger the number, the more past tense the verb is. Aside
from verb 1-3, there is also verb-ing which is used to describe an action that is being done right now.

4.1 Verb I (Present)

The first verb form is called Verb 1 (V1) or present. It is an infinitive verb that is commonly used in
the simple present tense. This verb form is the same as the original verb form, but it always ends with
the suffix -s, -es, -ies for third person singular subjects (he, she, it) in simple present tense sentences.
Simple present tense talks about current actions, events, or conditions that happen in the present
situation.

Formula: Subject + verb (s/es) + object.

Example verbs:

Sleep - sleeps
Watch - watches

Go - goes

Cry - cries

Study - studies

Example sentences:

-She studies English everyday.

-She likes eating out.

-She makes kinds of cookies.

4.2 Verb II (Past)

The second verb form is called Verb 2 (V2) or past. This verb is commonly used in simple past tense
sentences. When do you use the 2nd verb? It's when an action has already passed or is in the past.
This is shown by the presence of time adverbs such as: last night, yesterday, three years ago, and so
on.

Formula: Subject + 2nd verb + object.

Example Sentences:

1. I was not born in 1989. (I was not born in 1989.)

2. He walked to school yesterday. (Yesterday he walked to school.)

3. My parents were busy last night. (My parents were busy last night.)

4. She went abroad last year. (She went abroad last year.)

5. Ibnu was not here last night. (Ibnu wasn't here last night.)

Usually, the second verb adds -d or -ed to the first verb, but it can also take a form with different
letters. Therefore, the second verb can be said to be two. A word that only adds -d or -ed is called a
regular verb. Whereas the letter changes in the verb are referred to as irregular verbs.
Examples of regular verbs:

Achieve - achieved

Call - called

Clean - cleaned

Enjoy - enjoyed

Phone - phoned

Talk - talked

Examples of irregular verbs:

Begin - began

Eat - Ate

Speak - spoke

Take - took

Find - found

Leave - left

4.3 Verb III (Past Participle)

Actually, the second and third verbs are quite similar. In fact, many verbs have the exact same word
as the second form. The third form of the verb is used for perfect tense and passive voice sentences.

The sentence can be formulated as follows:

Present: To be (is/am/are) + V3.

Past: To be (was/was) + V3.

Future: To be (will be) + V3

Example sentences:
Doni was visited by Rudi last week

-My plants were watered by him

-My food was eaten by him.

-My car was washed by him.

-We will be asked to show our IDs by the security guard.

Similar to verb II, verb III is also divided into regular verbs and irregular verbs.

Examples of regular verbs:

Study - learn - study

Work - work - work

Walk - walk - walk

Phone - call - make a call

Prank - prank - prank

Examples of irregular verbs:

Go - go - go

Drink - drink - drink - get drunk

Write - write - written

Eat - eat - eaten

Speak - speak - spoken

Take - take - taken

4.4 Verbs ending in -ing

In the use of verbs ending in -ing, the grammar used is continous tense, aka ongoing at that time.

Example words:

Walk - walk

Sing - sing

Talk - speak
Write - write

Play - play

Run - running

Smoke - smoke

Take - take

Wait - wait

Formula: Subject + (is/am/are) + verb (ing) + object

Example sentences:

-She is learning Chinese with LingoAce.

-The boys are shouting at each other now.

-I am opening my own kitchen at the moment.

-They are driving fast with their supercars.

-She is playing with her daughter now

In use, this verb form is preceded by the auxiliary verb be (is, am, are, were, were).

Example sentences:

-She is learning Chinese with LingoAce.

-The boys are shouting at each other now.

-I am opening my own kitchen at the moment.

-They are driving fast with their supercars.

-She is playing with her daughter now
