Example :
I work
She works
They can in the garage is mine
· Singular subject need singular verbs
· Plural subject need plural verb
Example :
My brother is a nutririonist
1. Anyone, everyone, someone, no one, no body, therefore adalah singular verb
Example :
Everyone has done his or her homework
*Pengecualian
1. " All"
dan "Some" kadang bisa tunggal dan jamak, tergantung jenis bendanya
apakah bendanya itu countable atau
uncountable
Example :
Some of the books are missing
Example :
None of the food is fresh
3. Each selalu tunggal
Example :
Each of the cars has different colour
2. Kalimat dengan together with, as well as, along with tidak sama dengan and, maka kata-kata tersebut tidak menambahkan subjectnya.
Example :
The mayor and his brothers are going to prison
*Penjelasan tambahan
Kadang subject terpisah dari verb, seperti along with, as well as, besides, or not. Verb tegantung subject
3. Subject yang terpisah dengan verb/appisitives
Example :
The mayor, who
has been convicted along with his four brothers on four counts of
various crimes but who also seems, like a cat, to have several political
lives, is finally going to jail
4. Pronouns of adjective clause
Example :
He is one of the men who does the world
5. Either + or dan neither + nor
Ketika nor atau or digunakan, kata kerja bergantung pada subject yangberdekatan dengan kata kerja
Example :
Is either my father or my brithers responsible?
Pronouns either dan Neither adalah singular. Maka kata kerja selalu singular
Example :
Either of is capable of doing the job
Neither dan either bisa berbentuk plural di informal writing. (dijembatani dengan kata “of”)
Example :
Are either of you taking this seriously?
6. Pseudo subject
“There” dan “Here” bukanlah subject. Subject ada disebelah kata tersebut.
Example :
There are two reasons. For this
7. Third party singular
Example :
She teaches English ("s/es hanya pada “Presnt Tense”)
8. Word end in –s
Kata “singular” yang memang berakhiran “s”
Example : The news from the fornt is bad
Tapi, kata yang berakhiran “s” adalah plural
Example : my assets were wiped out in the depression
