SUBJECT + VERB AGREEMENT

Pengertian Subject-Verb Agreement

Subject-verb agreement adalah persesuaian antara verb dengan subject dalam hal number, yaitu: singular (tunggal) atau plural (jamak). Subjek dapat berupanoun, 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).

	Rumus	Contoh
Simple Present Tense	S + Verb 1	She go to school.
Singular	Singular Subject + Vs/es/ies	The boy plays football.
Plural	Plural Subject + Verb1	They play football.

Singular à she/he/it menggunakan verb ies/es/is

Plural     à they/we/i/you menggunakan verb 1

Contoh :
