Subject and Verb Agreement
(Keselarasan Subjek dan Kata Kerja)
Subject and Verb Agreement adalah aturan dalam grammar bahasa Inggris yang menyatakan bahwa kata kerja (verb) harus sesuai dengan subjeknya (subject).
Artinya:
- Subjek tunggal (singular) → Verb ditambah -s / -es
- Subjek jamak (plural) → Verb tanpa -s
Contoh:
Subject ~ Verb
She ~ works
He ~ eats
They ~ work
We ~ eat
Contoh kalimat:
✔ She works every day.
✔ They work every day.
1. Singular Subject + Singular Verb
Jika subjek tunggal, verb harus ditambah -s / -es.
Contoh:
The teacher teaches English.
My brother plays football.
Contoh Soal TOEFL
The student ____ very diligent.
A. study
B. studies
C. studying
D. studied
✅ Jawaban: B (studies)
Penjelasan:
Subject = The student (tunggal)
Maka verb harus studies
2. Plural Subject + Plural Verb
Jika subjek jamak, verb tidak memakai -s.
Contoh:
The students study English.
My friends live in Bandung.
Contoh Soal
The students ____ in the library.
A. studies
B. studying
C. study
D. studied
✅ Jawaban: C (study)

Subject = students (plural)
Maka verb = study
3. Subject Dipisahkan oleh Kata Tambahan
Kadang subject dipisahkan oleh kata seperti:
- with
- together with
- along with
- as well as
- in addition to
Verb tetap mengikuti subject utama.
Contoh:
The teacher with the students ___ in the classroom.
A. are
B. were
C. is
D. be
✅ Jawaban: C (is)

Subject utama = teacher (singular)
Walaupun ada students, verb tetap mengikuti teacher.
4. Indefinite Pronouns (Selalu Singular)
