Exercise : Subject and Verb Agreement Exercise

Classroom meeting material 5^th October 2016

Today, we’re learn about subject and verb agreement. Subject verb agreement is compatibility between verb(kata kerja) with subject in the sentences. Just like number, that is singular (tunggal) or plural (jamak).

The subject could be noun (kata benda), pronoun (kata ganti), or others contruction that function as noun, just like gerund and infinitive. On the basis of singular subject (subject tunggal) is used singular verb (kata kerjatunggal) meanwhile plural subject (subject jamak) is used plural verb (kata kerjajamak). Let’s learn together!!!
