Yuk Ketahui Beberapa Subyek ini Verb-nya Selalu dalam Bentuk Singular

Comment
Verb Agreement (Concord) merupakan salah tipe soal yang sering dimunculkan dalam soal- soal grammar bahasa Inggris. Kebingungan kita adalah menentukan bentuk kata kerja yang cocok apakah dalam singular atau plural. Tentu saja bentuk kata kerja dipengaruhi oleh kata benda sebagai subyek di awal kalimat. Aturan yang umum adalah bila subject-nya singular, maka verb-nya singular, demikian juga sebaliknya. Dengan melihat bentuk subyek misalnya,  kata students, kita bisa menyimpulkan bahwa kata tersebut bentuk jamak, sehingga kata kerjanya pasti dalam bentuk jamak (tanpa penambahan s/es dalam kata kerja bentuk simple present tense) pula. Juga bentuk uncountable nouns seperti money, sand, air, dust, etc, kata kerja nya mesti dalam bentuk singular.

Akan tetapi bila menemui kalimat dengan subyek- subyek tertentu, pasti kita akan dibuat bingung. Penambahan s/es, dalam noun tidak serta merta membuat benda tersebut dimasukkan dalam list benda yang verb-nya jamak, tetapi bisa saja verb-nya bernilai tunggal. Nah, berikut ini sudah saya kompile beberapa kata benda subyek yang bentuk verb-nya selalu tunggal dan jamak antara lain,

Kata-kata sebagai subyek yang verb-nya selalu tunggal
  • athletics = Ilmu atletik
  • behavior = perilaku
  • ceramics = ilmu membuat keramik
  • civics = ilmu kewarganegaraan
  • clothing = pakaian 
  • economics =  Ilmu ekonomi
  • ethics = ilmu etika 
  • equipment = alat- alat
  • furniture = perabot
  • knowledge = pengetahuan
  • mumps = penyakit gondok
  • news = berita
  • Philippines = negara filipina
  • statistics = ilmu statistik
  • traffic = rambu- rambu lalu lintas
  • United States = Amerika Serikat
  • etc.
Contoh kalimat 
  1. Ceramics needs a great deal of practice for proficiency. (Ilmu membuat keramik membutuhkan banyak latihan untuk kemahiran).
  2. Politics offers a challenging career to both men and women in this era. (Politik menawarkan karir yang menantang bagi pria dan wanita di era ini)
  3. Knowledge is power to change the world. (Pengetahuan adalah kekuatan untuk mengubah dunia)
  4. Athletics provides important opportunities for physical development. (Ilmu atletik memberikan kesempatan penting untuk perkembangan fisik
  5. We are interested that economics is being taught this semester. (Kami tertarik bahwa ekonomi sedang diajarkan semester ini)
  6. Statistics was my favorite subject in college last semester. (Statistik adalah mata pelajaran favorit saya di perguruan tinggi semester lalu).
Kesimpulan
Beberapa bentuk subyek yang selalu memiliki verb- tunggal yang terlihat seperti bentuk jamak (akhiran s/es) seperi economics, civics, politics, statistics, dsb diartikan sebagai suatu bidang ilmu. Dalam situasi tertentu, beberapa kata tersebut bisa memiliki verb jamak, contoh pada kalimat berikut ini,
  1. In this particular situation, the economics are hard to determine.
  2. Dishonest politics were usually used to win the election.
  3. Because of the deadline, statistics were compiled quickly for the report.
Semoga Bermanfaat.
