Penjelasan

Kata kerja mendapat tambahan s/es (additional infinitive) tergantung dengan

subjeknya. Lihat tabel dibagian bawah postingan ini.

Ketika tidak ada kata kerja utama, maka menggunakan is/am/are, penggunaan
is/am/are tergantung dengan subjeknya. Lihat tabel dibagian bawah postingan ini.

My friens and I menjadi jamak (plural), jika subjek jamak maka kata kerja yang
mengikuti tidak ada tambahan s/es.

Subjek he diikuti kata kerja dengan tambahan s/es (additional infinitive)

Santis cat = kucingnya santi, adalah singular subject (subjek tunggal), maka verb
yang mengikuti mendapat tambahan s/es

Mathematics adalah subjek tunggal (walau ada s diakhir, tetaplah tunggal, semua
nama mata pelajaran pasti diakhiri huruf s), maka menggunakan is

Laid adalah verb2, karena harus diubah menjadi simple present tense maka verb2
harus diganti dengan verb1, menjadi lay. Karena subjek she tunggal (additional
infinitive) maka lay mendapat tambahan s

An architect adalah subjek tunggal maka menggunakan is, dan kata kerja utama
mendapat tambahan s

Karena harus diubah menjadi simple present tense, maka subjek + verb1, karena
subjek jamak maka tidak ada tambahan s/es

Karena harus diubah menjadi simple present tense, maka abaikan kata had, ubah

bought ke verb1 menjadi buy. Men adalah iiregular plural (jamak yang tidak beraturan
karena subjek jamak maka tidak ada tambahan s/es

Untuk menentukan apakah kata kerja diikuti dengan s/es atau tidak itu tergantung
dengan subjeknya, dan subjek yang menggunakan is/am/are harus diperhatikan
dengan teliti. Untuk lebih jelas, perhatikan dan cermati tabel dibawah ini :
Subjek

Is/am/are

s/es

Am

No

You

Are

No

He

Is

Yes

She

Is

Yes

It
