TABLE OF CONTENT
 CHAPTER I

PRELIMINARY

A. Rationalization of the Importance of CBR

The skill to make CBR on the writer can test the ability to summarize and analyze a
book and compare books analyzed with other books, recognize and give value and criticize a
paper that is analyzed

Often we are confused in choosing reference books for us to read and understand,
sometimes we only choose one book to read but the results are still unsatisfactory for
example in terms of language analysis and discussion, therefore the authors make CBR
receptive oral language skills to facilitate readers in choosing books specific reference to the
subject matter of english grammar.

B. Purpose of CBR Writing

Criticize or compare a book about receptive oral language skills and compare with
two different books on the same topic. What is compared in the book is the completeness
of the discussion, the interrelationship between the chapters, and the weaknesses and
strengths of the books analyzed.

C. Benefits of CBR

The benefits we can conclude from the above are:

1. Add insight into knowledge about the understanding of english grammar, characteristics
of english grammar, theories of english grammar and others.
2. Facilitate the reader to get the core of a book that has been equipped with a book
summary, discussion of the contents of the book, as well as the strengths and
weaknesses of the book.
3. Train students to formulate and draw conclusions on the analyzed books.

SUMMARY OF THE BOOK

MAIN BOOK
CHAPTER 1
In formal spoken or written English, every sentence must be complete.
The basic rule is that all sentences must have a subject (S), which can be a
pronoun, a noun, or a noun phrase, and a verb (V), which can also be a verb
phrase. )n many cases, the verb can be followed by a direct object (O).
Consider the followingexamples.
1. She works. (S) + (V)

2. Fish swim. (S) + (V)

3. The bus driver needs a
break. (S) + (V) + (O)
4. My mother liked the
movie. (S) + (V) + (O)

Every sentence must have a subject. The imperative sentence is an

exception to this basic rule, because the subject, you, is understood. )mperative
sentences are used to instruct someone to do something.

Noun phrases

The subject of a sentence can be a noun phrase, which can be simple or

complex. The subject can be one word or a group of words that
includes a noun together with other words that provide information
about the noun. Some noun phrases can be quite complex. Consider
the following sentences.

 The boy went to theplayground.

 The lively boy went to the playground.

 The lively boy next door went to the playground.
