Leadership

Leadership is a process of getting things done through people. The quarterback moves the team toward a touchdown. The senior patrol leader guides the troop to a high rating at the camporee. The mayor gets the people to support new policies to make the city better.

These leaders are getting things done by working through people — football players, Scouts, and ordinary citizens. They have used the process of leadership to reach certain goals.
Leadership is not a science. So being a leader is an adventure because you can never be sure whether you will reach your goal — at least this time. The touchdown drive may end in a fumble. The troop may have a bad weekend during the camporee. Or the city’s citizens may not be convinced that the mayor’s policies are right. So these leaders have to try again, using other methods. But they still use the same process the process of good leadership.

Leadership means responsibility. It’s adventure and often fun, but it always means responsibility. The leader is the guy the others look to to get the job done. So don’t think your job as a troop leader or a staff member will be just an honor. It’s more than that. It means that the other Scouts expect you to take the responsibility of getting the job done. If you lead, they will do the job. If you don’t, they may expect you to do the job all by yourself.That’s why it’s important that you begin right now to learn what leadership is all about.Wear your badge of office proudly. It does not automatically make you a good leader. But it identifies you as a Scout who others want to follow — if you’ll let them by showing leadership.You are not a finished leader. No one ever is, not even a president or prime minister. But you are an explorer of the human mind because now you are going to try to learn how to get things done through people. This is one of the keys to leadership.
You are searching for the secrets of leadership. Many of them lie locked inside you. As you discover them and practice them, you will join a special group of people-skilled leaders.

Komodo Island is the NEW 7 Wonders of The World

Komodo Island is an island located in the Nusa Tenggara Islands. Komodo Island is known as a habitat for native animals dragons. This island is also the Komodo National Park which is managed by the Central Government. Komodo Island in the eastern island of Sumbawa, which are separated by the Sape Strait. Oya, saya juga minta dukungannya ya untuk artikel kontes SEO yang saya ikuti yaitu "TEAK 123 best teak garden furniture manufacturer wholesale in Indonesia"

In 1910 the Dutch named the island in the southern province of East Nusa Tenggara is the nickname of Komodo Island. This story begins with Lieutenant Steyn van Hens Broek who tries to prove statements about the presence of Dutch troops large animal resembling a dragon on the island. Steyn then killed a dragon and bring documentation to the Museum and Botanical Garden in Bogor to be investigated.

After World War I, a scientific expedition designed to conduct research dragons. In 1926, the expedition led by W. Douglas Burden from the American Museum of Natural History with the most modern research tools, doing research for months.

The expedition which involves dozens of people were caught 27 animals dragons. They perform surgical anatomy and identification of species. From this first comprehensive scientific report on the Komodo dragon is made.



Described that the dragons have a large head and strong, has a pair of shining eyes, her skin was hard, thick and wiry. Having kelambir wrinkled skin under her neck.
The shape is similar to a lizard, with four big fat legs and tail are also a big fat long. Has 26 sharp teeth, each measuring 4 cm, has a forked tongue is bright red. If viewed from a distance, the tongue is extended to resemble a fire, because dragons are often stuck out his tongue like a snake.

Komodo also skilled hunters. He relies on the bite and poison the bacteria in his saliva to paralyze prey. He will follow prey that have been hurt for days, until finally died, then he ate it. As a carnivore and scavenger (scavengers), dragons are only found on the island of Komodo, Rinca, Padar, Gili Motang Owadi and Samiin. Komodo dragons are also known as a champion of animal swimming. That's how he was doing exploration on the islands around Flores. Meanwhile, in the mid-20th century, in Australia discovered fossils of ancient creatures that once studied very similar to the dragons. Based on carbon test, the fossil was believed to have originated from the period 60-30 million years ago. This means that dragons once inhabited mainland Australia in prehistoric times.

But researchers are still puzzled by the relationship with the fossil Komodo dragons from Australia. Although the earth's geological history indicates that the former Australia and some islands of Indonesia is one plate, but the Komodo Island is estimated to form about 1 million years ago.
While based on research, prehistoric dragons are extinct at least 30 million years ago, prior to Komodo Island is formed. So why dragons are found only on Komodo Island and its surroundings? Since when did inhabit the island of Komodo dragons? While it is never found traces of rawhide dragons elsewhere (except Australia). This is one mystery that demands further research.

Komodo Island is the NEW 7 Wonders of The World

- Komodo Island

Administratively, this island including the District of Komodo, West Manggarai regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Komodo Island is the most western tip of Nusa Tenggara Timur province, bordering the province of West Nusa Tenggara.


On the island of Komodo dragons animals live and breed well. Until August 2009, on this island there are about 1,300 dragons tail. Coupled with other islands, such as Island and Rinca and Gili Motang, their numbers totaled about 2500 tails. There are also approximately 100 individuals dragons in Wae Wuul Nature Reserve on the mainland island of Flores, but not including the Komodo National Park.

- The Inhabitants of Komodo Island

Komodo dragons are native to islands of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara. The island's most lots occupied by dragons are named according to the name of this animal when found in 1910, namely the island of Komodo (Komodo Island).

These giant lizards, including the nearly extinct animal, with a population of less than 4,000 wild birds. To protect the Komodo dragon, in 1980 agreed to form a conservation area in the form of Komodo National Park on Komodo Island and small islands around it.
Distribution and population of dragons in the past three decades is declining and increasingly threatened its existence, mainly due to hunting deer, as its main prey. Even the population on the island of Padar known to have been lost since the late 1990s, whereas in the early 1980s, the Komodo dragon can still be found there. Attention and conservation of this species should be given in particular, because the population of dragons on the verge of extinction.


For some residents on the island of Komodo, these animals are considered more dangerous to humans than crocodiles, because the content of bacteria in their saliva that can cause severe infections.

Typically, dragons mating season occurs between June to July. In August, female dragons will dig a nest of birds nest mound former Coral (Megapodius Reindwardt) on the hill and nest hole in the ground, to keep their eggs which can reach 38 points. Eggs are usually guarded by its mother, but the new child born in February or March is not maintained, even frequently eaten.

Komodo dragons take five years to grow to the size of two feet and can live for up to 30 years. Entering the initial period of 4-5 years are sexually mature dragons.

If clause and wish clause

IF Clause

IF Clause Type 1
if + Simple Present, will-Future
Example: If I find her address, I will send her an invitation.
The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don’t use a comma.
Example: I will send her an invitation if I find her address.
Note: Main clause and / or if clause might be negative. See Simple Present und will-Future on how to form negative sentences.
Example: If I don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.

Use
Conditional Sentences Type I refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time. We don’t know for sure whether the condition actually will be fulfilled or not, but the conditions seems rather realistic – so we think it is likely to happen.
Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.
I want to send an invitation to a friend. I just have to find her address. I am quite sure, however, that I will find it.
Example: If John has the money, he will buy a Ferrari.
I know John very well and I know that he earns a lot of money and that he loves Ferraris. So I think it is very likely that sooner or later he will have the money to buy a Ferrari.

Conditional Sentences

Because conditional sentences are quite complex in both form and meaning, they are a problem for most learners of English. If you have a good understanding of the English tense system and of the modal auxiliaries, you will find it easier to understand and use conditional sentences. (The sentence you just read is a predictive conditional sentence.)
All conditional sentences contain a dependent clause and an independent clause. The dependent clause usually begins with if; it expresses a condition. The independent clause expresses a result of the condition. The if-clause is usually first, but the order of the clauses is usually not important. Thus, these two sentences have basically the same meaning:
If she goes to the store, she will buy ice cream.
She will buy ice cream if she goes to the store.
You have probably noticed that different teachers, textbooks, and Web sites sometimes explain the same thing in different ways. This seems to be especially true of conditional sentences. However, two different explanations can both be correct, especially if the difference is due to the fact that complicated material has been organized in different ways. This is often true of explanations of conditionals that you find in your textbooks. Here conditional sentences are divided into three types based on their meanings: real, predictive, and imaginative conditional sentences.

A. Real conditional sentences can express generalizations and inferences.

1. Generalizations include facts that are always true and never change, and they include present or past habitual activities that are or were usually true.
Real conditionals expressing generalizations usually have the same tense (usually simple present or simple past) in both clauses. However, if the simple present tense is used in the if-clause, will + verb can be used in the main clause without changing the meaning.
Examples of real conditional sentences expressing facts:
If water boils, it turns to steam.
If water boils, it will turn to steam.
Examples of real conditional sentences expressing habitual activities:
If he eats breakfast, he feels better all day.
If he eats breakfast, he will feel better all day.
If he ate breakfast, he felt better all day.
These generalizations can also be expressed by using when or whenever instead of if:
When water boils, it turns to steam.
When he eats breakfast, he feels better all day.
When he ate breakfast, he felt better all day.

2. Inferences are often expressed in real conditional sentences.
Real conditionals expressing inferences usually have parallel verb phrases in both clauses. However, if a modal which explicitly expresses an inference (must or should, for example) is used in the main clause, parallel verb phrases are not used.
Examples of real conditional sentences expressing inferences:
If today is Wednesday, it is George’s birthday.
If I can do it, anyone can do it.
if it is raining, the streets are getting wet.
If he was at school, he saw the accident.
If today is Wednesday, it must be George’s birthday.
If I can do it, anyone must be able to do it.
if it is raining, the streets must be getting wet.
If he was at school, he must have seen the accident.

B. Predictive conditional sentences can express predictions and plans.

1. Predictive conditional sentences usually contain simple present tense in the if-clause and will or be going to in the result clause. However, a weaker modal of prediction (may or should, for example) can be used in the result clause to express less certainty.

2. Examples of predictive conditional sentences:
If the exam is hard, many students are going to fail.
If Mary does well on the final exam, she will get an A in the class.
If George does well on the final exam, he may get an A in the class.
If Fred studies, he should pass the exam.

C. Imaginative conditional sentences are the most difficult for many learners of English because of the unusual relationship between form (the tenses used) and meaning.
In this type of conditional sentence, past tense refers to present or future time; past perfect tense refers to past time. Another problem for many learners of English is that were (not was) is used with singular subjects. Be is the only English verb with two past tense forms, but only one of them (were) is used in imaginative conditional sentences.
Imaginative conditional sentences can express hypothetical or contrary-to-fact events or states.

1. Hypothetical events or states are unlikely but possible in the present or future.
Imaginative conditional sentences expressing hypothetical events or states have a past tense verb in the if-clause and would + verb (or might or could + verb) in the result clause.
Examples of hypothetical conditional sentences (present and/or future time):
If George had enough money, he would buy a new car.
If I won the lottery, I would buy you a present.
If she knew the answer, she would tell us.
(George probably does not have enough money; I probably will not win the lottery; she probably does not know the answer.)

2. Contrary-to-fact events or states are either impossible in the present time or did not happen in the past.
Imaginative conditional sentences expressing present contrary-to-fact events or states have a past verb in the if-clause and would + verb (or might or could + verb) in the result clause. Some examples:
If I were you, I would not do that.
If she studied for exams, she would get better grades.
If it were raining, the streets would be wet.
(I am not you; she doesn’t study for exams; it isn’t raining.)
Imaginative conditional sentences expressing past contrary-to-fact events or states have a past perfect verb in the if-clause and would + have + verb (or might or could + have + verb) in the result clause. Some examples:
If George had had enough money, he would have bought a new car.
If I had won the lottery, I would have bought you a present.
If she had known the answer, she would have told us.
(George did not have enough money; I did not win the lottery; she did not know the answer.)

Intransitive Verb

An intransitive verb is an action verb, but it does not have a direct object. The action ends or is modified by an adverb or adverb phrase rather than being transferred to some person or object.
Typically, an adverb or prepositional phrase modifies an intransitive verb or the verb ends the sentence.
To determine whether a verb is intransitive ask whether the action is done in some way, in some direction or to some degree. Does a noun receive the action of the verb? If it does, then the verb is transitive and the person or thing that receives its action is the direct object.
[In the following examples, the intransitive verb is bold and the modifier is underlined.]
1. The man decided against a plea bargain.
>. The subject (the man) did something (decided) a particular way (against).
2. He refused because of his immaturity, not his lack of contrition.
>. The subject (He) did something (refused) for a particular reason (because of his immaturity).
3. Alice complained bitterly.
>. The subject (Alice) did something (complained) to a particular degree (bitterly).
4. At the end of the Roaring ’20s, the incarceration index rose slightly.
>. The subject (the index) did something (rose) in a particular direction (slightly).
5. When faced with the problem, the scholar paused.
>. The subject (scholar) did something (paused) at a particular time (when faced with the problem).
6. Earl fell.
>. The subject (Earl) did something (fell) and the action did not transfer to
someone or something.

The adverb or prepositional phrase answers a question about the verb:

The subject did something WHERE?
1. If Charlie had run into the street, he could have been injured.
2. The turtle may live in a small area of Arizona.
3. In 1973, the incarceration number inched upward.
4. Jordan drove into the lane.

The subject did something WHEN?
1. Thousands of cranes will return in the spring.
2. The number climbed in 1974 and in 1975.
3. Walter Payton died near the end of the century.
4. The company’s leader collapsed during a meeting.

The subject did something HOW or TO WHAT DEGREE?
1. The statistics come in any form you like.
2. Politicians and the public are complaining loudly.
3. His blood pressure kept climbing steadily.
4. She worked with care and precision.

The subject did something WHY?
1. Our elected officials listen because we vote.
2. Shoshana’s grades improved with the help of a tutor.
3. Germany’s expedition leader collapsed from the effort.
4. Elise competed for her family.

Transitive Verb

Transitive Verb
adalah kata kerja yang membutuhkan objek atau pelengkap penderita

Contoh:
He killed a snake. Ia membunuh seekor ular
• Forms of the object (bentuk-bentuk objek)
Kebanyakan kata kerja transitif memerlukan satu buah objek saja. Objek untuk kata kerja boleh dinyatakan dalam berbagai bentuk yang berbeda, antara lain:

 Noun (kata benda)
Contoh:
He killed a snake. Ia membunuh seekor ular

 Pronoun (kata ganti)
Contoh:
That snake bit her. Ular itu menggigitnya

 Infinitive (infinitif)
Contoh: He desires to success. Ia menginginkan sukses

 Gerund (kata kerja yang dibendakan)
Contoh:
He disliked hunting. Ia tak suka berburu

 Phrase (ungkapan)
Contoh:
She doesn’t know how to make things go.
Ia tidak tahu bagaimana membuat segala sesuatu berjalan dengan baik

 Clause (anak kalimat)
Contoh:
We don’t know what she wants. Kami tidak tahu apa yang dikehendakinya

o The double object (objek ganda)
Beberapa kata kerja transitif memerlukan dua buah objek setelah kata-kata kerja itu, yang satu di antaranya biasanya adalah nama benda tertentu, dan yang lain merupakan orang atau hewan lain tertentu.
Benda yang dikatakan itu disebut direct object (pelengkap penderita langsung), orang atau hewan lain yang dikatakan itu disebut indirect object (pelengkap penderita tak langsung).
Beberapa kata kerja transitif, misalnya give, bring, buy, send, tell, dsb, harus mempunyai dua buah objek yang dinyatakan direct object (objek langsung) dan indirect object (objek tak langsung).

Contoh:
• They give the boy a book. Ia memberi anak laki-laki itu sebuah buku
• the boy = indirect object
• a book = direct object
atau
• They gave a book to the boy. Ia memberi sebuah buku kepada anak laki-laki itu
a book = direct object
the boy = indirect object

Catatan:
Cara lain membedakan dua buah objek itu dengan memperhatikan bahwa indirect object itu selalu berada di tempat yang pertama sesudah kata kerja transitif.
Kalau indirect object itu diletakkan sesudah direct object itu, indirect object harus didahului oleh kata depan “for” atau “to”.

Transitive verb with complement (kata kerja transitif dengan pelengkap)
Kata-kata kerja transitif tertentu yang memerlukan bukan saja sebuah objek, melainkan juga kata atau kata-kata lain untuk membuat predikasi lengkap, disebut transitive verbs of incomplete predication.

Kata atau kata-kata tambahan untuk membuat predikasi lengkap itu, disebut complement (komplemen/pelengkap). Complement dalam tujuh bentuk yang berbeda: kata benda, kata sifat, partisip, kata depan dengan objeknya, kata kerja infinitif, kata tambahan atau anak kalimat kata benda (a noun clause).

Transitive verbs used Intransitively (kata kerja transitif yang dipakai secara intransitif)
Ada dua cara, kata kerja transitif dapat dijadikan intransitif :
1. Apabila kata kerja dipakai dalam pengertian umum yang sedemikian rupa sehingga tiada objek.
Contoh:
• New-born children see, but kittens are born blind.
Anak yang baru lahir dapat melihat, tetapi anak kucing dilahirkan buta (sementara tidak dapat melihat)
2. Apabila kata ganti refleksif dihilangkan.
Contoh:
• Move yorself forward. Gerakkan diri anda maju ke depan (transitif)
• Move forward. Bergerak maju (intransitif)

Passive Voice

Kalimat aktif merupakan kalimat yang subjek kalimatnya adalah pelaku sebuah tindakan, sedangkan kalimat pasif adalah kalimat yang subjeknya bukan pelaku suatu tindakan. Si subjek adalah si penerima akibat dari sebuah tindakan.

Bandingkan kalimat-kalimat berikut:
• Aktif : Susi mengetik surat ini kemarin
• Pasif : Surat ini diketik oleh Susi kemarin
• Aktif : Kucingku membunuh seekor tikus
• Pasif : Seekor tikus dibunuh oleh kucingku

Catatan:
Gunakan bentuk pasif jika pelaku tindakan tidak begitu penting.

Contoh:
• Menara ini dibangun tahun 1955
Kalau kita perlu menyebut siapa pelaku suatu tindakan, gunakan kata oleh (by)


Contoh:
• Menara ini telah dibangun oleh Pemerintah Daerah pada tahun 1955

Rumus umum untuk membentuk suatu kalimat Pasif
• Aktif : S + Verb (Kata Kerja) + Objek + dll
• Pasif : Objek + to be + Verb 3 (Kata Kerja Bentuk III) ( + by subjek) + dll

To be yang digunakan
1. Present : is, am, are
2. Past : was, were
3. Perfect : been (di depan have, has, atau had)
4. Future : be (setelah modals)
5. Continuous : being (di depan salah satu dari 7 to be di atas)

Hal-hal yang perlu diketahui dan diingat
1. Untuk menyatakan suatu kalimat dalam bentuk pasif, tenses tidak berubah. Tenses harus sama dengan kalau kita menyatakannya dalam bentuk aktif. Yang berubah hanya kata kerja-nya.
2. Kata kerja yang tidak memiliki objek (Kata Kerja Intransitif) tidak dapat diubah menjadi kalimat pasif, seperti, menangis, mendidih, terbit, dll.

Contoh-contoh kalimat aktif dan pasif
1. Jack sings a song (active)
2. A song is sung by Jack (Passive)
1. Jack sang a song yesterday (active)
2. A song was sung by Jack yesterday (passive)
1. Jack has sung a song (active)
2. A song has been sung by Jack (passive)

1. Jack is singing a song (active)
2. A song is being sung by Jack (passive)
1. Jack can sing a song (active)
2. A song can be sung by Jack (passive)

Beberapa Bentuk Kalimat Passive
1) Passive Imperative Sentence
Rumus:
Let + objek + be + Kata Kerja Bentuk III

2) Passive Infinitive: It is/was time
Rumus:
It is/was time for + objek + to be + kata kerja III

3) Negative Passive Imperative Sentence
Rumus:
Subjek + be + Kata kerja III + not to + infinitive

4) Passive Sentence with Verbs of Perception

Modifier

Modifier berfungsi untuk menerangkan waktu (modifier of time), menerangkan tempat (modifier of place), atau menerangkan cara dalam melakukan kegiatan (modifier of manner). Modifier pada umumnya berupa prepositional phrase (yaitu sekelompok kata yang dimulai oleh kata depan dan diakhiri oleh noun). Misalnya: in the morning (pada pagi hari), on the table (di atas meja), at the university (di universitas).

Selain itu, modifier dapat juga berupa single adverb (misalnya: yesterday (kemarin), outdoors (luar gedung), hurriedly (dengan buru-buru) atau adverbial phrase (misalnya: last night (tadi malam), next year (tahun depan). Modifier adalah menjawab pertanyaan ‘when’, where, dan ‘how’.

Contoh :

1. John bought a book at the bookstore (John membeli sebuah buku di toko buku)
2. Yeyes was swimming in the swimming pool at 4 pm. yesterday. (Yeyes sedang berenang di kolam renang jam 4 sore kemarin)
3. My father is driving very fast. (Ayahku sedang mengendarai (mobil) dengan sangat cepat)
4. The milk is in the refrigerator. (Susunya ada di dalam kulkas)
5. We usually eat dinner at 7 pm. (Kami biasanya makan malam jam 7).

Perhatikan:
1. Modifier of time biasanya diungkapkan paling akhir jika kalimat tersebut memiliki lebih dari satu modifier.
2. Tidak semua kalimat membutuhkan modifier.

Verb complement

Verb Complements :
A Verb complement(notice the spelling of the word) is any word or phrase that completes the sense of a subject, an object, or a verb. As you will see, the terminology describing predicates and complements can overlap and be a bit confusing. Students are probably wise to learn one set of terms, not both.
•A subject complementfollows a linking verb; it is normally an adjective or a noun that renames or defines in some way the subject.
o A glacier is a huge body of ice.
o Glaciers are beautiful and potentially dangerous at the same time.
o This glacier is not yet fully formed. (verb form acting as an adjective, a participle)

Adjective complements are also called predicate adjectives; noun complements are also called predicate nouns or predicate nominatives.

•An object complementfollows and modifies or refers to a direct object. It can be a noun or adjective or any word acting as a noun or adjective.
o The convention named Dogbreath Vice President to keep him happy. (The noun “Vice President” complements the direct object “Dogbreath”; the adjective “happy” complements the object “him.”)
o The clown got the children too excited. (The participle “excited” complements the object “children.”)

•A verb complementis a direct or indirect object of a verb.
o Granny left Raoul all her money. (Both “money” [the direct object] and “Raoul” [the indirect object] are said to be the verb complements of this sentence.)

Functions of Verbs

Verbs and verb phrases perform nine main grammatical functions within sentences in the English language. Both native English-speaking and ESL students must learn the nine functions to fully and correctly use verbs and verb phrases in both spoken and written English. The first five functions of verbs and verb phrases are:

1. Predicate
2. Noun phrase modifier
3. Adjective phrase complement
4. Subject
5. Subject complement

Verbs are traditionally defined as “action or state of being words.” Verb phrases are defined as phrases that consist of one or more verbs and any number of objects, modifiers, and complements including noun phrases, verb phrases, adverb phrases, and prepositional phrases.

Verbs as Predicates
The first grammatical function that verbs and verb phrases can perform is the predicate of clauses. A clause is defined as consisting of a subject and a predicate. For example, the following italicized verbs and verb phrases function as predicates:

• My puppy drinks milk.
• I am studying linguistics.
• The vase was broken by the cat.
• We have eaten all the pie.
• The students will finish their homework.
• She will have earned her degree in May.
• Those children have been being bad.

Verbs as Noun Phrase Modifiers
The second grammatical function that verbs and verb phrases can perform is the noun phrase modifier. Noun phrase modifiers are defined as words and phrases that describe a noun or noun phrase. For example, the following italicized verbs and verb phrases function as noun phrase modifiers:
• The woman reading the book just yelled at me.
• My dog is the puppy chewing on the rawhide.
• I saw the man sleeping on the bus.
• Do you have a book to read in the car?
• The food to eat is on the table.
• The most recent news reported by the anchor made me sad.

Verbs as Adjective Phrase Complements
The third grammatical function that verbs and verb phrases in the form of infinitives can perform is the adjective phrase complement. Adjective phrase complements are defined as phrases and clauses that complete the meaning of an adjective phrase. For example, the following italicized verbs and verb phrases function as adjective phrase complements:
• You should be excited to study grammar.
• My children are sad to see their grandparents leave.
• Your professor is curious to know why you dropped her class.
• The students are eager to learn about current events.
• His coworker is frightened to ask for a promotion.
• I am irrationally afraid to fly.

Verbs as Subjects
The fourth grammatical function that verbs and verb phrases can perform is the subject of clauses. Only verb phrases in the form of present participles and infinitives can function as subjects. For example, the following italicized verbs and verb phrases function as subjects:
• Swimming is good exercise.
• Reading books is educational.
• Your eating health food impresses me.
• To err is human.
• To forget to wear pants is embarrassing.
• To never visit the library disappoints librarians.
Traditional grammars generally use the term gerund for present participles that perform nominal functions, or the functions prototypically filled by nouns and noun phrases.

Verbs as Subject Complements
The fifth grammatical function that verbs and verb phrases can perform is the subject complement. Subject complements are defined as words and phrases that follow a copular verb and refer back to the subject. Predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives are both subject complements. Only verb phrases in the form of present participles and infinitives can function as subject complements. For example, the following italicized verbs and verb phrases function as subject complements:
• My favorite pastime is reading.
• His hobbies are writing and editing articles.
• Her weekend chores are washing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom.
• My job is to repair damaged books.

The first five functions of verbs and verb phrases in English are predicate, noun phrase modifier, adjective phrase complement, subject, and subject complement. Both English-speaking and ESL students must learn the first five functions to use verbs and verb phrases properly in both spoken and written forms of English.

Subject-Verb Agreement

Rule (ketentuan) yang paling penting dalam bahasa Inggris adalah bahwa antara subject dengan verb harus in agreement. Artinya, jika subject-nya singular maka verb-nya juga harus singular. Sebaliknya, jika subject-nya plural maka verb-nya juga harus plural.

1. Singular subject – singular verb
Yang dimaksud dengan singular subject adalah subject pronoun he, she, dan it, atau nouns yang dapat digantikan dengan he, she atau it; Sedangkan yang dimaksud dengan singular verbs adalah verb1+es/s, is/was, serta verb phrase seperti: is/was + verb-ing/verb3, has +verb3, has been verb-ing dan has been verb3.

Pola-pola singular subject-singular verb disajikan pada tabel berikut:

Singular subject	Singular verb	Tenses
He/She/it	verb1 + es/s	simple present
He/She/it	is + verb-ing	present continuous
