Rangkuman Materi Concord

Concord atau agreement adalah persesuaian unsur-unsur yang membentuk suatu kata, frase atau kalimat menurut kaidah kebahasaan yang berlaku yaitu berupa persesuaian antara subjek kalimat dengan kata kerja, tenses dengan keterangan waktu, dan persesuaian kata ganti orang.

Persesuaian Subjek dengan Predikat

  • Persesuaian subjek dengan predikat yaitu jika subjek kalimat berbentuk tunggal maka predikatnya harus tunggal.
    Subjek tunggal → predikat tunggal (is, was, has V3, Vs/es)
  • Persesuaian subjek dengan predikat yaitu subjek kalimat berbentuk jamak maka predikatnya harus jamak.
    Subjek jamak → predikat jamak (are, were, have V3, V1 tanpa s/es)

Aturan yang berlaku pada persesuaian subjek dengan predikat, sebagai berikut:

  1. Subjek berupa noun phrase akan berpengaruh terhadap predikat yaitu kata benda sebelum kata depan yang pertama.
    Noun 1 + preposition 1 + noun 2 + preposition 2 + verb/predikat
  2. Subjek kalimat berbentuk tunggal jika diawali oleh kata: Every …, Each of …, Neither of …, One of …, Either of …, None of … + kata benda jamak ® predikat tunggal.
  3. Subjek berupa jumlah jarak, volume, berat, dan waktu dianggap sebagai subjek yang berbentuk tunggal.
  4. Subjek berbentuk gerund/ Ving selalu dianggap berbentuk tunggal.
    Ving + kata benda tunggal/jamak + predikat tunggal
  5. Subjek tunggal tetap diikuti oleh verb/auxiliary tunggal jika subjek tersebut diikuti ungkapan berikut:
    • As well as
    • Along with
    • Together with
    • In addition to
    • Accompanied by
    • As with
    • No less than
    • Including
    • According to
  6. Berikut daftar subjek tertentu yang dianggap tunggal sehingga diikuti predikat tunggal juga.

    Any + singular noun

    Some + singular noun

     
    Anybody Somebody Nobody
    Anyone Someone Noone
    anythingSomething Nothing
  7. A number of yang berarti sejumlah bermakna jamak sehingga predikat berbentuk jamak. Sedangkan the number of yang berarti jumlah bermakna tunggal sehingga predikat berbentuk tunggal.
  8. Untuk kata berpasangan yaitu either … or … dan neither … nor … , bentuk predikat tergantung dari kata setelah or atau nor apakah tunggal atau jamak.
  9. Subjek yang dirangkai oleh and atau both … and … harus berpredikat jamak. Untuk several, many, few + predikat jamak
  10. Subjek berupa none, all any, majority, half, no maka predikatnya tergantung pada noun setelahnya.
    none, all any, majority, half, no + singular noun + singular verb + plural noun + plural verb
  11. Kata hubung and menghubungkan jenis dan bentuk kata yang setara, yaitu:
    Adjective + and + adjective
    Clause (kalimat) + and + clause (kalimat)
    Noun + and + noun
    Gerund (Ving) + and + gerund (Ving)
    Phrase + and + phrase
  12. Ungkapan not only … but also … atau as well as untuk menghubungkan jenis dan bentuk kata yang setara.
    • Subjek + verb + not only + (noun, adjective, adverb, phrase) + but also + (noun, adjective, adverb, phrase)
