Paano gumaling sa English? ‖ Subject-Verb Agreement Basic Rule ‖ Teacher Aubrey Bermudez

Brief Summary

This video provides a simple explanation of subject-verb agreement in English. It defines subjects and verbs, explains the basic rule that singular subjects take singular verbs and plural subjects take plural verbs, and provides examples. It also touches on irregular nouns and linking verbs. The video concludes with a short quiz to test understanding.

  • Subject-verb agreement is essential for forming correct sentences.
  • Singular subjects require singular verbs, while plural subjects require plural verbs.
  • Irregular nouns change spelling to indicate plurality.

Introduction to Subject-Verb Agreement

The video introduces the topic of subject-verb agreement, emphasizing that it is a fundamental aspect of English grammar. It aims to simplify the rules of subject-verb agreement, which can often seem complicated. The presenter promises to provide the easiest way to learn the basic rule of subject-verb agreement, which is applicable to all other rules.

Defining Subjects and Verbs

Before explaining the rule, the video defines "subject" and "verb." The subject is who or what the sentence is about, while the verb is the action or state of being. Understanding these two components is crucial for mastering subject-verb agreement. The presenter highlights the importance of learning about subjects and verbs to improve English skills.

Basic Rule of Subject-Verb Agreement

The core concept of subject-verb agreement is that the subject and verb must agree in number. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. To simplify, singular refers to one, while plural refers to two or more. The video explains a simple trick: singular subjects usually don't end in "s," while singular verbs usually do. Conversely, plural subjects usually end in "s," while plural verbs usually don't.

Examples of Subject-Verb Agreement

The video provides several examples to illustrate the rule. For instance, "Dog eats" (singular) versus "Dogs eat" (plural), and "The car stops" (singular) versus "The cars stop" (plural). These examples clearly demonstrate how the presence or absence of "s" on the subject and verb changes depending on whether they are singular or plural. The presenter also uses examples with names, such as "Lisa sings" (singular) and "Lisa and Loren sing" (plural).

Irregular Nouns

The video addresses irregular nouns, which do not follow the standard "add -s" rule for pluralization. Instead, their spelling changes (e.g., child becomes children, person becomes people). These exceptions require memorization and are important to consider when applying subject-verb agreement. The presenter promises to discuss irregular nouns in more detail in future lessons.

More Examples and Linking Verbs

Additional examples of irregular nouns are provided, such as "foot" becoming "feet," "mouse" becoming "mice," and "tooth" becoming "teeth." The video also introduces linking verbs (is, are), which connect the subject to an adjective or complement. The same subject-verb agreement rule applies: "The room is hot" (singular) versus "The rooms are hot" (plural). More examples with linking verbs are given, such as "The learner is prudent" and "The learners are prudent."

Review and Quiz

The video reviews the basic rule of subject-verb agreement: singular subjects take singular verbs, and plural subjects take plural verbs. A five-item quiz is presented to test the viewer's understanding, with examples like "Mrs. Cruz teach/teaches her pupils well" and "The grade six pupils love/loves to sing the songs." The answers are then provided, reinforcing the concepts taught in the video.

Conclusion and Next Steps

The presenter encourages viewers to rewatch the video to master the concepts and to look forward to the second part of the lesson, which will cover 20 more detailed rules of subject-verb agreement. The link to the first learning English vlog is provided in the description box for further guidance. The video concludes with a call to subscribe and give a thumbs up if the viewer found the lesson helpful.

On our last video, itinuro ko sa inyo ang eight tried and tested tips plus one bonus tip kung paano gumaling sa English. For the continuation, I am now going to teach you the simplest way. Yes, you heard it right. Ang pinakamadaling paraan para matutunan ang basic role ng subject verb agreement. Maybe the reason kaya hindi tayo gumagaling sa English ay dahil hindi

1:33 natin alam ang pinakasimpleng paraan para bumuo ng simpleng pang-uungap. everytime we will speak or write. Marahil ang iba ay nahihirapan o nalilito. Pero hindi yan dapat. Una sa lahat, huwag nating isiping mahirap dahil may mga madaling paraan upang ito ay matutunan. At yan ang ituturo ko sa inyo ngayon. Ano pang hinihintay ninyo? Simulan na natin. There were so many rules out there regarding subject verb agreement in books, over the internet or even some other videos. But since I am here to simplify this topic, we will come up with the basic rule of subject verb

2:22 agreement or SVA which is applicable to all the other groups. Let's begin. Bago natin talakayin ang subject verb agreement rule, alamin muna natin ano ba ang kahulugan ng subject, ano ba ang kahulugan ng verb? Saan ba natin makikita ang subject? Saan ba natin makikita ang verb? Ano ang mga halimbawa ng subject? Ano ang mga halimbawa ng verb? At higit sa lahat, bakit sila mahalaga para gumaling ka? ka sa English

6:54 Mahusay! Nahanap natin ang ating mga subject. at ang ating mga verb. Bakit mahalagang pag-aralan ito sa ating mga pangungusap? Para makabuo tayo ng pangungusap, kailangan ang subject at ang verb. Kapag wala ang isa, hindi tayo makakabuo ng pangungusap. Maaari namang may subject at verb tayo sa ating pangungusap subalit hindi naman tama ang pagkakagamit. Ngayon iyan ang ating tatalakayin. Subject verb agreement. From the name itself, the subject needs to agree with its verb o Filipino. Kailangang

7:40 magkasundo ang pinag-uusapan sa pangungusap at panaguri o kilos sa pangungusap sa aspeto ng bilang nito o number. So if the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. On the other hand, if the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Sa lahat ng pangungusap na gagawin ninyo, lagi lamang hanapin ang subject at verb. Dapat ay lagi silang pareho. Lagi silang dapat na nagkakasundo sa bilang tanungin mo lagi ang iyong sarili. Sino pinag-uusapan sa pangungusap? Singular ba siya? Kung oo, singular verb din ang gagamitin mo. Kung

8:25 plural naman, plural verb ang dapat mong gamitin. Pasimplehin pa natin. Kapag sinabi nating singular, mula sa salitang ugat nito na single o isa lamang. Sa kabilang banda, kapag naman sinabing plural o plural form, ito ay dalawa o higit pa. Ganun kasimple. Singular, isa lamang. Plural dalawa o higit pa. Simple hindi ba? Lagi nating tandaan yan. Dahil nakabatay sa bilang ng subject natin kung singular ba ito o plural ang gagamitin nating verb. Pero paano mo malalaman singular o plural ang iyong subject? Paano mo rin

9:12 gagawing singular o plural ang iyong verb? Pasimplehin natin. Kapag ang subject ay walang s o singular, ang verb natin ay dapat na may s para maging singular din. Magkabaliktad sila. Sa kabilang banda, kapag ang subject ay may s o plural, ang verb natin ay dapat na walang s. Magkabaliktad pa rin sila. Ulitin natin. Magkabaliktad ang subject at verb natin. Narito ang mga halimbawa. Bibigyan ko kayo ng tig dalawang halimbawa para makumpara ninyo ang pagkakaiba ng singular sa plural. Simulan natin.

9:59 For the first sentence, we have singular. Dog eats. Singular subject dog. Walang sular verb eats. My sg eats. Second example, plural sentence. Joggs eat. Eat. Plural subject dogs s plural verb eat walang s dogs eat next example for the singular sent we have the car stops the car stops

10:49 singular subject carang s singular verb stops My the car stops for the plural sent the cars stop the cars stop plural subject cars may s plural verb stopang s for the third example for the singular sentence. Lisa sings Lisa singsular subject Lisa walang s o wala siyang kasama singular verb sings

11:37 Lisa sings for the plural sentence Lisa and Loren sing Lisa and Loren sing for the plural L and L dalawa sila at pinagtugtong sila gamit ang end. For our example, for the singular sentence the pupil answers the test. The pupil answers the test. Our singular subject pupil walang s. Our singular verb answers my s. For the plural sentence, the pupils answer the

12:25 test. The pupils answer the test. For the plural subject we have pupil s for the plural verb เ

14:33 Pero tandaan Hindi ito applikable sa lahat ng pagkakataon dahil mayroon tayong tinatawag na irregular nouns. Ulitin ko. Irregular nouns na para mabago ang bilang mula sa singular patungong plural ay kailangan nating baguhin ang spelling. Tatalakayin ko yan sa susunod nating mga pag-aaral. Balikan natin itong ating mga halimbawa. Dog dogs. Chair chairs. Frog frogs girls children

15:18 subukan niyong ulitin at gayahin niyo ako. Dog. Dogs. Chair chairs. Frog frogs. Girls. Child. Children. Hm. Parang naiba sa huling halimbawa. Child, children. Hm. Itong huling halimbawa natin na child, kung mapapansin ninyo, hindi natin sinabing childs ang kanyang plural form. Bagkos sinabi natin ay children. Bakit? Bakit hindi maaaring dagdagan lang ng s para maging plural

16:03 ito? Dahil ito ay kabilang sa tinatawag nating irregular nouns na kailangang palitan ng spelling kapag babaguhin from singular form to its plural form. Gaya ng sinabi ko kanina, bibigyan ko pa kayo ng ilang mga halimbawa. Narito ang ilan pang mga halimbawa ng ating irregular nouns. Narito ang kanilang singular at plural form. Sabayan ninyo ako. Child children. Child children. Person people person people.

16:49 Foot feet. Foot feet. Mouse mais mous mais tooth te tooth te man [Musika] woman women. Woman women. Eratum Erata. Erat Erata. Ilan lamang iyan sa mga irregular renouns. Napakarami pang ibang halimbawa nito na dapat ay maging pamilyar kayo. Abangan niyo iyan sa susunod nating mga

17:35 talakayan. Balikan na natin. Halimbawa, para sa ating singular subject na may singular verb, narito ang pangungusap. The dog barks. The dog barks. Ano ang napansin ninyo? Ang singular subject natin ay dog, walang s. Pero ang verb na ginamit natin ay parks, may s. Para sa ating plural subject na may plural verb, narito ang ating pangungusap. The dogs bark. The dogs bark. Ano ang

18:23 napansin ninyo? Sa pangalawang pangungusap naman, The dogs bark. Ang plural subject natin na dogs ay may s pero ang verb na ginamit na bark ay walang s. Narito ang table na ginawa ko para mas maunawaan ninyo. Singular subject walang s. Plural subject may s. Singular verb s. Plural verbal s. Singular subject walang s singular verb

19:08 s. Plural subject s. Plural verb walang s. Bigyan natin ng mga halimbawa para sa singular subject na may singular verb. Number one, the dog barks. The dog barks. Para sa plural subject na may plural verb, the dog spark. The dog spark. Ang singular subject natin na dog ay walang s kaya ang singular verb nitong barks ay may s. Ang plural subject natin na dons ay may s kaya ang plural verb nito na bark ay walang s.

19:55 Example number two, the chair is comfortable. The chair is comfortable. Ang ating singular subject na chair ay walang s. Kaya naman ang ating singular verb ay may s which is is. Para naman sa ating plural subject, mayroon tayong chairs na mayroong s na ginamitan ng plural verb na r which is walang s. Sa second example sentence natin ay gumamit tayo ng is at are. Marahil

20:40 magtataka kayo. Hindi ito kahalintulad ng ibang verb na nagpapakita ng kilos. Verb pa rin ang tawag natin dito. Ngunit tinatawag itong linking verbs na ginagamit para pagdugtungin ang subject at adjective o complement na tumutukoy sa subject. Kung saan kapag singular subject is ang ginagamit, may s pa rin. Kapag naman plural subject, R ang ginagamit. Walang s. Bibigyan ko pa kayo ng ilang mga halimbawa. The room is hot. The rooms are hot.

21:27 Sa ating unang pangungusap, ang subject ay room which is singular. Kaya ang ginamit nating linking verb ay is. Sa pangalawang pangungusap, ang ating subject ay rooms which is plural o marami. Kaya ang ginamit nating linking verb ay are. The learner is prudent. The learners are prudent. Sa ating unang pangungusap, ang ating subject ay learner. Ito ay singular o isa lamang kaya ang ginamit nating linking verb ay is. Sa ikalawa naman, ang ating subject ay learners. Ito ay marami o plural. Kaya

22:16 ang ginamit nating linking verb ay are. Next example, Anna is the coach. Anna and Frey are the coaches. Para sa ating unang pangungusap, ang ating pinag-uusapan subject ay si Anna. Ilan si Anna? Isa. Kaya ito ay singular. Kaya naman ang ginamit nating link verb ay is. Sa ikalawang pangungusap, ang ating pinag-uusapan ay sina Anna and Frey. Ilan sila? Plural. Dahil sila ay dalawa. Kaya naman

23:02 ang ginamit nating linking verb ay plural which is are. For our next examples, the TV show is entertaining. The TV shows are entertaining. Para sa unang pangusap, ang ating pinag-uusapan ay singular which is TV show. Kaya naman ang ginamit nating linking verb ay singular which is is. Para sa ikalawang panguungusap, ang ating pinag-uusapan o subject ay plural which is TV shows o maraming TV show. Kaya naman ang ating linking verb ay

23:49 plural which is are. And for the last example, para sa ating last example, the computer is useful. The computers are useful. Para sa ating unang pangungusap, ang ating subject ay computer. Ito ay isa lamang o singular kaya ginamitan natin ang singular linking verb na is. At para sa ikalawang halimbawa, ang ating subject o pinag-uusapan ay marami o plural, which is computers. Kaya ang ating linking verb ay plural din which is are.

24:37 Ian ang mga halimbawa natin na ginagamitan ng link verbs na is at. Tandaan kapag singular ang subject is ang gagamitin. Kapag naman plural ang subject are ang gagamitin. Balikan natin ang iba pa nating mga halimbawa. Singular subject with singular verb. Frog hops. Plural subject with plural verb frogs hop. For the singular subject with singular verb is frog. Walang s kaya ang verbya ay singular. Mayroong s the plural subject with

25:25 plural verb. Frogs ating subject frogs. kaya

26:52 dahil marami. And for the plural verb, we used the verb smell. Walang s. Ulitin natin. The dog barks. The dogs bark. The chair is comfortable. The chairs are comfortable. Frog hops. Frogs hop. The girl is smart. The girls are smart. The flower smells good. The flowers smell good. Marami na ba kayong natutunan? Kung oo, huwag ninyong kalimutan na i-subscribe ang ating channel. Hit the

The subject needs to agree with its verbino. Kailangang magkasundo ang pinag-uusapan sa pangungusap at panaburi o kilos sa pangungusap sa aspeto ng bilang. So if the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. On the other hand, if the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Kapag ang subject ay walang s o singular, ang verb natin ay dapat na may

28:26 s para maging singular din. Magkabaliktad sila. Sa kabilang banda, kapag ang subject natin ay may s o plural, ang verb natin ay dapat na walang s. Magkabaliktad pa rin sila.
