CONCORD
Concord adalah kesesuaian atau kecocokan antara ‘predikat’ dengan ‘subjek’. Karena
yang menjadi predikat suatu kalimat adalah ‘verb’ (kata kerja), maka
concord biasa disebut dengan ‘verb agreement’ (kata kerja yang mengikuti
subjek).
Contoh:
1. Berkaitan dengan ‘subject’:
a. One of my friends is reading newspaper now
Subject= one of my friends (salah satu = tunggal)
b. All of my friends are playing football now.
Subject= All of my friends (semua = jamak)
2. Berkaitan dengan ‘tenses’:
a. He plays football every Sunday (Simple Present)
b. He played football last week (Simple Past)
3. Berkaitan dengan ‘bentuk kalimat’:
a. She comes from London (positif)
b. She does not come Washington (negatif)

English Summary: Concord
C. be
PEMBAHASAN:
Jika bertemu soal seperti ini, maka lihat sebelum atau di depan ‘of’. Kata ‘each’
dianggap tunggal (he/she). Maka Auxiliary atau concord yang mengikuti each of
the students adalah ‘is’. Each of the students is required to come on time = Setiap
siswa diminta datang tepat waktu.
JAWAB: A (is).
3. Neither the players nor the coach ______ satisfied with the referee decision on the
match last week
A. is D. are
B. was E. be
C. were
PEMBAHASAN:
Perhatikan setelah ‘nor’, noun the coach – tunggal. Dengan demikian to be yang
tepat adalah was (lampau, karena ada keterangan waktu last week).
JAWAB: B (was).
