Smartphone App that I love

Hello guys, today I would like to talk about  the smartphone app that I love. well, if you ask me about "what is my favorite smartphone app?" then of course I will answer it, an Instagram. Why I chosee Instagram? because this app is a very simple application that can upload your photos, I mean there is a lot smartphone app that have a simmilar functions to share your photos with friends, but this app is so simple and easy to use. Also Instagram is provide some filters and effects that you can use to your photos, so you can make your photos looks much cooler than before. I've shared a lot of my pictures in this application, mostly the picture is about when I went to traveling, and hang out with my friends. This app is a very good application, to share my moments in a picture, because I think a picture that i've shared in instragram is not on my only a picture, but it also represented a moments of my live, and a story of my live with my friends and  people that I love. It's like an album of my live. Well the other reason why I love this app, is because I can see the other people's photos in this application. I can see them, where they have a great time together with their family and their friends in their picture. Well that's what I think about this application, and of course I will share  my photos in this application . And don't forget to follow my instagram account: @ilmanfaqih. Thank you for reading!

What Movie Best Describes Your Live?

What movie best describes my live? that's an interesting topic, I'm little bit confuse to choose one, because I've watched so many movies, and there is so many movies that I loved. I can't choose one movie that best describes my live, because my live is a different story than the other movie, even the world's best movie can't describe the way that I lived. But, if I have to choose one, then i will choose Batman: The Dark Knights. I know it’s sounds weird, but I love that movie so much, and I think the main character of this movie Bruce Wayne who is Batman, have a similar character with me. I’ve watched this movie,  and I think he is brave, that at first he is afraid of a bats, and than he train to fight against his fear, and change his fear into a courage, and even his fear become his identity, who called Batman.  He’s also brave, intelligent, and he is so persistent to fight his fear. And also batman is one of superhero that doesn't have any superpower. He got his power with train so hard until he become a hero. That’s why I love this character so much. And I think he has same character with me. Because I don’t have any superpower or a special ability in me, but I will always train and learn so hard to become great person. In a practical live I will study and learn so hard in campus until I can achieve my dream, and fight against my fear. That’s why Bruce Wayne very inspiring me, at least this movie can motivate me in this live to become a great person.

 

SUBJECT VERB AGREEMENT

What is Subject?

Subject is the person/people/thing(s) that do the activity.

I, you, they, we, she, he, it, my dad and my

mom, Linda, Sussi, Linda and Sussi, the bank,

the flight schedule, etc.

What is VERB?

Verb is a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence.

Kinds of VERB

·         

ACTION VERB

·         Also known as MAIN VERB.

·         Action verbs are words that express action(give, eat, walk, etc.) or possession (have, own, etc.).

·         Action verbs can be either transitive (with object) or intransitive (without object).

Example:

1.       Laurissa raises her hand. (kkt)

2.       Abdus gave Becky the pencil. (kkt)

3.       Laurissa rises slowly from her seat. (kki)

4.       He was pontificating about art and history. (kki)

LINKING VERBS

A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that renames or describes the subject.

To Be: is, am, are, was, were

 

Example:

1.       Lisa is in love with Jason.

2.       We were there!

3.       I am happy

Verb: seem, appear, become, grow, remain, get, prove, turn, look, sound, smell, taste, feel.

Example:

1.       She looks pale.

2.       I feel happy

3.       That sounds great!

4.       Your cook smells good.

HELPING VERBS

Helping Verbs are used before action or linking verbs to convey additional information regarding aspects of possibility (can, could, etc.) or time (was, did, has, etc.)

MODALS always function as Helping Verbs.

MODALS: can, could, may, might, shall, will, ought to, should, would.

Examples:

1.       Tejo is (helping verb) going (main verb) to Florida.

2.       The trip might (helping verb) be (main verb) dangerous.

3.       Tanya could learn to fly helicopters. (Could helps the main verb, learn.)

4.       Janine will drive to Idaho tomorrow. (Will helps the main verb, drive.)

MAIN RULE OF

“Subject Verb Agreement”

Only the subject affects the verb!

RULE 1

Subjects and verbs must agree in number.

This is the cornerstone rule that forms the background of the concept.

Examples:

1.       The dog growls when it is angry.

2.       The dogs growl when they are angry.

RULE 2

Don’t get confused by the words that come

between the subject and verb; they do not affect agreement.

Examples:

The dog, who is chewing on my jeans, is usually very good.

RULE 3

Prepositional phrases between the subject and verb usually do not affect agreement.

Examples:

The colors of the rainbow are beautiful.

RULE 4

When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be placed after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly.

Examples:

There is a problem with the balance sheet. Here are the papers you requested.

RULE 5

If two subjects are joined by and, they typically require a plural verb form.

Examples:

The cow and the pig are jumping over the moon.

RULE 6

The verb is singular if the two subjects separated by and refer to the same person or thing.

Examples:

Red beans and rice is my mom's favorite dish.

RULE 7

If one of the words each, every, or no comes before the subject, the verb is singular.

Examples:

No smoking or drinking is allowed.

Every man and woman is required to check in.

RULE 8

If the subjects are both singular and are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also the verb is singular.

Examples:

Jessica or Christian is to blame for the accident.

RULE 9

The only time when the object of the preposition decides plural or singular verb forms is when noun and pronoun subjects like some, half, none, more, all, etc. are followed

by a prepositional phrase. In these sentences, the object of the preposition determines the form of the verb.

Examples:

1.       All of the chicken is gone.

2.       All of the chickens are gone.

RULE 10

The singular verb form is usually used for units of measurement or time.

Examples:

Four quarts of oil was required to get the car running.

RULE 11

If the subjects are both plural and are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, the verb is plural.

Examples:

Dogs and cats are both available at the pound.

RULE 12

If one subject is singular and one plural and the words are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, you use the verb form of the subject that is nearest the verb.

Examples:

1.       Either the bears or the lion has escaped from the zoo.

2.       Neither the lion nor the bears have escaped from the zoo.

RULE 13

Indefinite pronouns (everything, anything, everyone, someone, somebody, nothing, etc) typically take singular verbs.

Examples:

1.       Everybody wants to be loved.

2.       Everything is gonna be alright.

RULE 14

Except for the pronouns (few, many, several, both, all, some) that always take the plural form.

Examples:

1.       Few were left alive after the flood.

2.       Several students understand the material.

RULE 15

If two infinitives are separated by and they take the plural form of the verb.

Examples:

To walk and to chew gum require great skill.

RULE 16

When gerunds are used as the subject of a sentence, they take the singular verb form of the verb; but, when they are linked

by and, they take the plural form.

Examples:

1.       Standing in the water was a bad idea.

2.       Swimming in the ocean and playing drums are my hobbies.

RULE 17

Collective nouns like family, committee, herd, senate, class, crowd, etc. usually take a singular verb form.

Examples:

1.       The herd is stampeding.

2.       Cooper family always attends the annual party.

RULE 18

Titles of books, movies, novels, etc. Are treated as singular and take a singular verb.

Examples:

1.       The Burbs is a movie starring Tom Hanks.

2.       Harry Potter has reached Top 3 Best Seller books.
