GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Subject and Verb Agreement Rules Part 1 (numbers 1-4) (5-6 minutes) ( 主語と動詞のルール 1 単数形複数形 ]) Subject and Verb Agreement is necessary to establish a grammatically correct sentence. Here are the first four rules in Subject and Verb Agreement to avoid confusion. ( 正しい文では主語と動詞が呼応している必要があります主語が単数複数かにより動詞を活用させる 4 つのルールを学びましょう ) 1. The verb must agree with its subject in number. The singular subject takes singular verbs while plural subject takes plural verbs. ( 主語の単数複数に合わせ動詞を活用させます ) Examples ( 例 ): The secretary writes the reports. (singular) 秘書は報告書を書く ( 主語が単数 ) The members of the board meet monthly. (plural) 取締役たちには月一回の会議がある ( 主語が複数 ) 2. The groups of words or phrases that modify the subject do not affect the form of the verb. ( 主語のすぐ後にその主語を説明する文が挿入されていても主語の単数形複数形に合わせ動詞を活用させます ) Examples: ( 例 ) The projector that I leased is broken. (singular) 借りてきたプロジェクターは壊れている ( 主語が単数 ) The computers for this department are already delivered. (plural) この部署へのコンピューターは既に配達してある ( 主語が複数 ) Page 3

4 3. The prepositional phrases do not affect the subject and verb agreement. ( 主語の後に前置詞句が挿入されていても主語の単数形複数形に合わせ動詞を活用させます ) Examples: ( 例 ) The laptop on top of my table is new. (singular) 私のテーブルの上にあるノート型パソコンは新しい ( 主語が単数 ) The office workers behind his room are noisy. (plural) 彼の部屋の後ろにいる会社員たちはうるさい ( 主語が複数 ) 4. Always place the subject after the verb when the sentence is introduced by here and there. ( here もしくは there を使った文では動詞の後に主語がきます ) Examples: There is a mistake on the report that you submitted. (singular) あなたの提出した報告書にミスがあります ( 主語が単数 ) Here are the materials for your presentation. (plural) これがあなたのプレゼンの資料です ( 主語が複数 ) Remember: Always determine whether the subject is singular or plural to know what verb to use in a sentence. Nouns and verbs form their plurals in opposite ways. Add an s or es to the singular form of the noun to make it plural (e.g. machine machines) while remove an s or es from the singular form of the verb to make it plural (e.g. makes make). ( ポイント : 文中の動詞の形は主語が単数か複数かによって決められます単数の名詞に s や es をつけることによって複数形に変えられます ( 例 machine v.s. machines) 一方単数の主語に対する動詞から s や es を取ることによって複数の主語に対する動詞に変えられますよって名詞と動詞の単数形複数形に変化させる活用法は間逆になります ) Comprehension Check: How does the subject agree with the verb in number? How does a verb form its plural? 動詞は主語にどのように呼応させるのですか? 主語が複数のとき動詞はどのような形になりますか? Page 4
