we use the subjunctive when talking about events that somebody:
Wants to happen
Anticipates will happen
Imagines happening

The form of the base subjunctive is extremely simple. For all verbs and all persons, the form is the base
of the verb, for example: be, have, do, go, sing, work.
The base subjunctive does not use any other forms (goes,sings,works).
This table shows the base subjunctive in all persons, using the verbs be, work, and sing as examples:
Base-subjunctive
be work Sing
Note
I be work Sing
You be work Sing That the subjunctive does not change at all
He, she, it be work Sing according to person (I, you, he, etc).
We be work Sing
You be work Sing
They be work Sing
The base subjunctive is typically used that clauses after two structures:
19

unthinkable, urgent, vital

CHAPTER 11
Subject Verb-agreement
Subject-verb agreement, also called “subject-verb concord” refers to matching the subject and verb of a
sentence in tense, aspect, and mood (abbreviated as TAM), which translates to number, person, and
gender.
English doesn’t use grammatical gender (expect for pronouns), and only the verb be changes based on
whether it’s first, second, or third person. That means most English subject-verb agreement is about
quantity : I the subject is singular, the verb must be singular, I the subject is plural, the verb must be
plural.
Even this can get confusing, though, because talking in the first-person singular (“ I climb the fence”)
uses the same verb format as talking in the first-person plural (“we climb the fence”). Aside from the
verb be, subject-verb agreement in English adapts verb to the third-person singular (“it climbs the
fence”)
Here’s a quick reminder of how to conjugate be in the singular and plural of each person:
singular Plural
First person (I) am (We) are
Second person (you) are (You) are
Third person (he/she/it) is (they) are
Exercises:
Underline the subject (or compound subject) and then identify the verb that agrees with it.
Everyone in the telecom focus group (has/have) experienced problems with cell phones.
1. Your friendship over the years and your support (has/have) meant a great deal to us.
2. Hamilton Family Center, a shelter for teenage runaways in San Francisco, (offers/offer) a wide
variety of services.

4. The chances of your being promoted (is/are) excellent.
5. There (was/were) a Pokémon card stuck to the refrigerator.

CHAPTER 13
Adjective Clause & Adjective Phrase
Adjective clauses are dependent clauses that give information about nouns. They allow you to combine
two sentences into one by using relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, where, when, which, that, and
why) as connectors.
WHO (used for people as subjects) My friend missed the lecture. + She borrowed Sam’s notes to review.
→ My friend who missed the lecture borrowed Sam’s notes to review.
WHOM (used for people as objects) The candidate won by a landslide. + Many people admire him. →
The candidate whom many people admire won by a landslide.
WHOSE (used to indicate possession) I admire Professor Brooks. + His books were stolen. → I admire
Professor Brooks, whose books were stolen.
THAT (use for people, place, and things introduces information necessary to explain a noun) I met a
man on the bus today. + He works at the World Bank. → The man that I met on the bus today
works at the World Bank.
WHICH (used for places, things introduces extra information about an already specific noun) My new
car needs very little gas. + It was a gift from my son. → My new car, which was a gift from my son,
needs very little gas. NOTE: When an adjective clause provides extra information, it is set off by
commas.
WHEN and WHERE (used to replace in which, on which, etc. not which) July 25 was sad for me. + I left
home on that day. → July 25, when I left home, was sad for me. I have always wanted to visit the
big house. + Julio lives in that house. → I have always wanted to visit the big house where Julio
lives.

CHAPTER 14
Noun clause
Noun clauses include a subject and a verb but function as nouns. (adjective clauses and adverb clauses
function as adjectives and adverbs, respectively). Noun clauses are dependent clauses and cannot
function alone as a complete sentence. To work properly in English grammar, noun clauses must be part
of a larger sentence to form a complete thought. For example, in the sentence “ she liked that he was
always on time”, the noun clause “that he always on time” cannot stand alone.
We can replace a noun clause with a noun or a pronoun. Consider this sentence: “ did you hear what the
announcer said?” we can replace the noun phrase “what the announcer said” with “it” or “that”- as in, “
did you hear that?” noun clauses often include one of the “wh-“ words, such as “who”, “what, “when”,
“where”, and “why” and the related words “whatever”, “whenever”, and “whomever”. Other question
words such as “if”, ”how”, and “that” are also common in noun clauses.
Noun clauses are highly versatile. They can function as subject, objects of prepositions, direct objects,
indirect objects, and predicate nouns.
1. “I want to know what all the fuss is about”.“ what all the fuse is about”, is the noun clauses
and functions in the sentence as the direct object of verb “know”. The subject is the pronoun
“I”.
2. “she will listen to whatever you recommend”. In this sentence, “whatever you recommend” is
the noun clause and functions as a direct object.
3. “I hope we are going to wherever the source of the river is” in this sentence, “wherever the
source of the river is” is a noun clause that functions as the object of preposition “to”.
4. “the parachutist’s only flaw was that she balked when given the signal to jump”. The noun
clause “that she balked when given the signal to jump” functions in this sentence as a subject
complement.

clause tells when, where, how, why, to what extent, or under what conditions something happened.
45

CHAPTER 16
Parallel structure
Parallel structure adds both clout and clarity to your writing. When you use parallel structure, you
increase the readability of your writing by creating word patterns readers can follow easily.
Parallel structure (also called parallelism) is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a
sentence. By making each compared item or idea in your sentence follow the same grammatical pattern,
you create a parallel construction.
Example:
Not Parallel:
Ellen likes hiking, the rodeo, and to take afternoon naps.
Parallel:
Ellen likes hiking, attending the rodeo, and taking afternoon naps.
OR
Ellen likes to hike, attend the rodeo, and take afternoon naps.
Using parallel structure
With coordinating conjunctions
When you connect two or more clauses or phrases with a coordinating conjunction (for, and,
nor, but, or, yet, or so), use parallel structure.
Example:
Not Parallel:
My best friend took me dancing and to a show.
Parallel:
My best friend took me to a dance and a show.
With correlative conjunctions
When you connect two clauses or phrases with a correlative conjunction (not only…but also,
either…or, neither…nor, if…then, etc.), use parallel structure.
Example:
Not Parallel:
My dog not only likes to play fetch, but also chase cars.
Parallel:
My dog not only likes to play fetch, but he also likes to chase cars.
OR
My dog likes not only to play fetch, but also to chase cars.
With phrases or clauses of comparison
When you connect two clauses or phrases with a word of comparison, such as than or as, use
parallel structure.
Example:
Not Parallel:
I would rather pay for my education than financial aid.
47
By ade luh febiola kristanti 12/4/2022
Parallel:
I would rather pay for my education than receive financial aid.
With lists
When you are comparing items in a list, use parallel structure.
Example:
Not Parallel:
John Taylor Gatto criticizes public schools because they are compulsory, funded by the
government, and destroy students' humanity.
Parallel:
John Taylor Gatto criticizes public schools because they are compulsory, government
funded, and normalizing.
OR
John Taylor Gatto criticizes public schools because they require students to attend,
receive money from the government, and destroy students' humanity.
Exercises:
Read the following example sentences and revise any that do not use parallel structure. Remember that
there are many ways to revise a sentence to reflect parallel structure; if possible, rewrite each incorrect
sentence in more than one way.
Some helpful hints on how to revise sentences for parallel structure:
1. Figure out what parts of the sentence are being compared.
2. Decide whether they are parallel, i.e. arranged or constructed in the same way.
3. If they are not, make them parallel by making the grammatical construction the same in each part.

the speaker expresses an action or situation which usually occurs, or will occur if the circumstances in
the main clause are met.
Type 0

Comparison
Comparations indicate degrees of difference with adjectives and adverbs, and may be equal or unequal.
