Verb Phrase & Singular and Plural Nouns

Verb phrase adalah kombinasi dari sebuah kata kerja (verb) dan sebuah partikel (particle). Sebuah kata kerja bisa berubah artinya ketika digabungkan dengan partikel lainnya.
Contoh :
·      Julie picks up her son from school.
·      He turn on the lamp.
·      I never give up.
·      Why you didn’t turn around when i called you ?
·      Life must go on.
·      I will always look after you.


Singular and Plural Nouns
Kata benda atau nomina mempunyai dua bentuk (form) kata, yaitu singular dan plural. Singular nouns digunakan untuk menunjukkan suatu benda yang berjumlah tunggal atau satu, misalnya: a computer, a chair, a train, a player, a teacher, a taxi, etc. Sedangkan plural nouns digunakan untuk menunjukkan benda yang berjumlah banyak (jamak), misalnya: computers, chairs, trains, players, teachers, taxis, etc.

Singular nouns umumnya disertai determiners (a/an, this, that, the), misalnya: a river, a castle, an idea, this book, the man, etc.

Umumnya plural nouns dibentuk dengan menambah huruf -s di belakang kata benda yang akan dibuat dalam bentuk jamak, misalnya: boats, bats, houses, rivers, computer, boys, girls, etc.
