PATTERN
Patterns are the parts of a sentence. In some books, patterns are called
structures. In patterns, the words have the same order most of the time.
Some of the most important patterns are summarized in this review section.
Remember, the generalizations in the charts and explanations for each pattern refer to
the structure in the examples. There may be similar structures for which these
generalizations are not appropriate.
Problems with Main

A verb is a word or phrase that expresses existence, action, or an experience.
There are two kinds of verbs in English. They are the main verb and the auxiliary
verb. In some grammar books, the auxiliary verb is called a helping verb because it is
used with a main verb.
Every verb in English can be described by the following formula :
VERB = tense + (modal) + (have + participle) + (be+-ing) + verb word

participle expresses logical conclusion based on evidence/bukti/kejadian. The conclusion
is about an event that happened in the past.
Remember that an observation in the present may serve as the basis for a
conclusion about some thing that happened in the past. For example, here is a
message on my desk. It may be concluded the my friend must have called last night.

My friend must have called last night

PROBLEM 29, NOUNS

You have probably learned that a noun is the name of a person, place, or
thing. Nouns perform several functions in English, but naming is clearly the most
important.
77
There are two basic classifications of nouns in English. In some grammar books,
they are called count nouns and mass nouns. In still other grammar books, they called
countable and uncountable nouns.
All of these names are very confusing because, of course, everything can be
counted. The problem is how to count it. And, in that respect, the two classifications of
nouns are very different.
Count or countable nouns have both singular and plural forms. They are used in
agreement with singular or plural verbs. In contrast, mass or non-count, uncountable
nouns have only one form. They are used in agreement with singular verbs.
Often count or countable nouns are individual persons, places or thins that can
be seen and counted individually. Often mass, non-count, or uncountable nouns are
substances and ideas that are shapeless by nature and cannot be seen and counted
individually.
But it is not always logic that determines whether a noun is count or non-count.
Sometimes it is simply a grammatical convention-that is, a category that people agree
to use in their language. Both beans and rice have small parts that would be difficult
but not impossible to count. But bean is considered a count noun and rice is considered
a non-count noun. Why? because it is a grammatical convention.
Count Nouns
Remember that count nouns have both singular and plural forms. Plural numbers
can precede count noun but not non-count nouns.
There are several categories of count nouns that can help you organize your
study. Some of them are listed here.
1. Names of persons, their relationships, and their occupations:
one boy two boys
one friend two friends
one student two students
2. Names of animals, plants, insects:
one dog two dogs
one flower two flowers
one bee two bees
3. Names of things with a definite, individual shape:
one car two cars
one house two houses
one room two rooms
4. Units of measurement:
one inch two inches
78
one pound two pounds

one degree two degrees
5. Units of classification in society:
one family two families
one country two families
one language two languages
6. Containers of non-count solids, liquids, pastes, and gases:
one bottletwo bottles
one jar two jars
one tube two tubes
7. A limited number of abstract concepts:
one idea two ideas
one invention two inventions
one plan two plans
Number (plural) Noun (count-plural)
sixty years
Avoid using a singular count noun with a plural number.

CORRECT : We have twenty dollars left.
INCORRECT : I hope that I can lose about five pound before summer.
