ENGLISH BUSINESS 2 (Subject, Verb, Complement, and Modifier)

INTRODUCTION

Hello, let me introduce my self. My name is Viva Widya Dwi Castrena, you can call me Viva Hadid (i’m sisters of Gigi Hadid. Gigi is Supermodel and my lyfe) hehe just kidding, just call me Viva. I’m studying at Gunadarma World Class University and still 6th semester (in this time). I got English Business Lecture 2 and the assignment from my lecturers Mr. Ricky Perdana (sounds familiar, right?) to make an article from some material in SAP. I’m research more about Subject, Verb, Complement, and Modifier. Which is i will explain below with example.

PROBLEM

            So many people in the world (not used English Language as primary language) don’t know the different from the subject, verb, complement and modifier. Lets we be smart together from the basic. Here it is, i will explain the different of the subject, verb, complement, and modifier in a sentence.

Example:

·         My father    opened    a checking account      at the bank                  last week

 Subject        Verb         Complement      Modifier of Place    Modifier of Time

  Ø  Subject                      : my father is a subject because the persons doing action.

  Ø  Verb                           : opened is a verb because a verb by my father.

  Ø  Complement            : a checking account is a complement because as a complementary word for the verb of a checking account.

  Ø  Modifier of Place     : at the bank is a modifier of place because describe about a place of bank.

  Ø  Modifier of Time     : last week is a modifier of time because describe about a time of last week.

SOLUTION

            I will explain about the solution about Subject, Verb, Complement, and Modifier. First, the subject of a sentence is the noun, pronoun or noun phrase that precedes and governs the main verb. The Subject is the part of the sentence that performs an action or which is associated with the action. Subjects can be people, animals, objects, or abstract concepts. Second, Verb is a function word to indicate the action of the subject, showing events or circumstances. Verb is one of the eight parts of speech. English verbs are not always simple shape (one word), but may be the result of a combination of phrases into phrasal verbs with particle. Third, a Complement is the part of a sentence that comes after the Verb. Which is serves to complete parts or elements of other sentences, such as Suject Predicate, and Object. Complement can be a noun, a phrase, or a clause. But, a Complement can not be the subject of a sentence if it’s converted into passive sentence. Fourth, the Modifier is tells the time, place or manner of the action. The existence of modifier allows a writer to convey what they imagine accurately to the reader. Even some people think, that without the modifier a sentence will feel boring.

P.S: that’s all my article, i hope this article can help you guys to learn English and of course, can be usefull for my lovely reader (beside my assignment). CMIIW! and have a nice day J
