Three things that i have to bring everywhere i go
I think everyone have things that they always have to bring
everywhere they go. For example watches, necklace, bracelet, ring, glasses, bag
, smartphone, wallet, etc. and so that I, everywhere I go I never forget to
bring things that I need.
I have three things that I always bring anywhere, that is :
Wallet
I always carry a
wallet because I can save my money and identity cards in one place. I
had to bring money in case, for example when I suddenly want to buy something
that I need, therefore I keep it and bring it along with my wallet.
as well as identity cards, so that I can show my identity to others when needed.
Key
Especially the
home key, because when I go out and when I return to the house without people
at house and door is locked, I do not need to wait until they return home. I
can use the key to open the door and go into the house.
Smartphone
The smartphone so
I had to carry, especially I was a newcomer in Pontianak. I need a map like
google map as a guide, and also when I went out and when there is good and
important moments I could record it with smartphone camera. I also need
a smartphone to send messages and phone calls and also accessing the
information from my device.
Okay, I think that's enough.
thank you…
thank you…

Main Rule of “Subject
VERB Agreement’
|
Only the subject affects the
VERB
|
Rule 1
Subjects and
verbs must agree in number. This is the cornerstone rule that forms the
background of the concept.
Rule 2
Don’t get
confused by the words that come between the subject and verb; they
do not affect agreement.
Rule 3
Prepositional
phrases between the subject and verb usually do not affect
agreement.
Rule 4
When sentences start with “there” or “here,” the subject will always be
placed
after the verb, so care needs to be taken to identify it correctly.
Rule 5
If two subjects are joined by and, they typically require a plural
verb form.
Rule 6
The verb is singular if the two subjects separated by and refer to
the same
person or thing.
The verb is singular if the two subjects separated by and refer to
the same
person or thing.
Rule 7
If one of the words each, every, or no comes before the subject, the
verb is
singular.
Rule 8
If the subjects are both singular and are connected by the words or,
nor,
neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also the
verb is singular.
Rule 9
The only time when the object of
the preposition decides plural or singular verb forms is when noun and pronoun
subjects like some, half, none, more, all, etc. are followed by a
prepositional phrase. In these sentences, the object of the preposition
determines the form of the verb.
Rule 10
The singular verb form is usually
used for units of measurement or time.
Rule 11
If the subjects are both plural and
are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but
also, the verb is plural.
Rule 12
If one subject is singular and one
plural and the words are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or,
and not only/but also, you use the verb form of the subject that is nearest
the verb.
Rule 13
Indefinite pronouns (everything,
anything, everyone, someone, somebody, nothing, etc) typically take
singular verbs.
Rule 14
Except for the pronouns (few, many,
several, both, all, some) that always take the plural form.
Rule 15
If two infinitives are separated by
and they take the plural form of the verb.
Rule 16
When gerunds are used as the subject of a sentence, they take the
singular verb
form of the verb; but, when they are linked by and, they take the
plural form.
Rule 17
Collective nouns like family, committee, herd, senate, class, crowd,
etc. usually take a singular verb form.
Rule 18
Titles of books, movies, novels, etc. are treated as singular and take

verb.

My reason choosing electrical engineering at UNTAN
First I gonna tell my reasons why I go to college before I explain why I chose to continue my education in UNTAN.
why do I want to continue my education while many of my classmates worked and their were continuing efforts of their parents?
first because I was not ready to work, and my parents did not have any business previously so that automatically there is no occupations need my help.
I hope with my college I can get a better job to improve the family economy because I come from families are not rich.
I could continue my education because I got a scholarship from a foundation named Yayasan Bumi Khatuliswa or commonly abbreviated to YBK.
Now towards to the topic, according to the title of my article why I continue my studies in UNTAN, UNTAN is a university located in the province of West Kalimantan and I also lived in West Kalimantan, so I chose UNTAN for including the university are not so far away and I think UNTAN is the best university in west Kalimantan. the scholarships that I get require that we have to chose universities in West Kalimantan
about majors, I was majoring in electrical engineering. I chose electrical engineering because I really like the things associated with electronics, especially today in which a barrage of electronics has become a necessity of the human being to everyday. The electronics practically imagine we could do something just press the button.
so what about you guys?
you will choose what university? and what majors?
