1. Subject-Verb Agreement.


We usually do not have to think about making the verb agree with its subject. We would not write
She give the biscuits to her daughter.
I gives the biscuits to my daughter.
There are, however, instances where it is possible to mismatch the verb and the subject without it sounding as disjointed as the above examples do.

Plural subject, singular verb.

In this sentence, careful planning and a clear mind are the subject of the verb and as they are plural the verb has to be plural: are rather than is.
Careful planning and a clear mind is important for writing a good essay. (Incorrect)
Careful planning and a clear mind are important for writing a good essay. (Correct)
You need to be careful in situations where the subject is a list of things, the last of which is a singular item. In such cases, the whole list of different items forms the subject and therefore needs a plural verb
Warships, yachts, dinghies and a huge aircraft carrier is out on the harbour. (Incorrect)
Warships, yachts, dinghies and a huge aircraft carrier are out on the harbour. (Correct)
.

Singular subject plural verb.

The subject in this sentence is 'Tim's collection', which is singular. It therefore needs a singular verb: 'was' rather than 'were'.
Tim's collection of bottles was fantastic. (Correct)
Tim's collection of bottles were fantastic. (Incorrect)
Problems are particularly likely to occur with collective nouns such as a herd of, a collection of, a group of, a flock of, etc. All these are singular.
In this example, the subject is 'a small group of birds', which is singular (even though there are lots of birds) and needs a singular verb: was.
A small group of birds were flying across the midnight sea. (Incorrect)
A small group of birds was flying across the midnight sea. (Correct)
An enormous herd of zebras was thundering towards us. (Correct)
An enormous herd of zebras were thundering towards us. (Incorrect)
Take care with 'each', which is also singular and therefore needs a singular verb.
Each of these bottles are cracked. (Incorrect)
Each of these bottles is cracked. (Correct)
You also need to watch out when other phrases are added between the subject and its verb.
In this sentence the subject is my best friend, which is singular and so needs a singular verb 'is moving' rather than 'are moving'.
My best friend, along with all his family and pets, is moving to Australia. (Correct)
My best friend, along with all his family and pets, are moving to Australia. (Incorrect)
My best friend, all his family and pets, are moving to Australia. (Correct)
Either and neither can also cause problems. They are both singular and need a singular verb.
Neither of you is going to the cinema this evening. (Correct)
Neither of you are going to the cinema this evening. (Incorrect)
Either Spain or Portugal seems like a good place for a holiday. (Correct)
Either Spain or Portugal seem like a good place for a holiday. (Incorrect)
It seems that none can be treated as either singular or plural.
None of my friends speak German. (Correct)
None of my friends speaks German. (Correct)
None of the bottles was cracked. (Correct)
None of the bottles were cracked. (Correct)


2. Other Example


1. Good planning and motivation are vital for academic success.

2. My collection of stamps is worth a fortune.

3. A large flock of seagulls was feeding on the other side of the estuary.

4. Neither of these colours really suits the new living room.

5. His singlemindedness and a desire to win were responsible for his success.

6. A large consignment of biscuits has been stolen.

7. A large herd of cows was grazing by the river.

8. A calculator, three pencils and a large book were found lying in the street.

9. Either India or Greece seems like a good holiday destination.

10. Neither of those essays makes me want to continue reading.

11. Tight organisation and control are needed for a good essay.

Setia Dalam Penantian 

setia ku dalam penantian
dalam kisah yang begitu kelam

terendap dalam semilir angin
terhembus dalam derai tangis
kisahku yang dulu tak akan membuatku lemah
karena ku tahu itu

Makna Hidupku

Tertegun  ku pahami dirimu
Termanggu ku pikirkan dirimu
Banyak kata yang tak bisa kuungkapkan untukmu
Mentari pagi yang selalu menemani  sinar wajahmu 
Akan selalu kukenang sepanjang masa hidupku
Sebaris kata yang kau ukir di hatiku
Selalu membekas tak terhapuskan
Dirimu bagaikan embun pagi yang selalu menyejukkan hatiku
Wajahmu, bayanganmu, matamu, semua yang ada pada dirimu
Memberikan semangat dalam makna hidupku

Saat pertama kuberlabuh dihatimu

detak  Jantungku terasa berhenti
waktu terasa tidak berputar lagi
dirimu adalah misteri dalam hidupku
