Pengertian dan Bentuk Agreement atau Concord

Agreement (kesesuaian) dipakai Ketika seseorang melakukan sesuatu dan kemudian menambahkan bahwa ada orang lain melakukan hal yang sama. Ada 2 macam cara dalam menyampaikan agreement yaitu untuk pernyataan positif menggunakan kata “too” atau “so”. Cara yang ke dua yaitu agreement untuk pernyataan yang berbentuk negatif menggunakan kata “either” atau “neither.” Nama lain dari agreement adalah concord.

Tahu gak kalu “agreement” itu juga sering kita pakai sehari-hari dalam bahasa Indonesia lho. Contohnya:

·         Muammar Jumran adalah siswa pendidikan Bahasa Inggris UIN Alauddin Makassar dan begitupun Mursalin.

·         Ahkam tidak datang ke kampus kemarin dan Irma juga tidak.

·         Ayahnya Iswahyudi adalah seorang guru dan demikian pula ayahnya Imamsyah Al-Hadi.

Nach yang digaris bawahi di kalimat di atas itulah yang dikatakan “agreement” juga biasa dipangiil dengan nama ” concord.” Jadi, agreement dan concord itu sama aja; Cuma nama ajha yang beda.  Dah mengerti kan? Kan? Kan? Hehehehe ^_^

So let’s see the following explanation. ^_^
