Wrong Predicate
Description:
Wrong Predicate refers to a grammatical error where the subject and the predicate do not agree in number, gender, or tense.
Usage:
- When using the present tense, it is important not to form a wrong predicate, such as "He run instead of He runs."
- A common mistake in subject-verb agreement is a wrong predicate, such as "The books is interesting" instead of "The books are interesting."
- In cases where the subject and verb mismatch in gender, it results in a wrong predicate, like "The girl writes a letter" instead of "The girl write a letter."
Examples:
- My sister is an engineer. (correct)
- My sister am an engineer. (wrong predicate)
- The dog licks its paws. (correct)
- The dog lick its paws. (wrong predicate)
- The students are diligent. (correct)
- The students is diligent. (wrong predicate)
