Kesalahan Dalam Penggunaan Count Noun, Prespositions danTO BE

Kesalahan Dalam Penggunaan Count Noun, Prespositions danTO BE-  Here are some common mistakes I’ve encountered in this forum so far.

1. Penggunaan COUNT NOUNS
Banyak yang mengacuhkan bahwa A/AN perlu ditambahan sebelum noun kalau noun tersebut singular dan banyak pula yang lupa menambahkan –S/-ES pada noun kalau noun tersebut plural.

a. Budi has book and Bejo has many movie (INCORRECT)
b. Budi has books and Bejo has many movies (correct)
c. Do you need umbrella? (INCORRECT)
d. Do you need an umbrella? (correct)

2. Penggunaan PREPOSITIONS
Masih banyak yang belum memahami prinsip dasar dalam penggunaan kata depan (for, to, after, before in, on, at, dst):
PREPOSITION + NOUN
PREPOSITION + VERB-ING (gerund = noun)

a. Thank you (very much) for your help (correct)
b. Thanks for the confirmation (correct)
c. Thanks for confirm (INCORRECT)
d. Thanks for confirming me (correct)
e. Thanks for add me (INCORRECT)
f. Thanks for adding me (correct)

Ini belum termasuk kapan kita harus menggunakan masing-masing preposition lho. 

3. Penggunaan TO BE + VERB (kasus dalam simple present tense)
The good thing is almost all members can say the following three sentences correctly,
a. I am happy. (correct)
b. I am sad. (correct)
c. She’s beautiful. (correct)

Unfortunately, masih banyak yang menulis,
d. I am agree. (INCORRECT)
e. I am disagree. (INCORRECT)

Yang semestinya,
f. I agree. (correct)
g. I disagree. (correct)
