4. False Concepts Hypothesized
9. Is subject-verb agreement error when you write an English sentence because
you consider that the subject of the sentence you write is singular, so it must be followed by singular verb or vice-versa, the subject is plural, so it must be
followed by plural verb? Clarify your answer

1. 2 Yes, it is true. In the first structure class, I was still
confused about single or plural. In this classroom, the material is about it, single or plural. I think it is not only me
who is still confused about it. Many other students are also still confused whether a subject is singular or plural.
2. 5 In that case, I think the error is not caused by it. If there is
an error in my sentence, it is just because I do not write it carefully.
3. 6 Yes it is. I see the word walls and floors. After reviewing
the sentence carefully, I should have seen the word, the interior, which has singular meaning. I just see the word,
walls, so I think it should be followed by are. 4.
9 Yes, bedroom...
5. 11 I did it. I may sometimes be confused to consider whether
a noun is countable or uncountable, so I am also confused to consider whether the verb to follow the noun should be
followed by –s or not, or whether to use is or are, to follow the noun. It is because I do not have good memory on all
countable and uncountable nouns.
6. 12
Yes it is. It is like what you said.
7. 17 I did it. It is like me who sometimes forgets about
countable and noncountable nouns. They are different and have different implementation. Moreover, the addition of
colour, size in front of a noun, sometimes also leads me into a confusion: whether to use is or are after the noun, whether
the noun is considered singular or plural.
8. 26 The error happens in the case of it. I think that it is a
pronoun for things, animals, many other things. Therefore, without considering whether the nouns are
singular or plural, I often consider that it has plural meaning.

1. 2 Yes, it probably often happens because I still think about
whether the subject is singular or plural. 2. 5
It rarely happens. I personally think that the factor caused the error is because I write the sentence uncarefully and
hurriedly. 3. 6
Yes, it often happens, so in Paragraph Writing class, we often obtain a lot of feedback to many errors in our written
work. 4. 9
Yes, it frequently happens especially in the case of uncountable nouns.
5. 11 In my opinion, it still happens even I find that I often make
simple errors, e.g., the errors on is, are. 6. 12
I think that case still happens and I am one of the persons who does it.
7. 17 It happens frequently because I cannot well memorize all
uncountable nouns and countable nouns. 8.
26 Yes, I still make the errors because of this case.
