Introduction to agreement
[Voiceover] Hi grammarians. Today I want to talk about this idea, in English, that we call agreement.발음듣기
So, I'm going to teach you how to be agreeable, make it so that all of your sentences get along really well.발음듣기
It's funny because the 's' seems to migrate, seems to move from one part of the sentence to the other.발음듣기
I know that seems strange that you wouldn't want to have the 's' follow the other 's', but you actually only want to have one of these in a sentence.발음듣기
If you're familiar with the Lord of the Rings books or movies, if you remember Gollum, the character Gollum is a weird little bug-eyed critter whose just kind of obsessed with the one ring, and he has this very particular way of speaking that is not, strictly speaking, standard.발음듣기
And the way he refers to everything, he just throws on an 's' on the end of every word he uses, every verb.발음듣기
So, if he's talking about, you know, this magic ring that he's very fond of, which he calls the precious, he wouldn't just say, "I love it."발음듣기
You can figure out whether or not you are using agreement in your sentences if you sound like Gollum.발음듣기
So this is the sense that I want you to develop is you listen to yourself speak and you ask, "Do I sound like Gollum, the little ring monster?"발음듣기
Because if you do sound like Gollum, then you're probably not operating under the agreement rules of standard American English, or you're just doing a Gollum impression.발음듣기
That's the basic idea behind agreement Is you just want to make sure that the parts of the sentence match up.발음듣기
