In terms of structure, because always in the form of sentence (Subject + Verb). Then look up the verb (verbs) are to be found in the sentence. well, here there are rules yuk gan .. see more ...

Verbnya search rules below:

1.      If there is only one verb then no conjungtion (conjunctive).

2.      If there are two verbs that no one conjungtion (remember! Conjuntion it connects between sentences and sentences)

3.      If there are three verb then there are 2 conjangtion, and so on.

4.      This rule applies to the Search for the verb tenses, both active and passive sentences.

These are also some things you must consider:

1.      Remember! Always remember that the sentence (sentence) that consists of subject and predicate (verb)

Examples: _______ was backed up for miles on the freeway

a.       Yesterday

b.      In the morning

c.       Traffic

d.      Cars

The answer is Traffic. Because of the above sentence is already contained verb (was backed) and no conjungtion, so according to the rules then we only need a subject. Answer (a) and (b) is an adverb, while answer (d) does not comply with the sentence.

2.      Be careful with the present participles (V-ing)

Verb + ing will function as if the verb to be + V-ing

Example: The man is talking to his friends (verb)

The man talking to his friends has a bread (adjective), its verb is has

3.      Be careful with the past participle (V3)

V3 will function as if the verb to be + V3

Example: The family has purchased a television (verb)

The television was purchased yesterday expensive (adjective), verbnya is was

Problems example:

The ______ packages mailed at the post office will arrive Monday

a. have

b. were

c. Them

d. Just

The answer is (d) Just. Because if we trace the sentences in question are verb (will arrive) and no conjungtion. So, we just need a complement. Answer (a) and (b) is a verb, whereas the answer (c) is subject. If the answer to (c) is included in the sentence, there will be double the subject and them do not have a function in the sentence.

4.      Be careful with Appositive (explaining the previous word)

Appositif (App) has the following form:

APP, ___________ (if any (,) in front of it in front of the comma is App)

____, App, __________ (if at the center of it will be flanked by two pins (,))

______________, App (If there are (,) behind the App occurs after the (,))

Problems example:

__________, George, is attending the lecture

a. Right now

b. Happily

c. Because of the time

d. My Friend

The answer is (d) my friend. Because the sentence has one verb (is attending) and no conjungtion, while George is Appositife. Thus, the sentence requires a subject: My friends. To answer (a) a description, (b) is an adverb, (c) a preposition.
