BUSINESS LETTER

Business Letter is a letter written in formal language, usually used when writing from one business organization to another, or for correspondence between such organizations and their customers, clients and other external parties. The overall style of letter will depend on the relationship between the parties concerned. A Business Letter is more formal than a personal letter. It should have a margin of at least one inch on all four edges. There are six parts to a business letter.
Full Block Business Letter Components
Full block format means that all the elements of the letter are left-justified so that the start of each line is at the left-hand margin. This is the more formal style, so use it if you’re unsure which to go for.

Modified Block Style Business Letter Components
• Modified Block Style: With this business letter format, the body of the letter is left justified and single-spaced. The date and closing, however, are in alignment in the center of the page.
• Block Style: when using this business letter format, the entire letter is left justified and single-spaced except for a double space between paragraphs.


Modified Semi-Block Style Business Letter Components
Semiblock Style: similar to the modified block business letter style except that each paragraph is indented instead of left justified. This sample includes the formal components of modified semi-block business letters. Some of these components are optional for typical, employment-related business letters.

DEFINITION OF A BUSINESS LETTER
A business letter serves the main purpose of communication between two companies, or it is a method to talk to different people within a business.

Subject-Verb Agreement

Basic Principle: Singular subjects need singular verbs; plural subjects need plural verbs. My brother is a nutritionist. My sisters are mathematicians.
See the section on Plurals for additional help with subject-verb agreement.
1. The indefinite pronouns anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody are always singular and, therefore, require singular verbs.
• Somebody has left her purse.

2. Some indefinite pronouns are particularly troublesome Everyone and everybody (listed above, also) certainly feel like more than one person and, therefore, students are sometimes tempted to use a plural verb with them.
• Everyone has finished his or her homework.
3. If your sentence compounds a positive and a negative subject and one is plural, the other singular, the verb should agree with the positive subject.
• It is not the faculty members but the president who decides this issue.
4. The pronouns neither and either are singular and require singular verbs even though they seem to be referring, in a sense, to two things.
• Which shirt do you want for Christmas?
Either is fine with me.
5. The conjunction or does not conjoin (as and does): when nor or or is used the subject closer to the verb determines the number of the verb. Whether the subject comes before or after the verb doesn't matter; the proximity determines the number.
• Either my father or my brothers are going to sell the house.
• Are either my brothers or my father responsible?

Subject + Verb + Complement
There are two clause patterns that look similar but which are in fact very different:

In sentence 1 the word grass is the object and the words elephant and grass refer to different things. In sentence 2 the word animals refers to the same thing as elephants. It completes the meaning of the subject. So it is described as the subject complement:



The complement
The subject complement of a simple sentence:
 comes after the verb
 is either
- a noun or 'noun-like thing', or
- an adjective (as in the sentence, Elephants are big.)
 refers to the same person thing or idea as the subject.
This type of clause uses a special type of verb, a linking verb. the commonest linking verb is be. Others are become and seem:

Complements
Since this page is about the completers of thoughts, it is appropriate to include a brief description of complements. A complement (notice the spelling of the word) is any word or phrase that completes the sense of a subject, an object, or a verb.
A subject complement follows a linking verb; it is normally an adjective or a noun that renames or defines in some way the subject.
o A glacier is a huge body of ice.
o Glaciers are beautiful and potentially dangerous at the same time.
o This glacier is not yet fully formed. (verb form acting as an adjective, a participle)

Adjective complements are also called predicate adjectives; noun complements are also called predicate nouns or predicate nominatives. See predicates, above.
• An object complement follows and modifies or refers to a direct object. It can be a noun or adjective or any word acting as a noun or adjective.
o The convention named Dogbreath Vice President to keep him happy. (The noun "Vice President" complements the direct object "Dogbreath"; the adjective "happy" complements the object "him.")
o The clown got the children too excited. (The participle "excited" complements the object "children.")
• A verb complement is a direct or indirect object of a verb. (See above.)
o Granny left Raoul all her money. (Both "money" [the direct object] and "Raoul" [the indirect object] are said to be the verb complements of this sentence).

Verb (kata kerja)
Verb adalah kata atau frasa yang menyatakan keberadaan, perbuatan, atau pengalaman. Verb dikategorikan menjadi main verb dan auxiliary verb. Dalam beberapa buku grammar, auxiliary verb disebut helping verb karena digunakan dengan main verb, modal dan to be termasuk dalam auxiliary verb.

Setiap verb dalam bahasa Inggris dapat diformulasikan sebagai berikut:
VERB = tense + (modal) + (have + participle) + (be + -ing) + verb word
(Modal) = can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would.

Bila suatu verb menghendaki adanya suatu obyek/pelengkap disebut transitive verb, misalnya: build, cut, find, rise, sleep, stay, walk, etc. Sebaliknya bila verb tersebut tidak memerlukan suatu obyek/pelengkap disebut intransitive verb, misalnya agree, arrive, come, cry. (Be)= is, am, are.

Synonym(s): lucubrate, expatiate, exposit, enlarge, flesh_out, expand, expound, dilate
