CLAUSES

Pengertian :

Clauses adalah klompok kata yang saling berhubungan yang mempunyai subject dan predikat.

Macam-macam clauses :

1. Adjective clauses                                                                                                       
   Adjective clauses  ini seperti dependent clauses yang berfungsi sebagai adjective atau menerangkan kata benda ( noun)  , dimulai dengan suatu kata yang disebut relative pronoun (who, whom, that, which, whose, etc) yang berfungsi menjebatani hubungannya dengan noun atau pronoun yang diterangkan.
   Rumus :
   Relative pronoun + S+V
   Catatan : S ( subject ) ini kadang bisa ada bisa tidak ada , bila tidak ada kita bisa mengunakan Relative pronaoun sebagai subject.
   Fungsi adjective clauses :

• Sebagai subject ( who, that, which)
  The police caught the man who robbed the bag ( who = menrangkan subject the man).
  Lalio, which is faithful, is my cat. ( which = menerangkan subject Lalio)
  It is the bag that I have dreamed for many years ago.( that = menerangkan bag)
  NOTE :
  Who disini memiliki arti “ yang “ dimana hanya bisa digunakan untuk person.
  Which disini memiliki arti “ yang “ dimana hanya bisa digunakan non person.
  That disini memiliki arti “ yang “ dimana bisa digunakan untuk all nouns.
• Sebagai object ( whom, that, which, who)
  I like the novel which you write. ( which disini menunjuk novel, dimana dia menerangkan object ‘ write ‘)
  The car is very expensive that he drives.( that disini menunjuk tentang mobil dimana dia menerangkan tentang object drives).
  The lady was the boss in this company whom I saw.( whom disini menunjuk tentang the lady dimana dia menerangkan tentang ‘saw’).
  Posisi adjective clauses :
• Di tengah kalimat
  Lolita, who lives next to my house, is very beautiful.
  The car that he drives is very expensive.
• Diakhir kalimat
  Rey is very rich who lives next my house.
  Thanked the teacher who taught me

1. Adverb clause
   Adverb clause/ adverbial clauses dimulai dengan suatu kata yang disebut subordinate conjunction ( when, after, because, though, before, as soon as, etc). subordinate conjunction disini digunakan untuk menjebatani hubungan dengan independent clause yang diterangkan.
   Diamana gabungan klausa ini + independent clause disebut complex sentence , yaitu sebuah kalimat yang terdiri dari independent clause dan satu atau lebih dependent clause.
   Rumus :
   Subordinate conjunction + S+V/…

Fungsi adverbial clause :

1. Memberikan informasi tentang verb
   You were sleeping when he arrived.
   Subject : You
   Verb =  were sleeping
   Subordinate conjunction = when
   Adverbial clause = when he arrive
2. Memberikan informasi tentang Adjective
   Her face is fresh because she always does exercise and eats fruits.
   Adjective = fresh
   Subordinate conjunction = because
   Adverbial clause = because she always does exercise and eats fruits.
3. Memberi informasi tentang Adverb.
   He drove fast after he saw green light.
   Adverb = fast
   Subordinate conjunction = after
   Adverbial clause = after he saw green light.

Macam Adverbial clause berdasarkan posisi :

1. Posisi awal
   Apabila adverbial clause berada diawal kalimat, tanda koma (,) digunakan untuk memisahkan kedua kalimat tersebut
   Contohnya :
   Before you go to school, you have to lock the doors.
   While he was walking home, he saw an accident.
2. Posisi akhir
   Apabila adverbial clause ada diakhir kalimat tanda koma (,) tidak digunakan.
   Contohnya :
   You may keep my laptop as long as you need it.
   She want to bad after finished dinner.

1. Noun clauses
   Noun clause bisa digunakan sebagai subjek , sebagai objek dan kata kerja atau priposisi, dan sebagai pelengkap. Noun clause dapat menempati posisi kata benda dalam Independent clause. Dengan demikian Noun clause dapat digantikan dengan kata ganti benda it. Subordinate conjunction yang biasa digunakan untuk Noun clause antara lain that, whether, if, what, dll.
   Noun clause dapat diperoleh dari :

• From setetman ( that = bahwa)
  Contohnya :
  I know that she took my boyfriend.
  It’s true that plants need water in order to grow.
• From question
  Yes / No question = if/whether
  Information question = WH question
  Contohnya :
  My question is who you are.
  Can you tell me what is that?
  Where he works is not important to me.

• Subject dari verb
  What she cooked was delicious.
• Subject complament
  The fact is that she is smart and beautiful.
• Object of verb
  I want to know how lisa thught.
• Object of preposition
