THE CLAUSE
Hello guys.. come back with Radylan again yess.. jangan bosan belajar yaahh.. kali ini kita akan belajar about The Clause.. yuhuu.. lets learn !!
What is a clause? In its simplest form, a clause in grammar is a subject plus a verb. The subject is the entity “doing” the action of the sentence and the verb is the action that subject completes. A clause creates a complete thought (an idea or a statement that can stand alone).
Example of clause :
=> Subject + verb (predicate) = complete thought (IC)
example :
Example of clause :
=> Subject + verb (predicate) = complete thought (IC)
example :
- I graduated last year (One clause sentence)
- When I came here, I saw him. (Two clause sentence)
- When I came here, I saw him, and he greeted me. (Three clause sentence)
Kinds of Clause
=> Independent clause
An independent clause is a group of word that has a subject and verb. It is used as a part of sentence but is grammatically independent and it could therefore stand alone.
example :
Because you come late more than 30 minutes, you are not allowed to enter the class.
=> Dependent clause
A dependent clause is introduction with a subordinating such as when, while, if, or before. It cannot stand alone because the subordinator signals the need for an independent clause to complete the meaning of the sentence.
example :
When you enter the room,.....
Kinds of dependent clause
1. Adverb clauses
A dependent adverb clause begins with an adverbial subordinator such as when, while, because, although, if, so that, etc.
example :
1. Although Dina was bussy, she went to the party.
2. Dina went to the party although she was bussy.
Notice : if an adverb clause comes before the independent clause, it is followed by a comma (sentence 1). If it comes after the independent clause, no comma is used.
2. Adjective clauses
A dependent adjective (relative) clauses begins with a relative pronoun such as who, whom, which, whose, or that, or with a relative verb such as when or where.
example :
Men who are not married are called bachelors.
3. Noun clauses
A dependent noun clause function as a noun. A dependent noun clause can be either a subject, or an object. No comma are necessary. There are three type of noun clauses :
=>That-clauses are made from statement and are introduced by the subordinator that
example :
The bulletin states that science courses require a laboratory period.=> Wh-word clauses
example :
I don't know where the student cafetaria is=> If/whether clauses
example :
I don't know whether I should look for a job or continue my study.
