Adjective Clause
Adjective Clause atau juga disebut Relative Clause adalah sebuah anak kalimat (dependent/sub-clause) yang difungsi untuk mejelaskan noun dengan tujuan mendeskripsikan, mengidentifikasi atau memberikan informasi lebih jauh tentang noun tersebut. Noun pada konteks tersebut berfungsi sebagai head (dijelaskan) akan menjadi antecedent (tempat rujukan conjunction.
Karena adanya antecedent inilah yang
menjadikan ciri khas bagi adjective clause, dan juga dapat mengambil kesimpulan
atau rujukan untuk membedakan antara clause lain, seperti Noun Clause dan Adverbial
Clause.
Kata “man” adalah noun dan pada
kalimat tersebut menjadi head (inti frasa) dan juga menjadi antecedent dari
adjective clause “who is standing at the door”.
Macam-macam Conjunction dari Adjective Clause
Ditinjau dari fungsi, conjuction dari adjective clause dapat diklerifikasika menjadi:Relative Pronoun
as Subject (RPS)
| Conjunction | |
|---|---|
| who | Digunakan ketika antecedent-nya berupa person |
| which | Digunakan ketika antecedent-nya berupa benda (non-person) |
| That | Digunakan ketika antecedent-nya berupa person maupun berupa benda (non-person) |
Form
| Conj + V (+Object+Adverb) |
|---|
E.g.:
The man is my close friend.
He helped you yesterday.
Kalimat tersebut dapat disatukan menjadi satu kalimat dengan menggunakan aturan adjective clause, ikuti langkah-langkah berikut ini:
1. Tentukan noun dan pronoun-nya yang sesuai.
The man sebagai noun dan he adalah pronoun-nya.
2. Ganti Ponoun tersebut dengan conjunction yang sesuai.
Conjunction yang sesuai dengan he adalah who atau whom.
He helped you yesterday menjadi:
who helped you yesterday.
that helped you yesterday.
3. Letakan cojunction-nya beserta seluruh bagiannya setelah antecedent-nya.
The man who/that helped you yesterday is my close friend.
contoh lain:
The keys have disappeared.
They were on the table.
Contoh di atas berbedah dengan contoh sebelumnya karena berupakan thing (non-person). maka pilihannya adalah Which atau That.
The keys which/that were on the table have disappeared.
The keys which/that were on the table have disappeared.
