Contoh adjective clause –Penjelasan mengenai jenis-jenis kata sifat dan segala permasalahannya telah dibahas tuntas sebelumnya. Do you all still remember about them? Tentu ingat dong. Terus kalau kata sifat dalam bentuk kalimat/ klausa (adjective clause) pernahkan mendengar?
Dalam materi jenis-jensi atau susunan kalimat, ada klausa yang dependen dan klausa independen bukan? Beberapa klausa dependen ternyata merupakan adjective clauses, karena apa? Karena clause marker-nya menggantikan dan memodifikasi objek dari klausa utama. Nih contohnya:
Kalimat dengan adjective clause:
Main clause (klausa utama) | Clause marker sebagai dependent clause | ||||
S | V | that | S | V | |
These apples | are | the ones | that | we | wanted |
That bag | is | the thing | that | I | ordered |
Nah clause marker di atas merupakan adjective clause.
