Relative clauses Relatif klausa

Kita dapat menggunakan klausa relatif untuk bergabung dengan dua kalimat bahasa Inggris, atau memberikan informasi lebih lanjut tentang sesuatu.

Defining and Non-defining
Sebuah klausa relatif mendefinisikan kata benda yang memberitahu kita berbicara tentang
Contoh :
I like the woman who lives next door.
(If I don’t say ‘who lives next door’, then we don’t know which woman I mean)


Defining relative clauses
Pertama, mari kita pertimbangkan ketika kata ganti relatif adalah subyek dari klausa relatif terdefinisi.

We can use 'who', 'which' or 'that'. Kita dapat menggunakan 'siapa', 'yang' atau 'itu'. We use 'who' for people and 'which' for things. Kami menggunakan 'yang' untuk 'yang' orang dan hal. We can use 'that' for people or things. Kita dapat menggunakan 'yang' untuk orang atau hal.

The relative clause can come after the subject or the object of the sentence. Klausa relatif dapat datang setelah subjek atau objek kalimat. We can't drop the relative pronoun. Kami tidak bisa drop kata ganti relatif.

For example (clause after the object of the sentence):

* I’m looking for a secretary who / that can use a computer well.
* She has a son who / that is a doctor.
* We bought a house which / that is 200 years old.
* I sent a letter which / that arrived three weeks later.

More examples (clause after the subject of the sentence):

* The people who / that live on the island are very friendly.
* The man who / that phoned is my brother.
* The camera which / that costs £100 is over there.
* The house which / that belongs to Julie is in London.
