Let's learn English!

Ngganjel di gigi kalo ga diselesein materi terakhir buat besok, walopun ga tau juga apakah teman2 seperjuangan masih bangun. =P

Nah sekarang kita bicara tentang adverb clauses dengan subordinating conjuction 'when'. Kalo ketemu adv clauses dengan conjuction 'when', apakah bisa mbak dijadiin adverbial phrases?
Jawabannya....tentu bisa tapi ada syaratnya lhooo =P *lagilagisyarat...hihihihi

Nah...syaratnya ada 2:
1. Ubah bentuk when menjadi upon + -ing
2. Bawa dia untuk mengawali kalimat *kalo 'when' nya ada di belakang kalimat utama
*syarat utama untuk mengubah adv clauses dan adv phrases tetap berlaku ya....apa coba?
Ingat ga????
Yups...subject pada main clauses n adv clauses HARUS SAMA

Langsung ke contoh ya sodara2 =)
1. When I saw him for the first time, I believed that he would be mine. *wkwkwkwk =D
::: Upon seeing him for the first time, I believed that he would be mine. =*)

Tambahan lagi ibu bapak....upon bisa lebih dipersingkat lagi jadi on.
Jadi, kalimat no 1 bisa ditulis gini:
::: On seeing him for the first time, I believed that he would be mine.

2. When you came to my house, my father asked me many questions.
Hayoooo...yang ini ga bisa dirubah ya.
Jangan buru2 langsung main ubah, lihat dulu, analisa dulu apakah subject-nya sama.
Jelas kan? Satunya 'you', satunya 'my father'. =D

3. When she went to the market, she met her old friend.
::: Upon going to the market, she met her old friend.
::: On going to the market, she met her old friend.

4. I recognized him when I passed him.
::: Upon passing him, I recognized him.
::: On passing him, I recognized him.

Nah, untuk contoh yang ini, kalo kamu mau jadikan dia sebagai adverbial phrase, bawa dia untuk mengawali kalimat. Jadi upon alias on tempatnya di depan ya. Jelas? =D

5. I asked my boss again when I forgot what he ordered.
::: Upon forgetting what my boss ordered, I asked him again.
::: On forgetting what my boss ordered, I asked him again.
