Inti ‘rules’-nya sama
kok kalau mau reduced clauses both adj n adv clauses *dalam bentuk aktif* =)
1.
The subject
refers to the same thing.
2.
Hilangkan subjek
dari adv/adj clauses.
3.
Jika kata kerja
di adv/adj clauses-nya dalam bntuk to-be, maka tinggal hilangkan saja. Kalau
bukan dalam be-verb, main verb-nya kita ubah ke bentuk V-ing.
4.
Poin no 3 itu
berlaku jika adv/adj clauses-nya merupakan klausa bentuk positif. =)
Lanjut ke contoh:
1.
Although he is
fat, he will always be the
only man whom I love. *ciiiieee*
-
Same subject: he => omitted
-
Verb di adv
clause-nya adalah be-verb, maka tendang dia juga.
-
Alhasil:
Although fat, he will always be the only man whom I love.
2.
He never forgets
to remind her to eat since he knew that she is a workaholic.
-
Same subject: he => omitted
-
Verb di adv
clause BUKAN be-verb, maka ubah ke bentuk V-ing => knowing
-
Alhasil: He
never forgets to remind her to eat since knowing that she is a workaholic.
3.
She would not
look for another man if he told her his true feeling. *jeeeeb*
-
Different
subject: she vs. he =>
cannot be reduced
4.
While I am
waiting for him, I have to
concentrate on my study.
-
Same subject: I
-
Verb di adv
clause-nya adalah be-verb, hilangkan dia.
-
Alhasil:
While waiting for him, I have to
concentrate on my study.
ATAU
Waiting for him, I have to concentrate
on my study.
5.
Because I love
writing, I will never give up
on it.
-
Same subject: I
-
Verb di adv
clause BUKAN be-verb, ubah ke bentuk V-ing => loving
-
Alhasil:
Because loving writing, I will never
give up on it.
ATAU
Loving writing, I will never give up on
it.
NOTE:
-
Dalam bentuk
reduced form-nya, connectors dalam adv clauses tidak hilang karena connectors
BUKAN subjeknya, kecuali WHILE, BECAUSE/SINCE. lihat ini dan ini
-
Connector dengan
‘while’ dan ‘because/since’ boleh dihilangkan, boleh enggak. (examples no 4 n 5)
-
‘since’ yang
dimaksud di sini adalah ‘since’ yg artinya ‘karena’
