REDUCED ADVERB CLAUSES *the active ones*
06/03/14 by Unknown in



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’

  1. Assalamualaikum..
    Kalo blh tanya perbedaan reduce adverb dgn connector atau tanpa connector apa ya...??
    Ex1:: >> While working in my room, I didn’t let someone else to disturb.
    Ex2:: >> Working in my room, I didn’t let someone else to disturb.
    Karena saya masih bingung apakah "While working in my room" itu masih berupa clause atau sudah menjadi phrase seperti "Working in my room" ??
    Thanks :)

    Truz kalo uda masuk ke soal juga masih bingung...misal:

    Janet Collin's struggle to make a place for herself in ballet is the kind of life story ________ a fascinating novel might be written.
    a. of
    b. by
    c. for whom
    d. about which

    Kira-kira gmn ya analisa jawaban yang dibutuhkan yang mna ??
