Nah
ini adalah poin2 yg harus diingat yg membedakan pseudo-cleft sentences dgn postingan sebelumnya ttg cleft sentences:
- Kalo fokus kalimat dlm cleft sentences ada di depan, fokus kalimat dlm pseudo-cleft sentences ada di belakang.
- Kalimat pseudo-cleft sentences bersubjekan WH-clause, tapiii..ada restriction-nya juga, ntr ya liat di contoh langsung.
- Complement dalam pseudo-cleft sentences adalah an infinitive clause (boleh dengan to, boleh enggak). Nah ada pengecualiannya jg. Kalo kalimatnya bentuk progressive, maka complement-nya jg dlm bentuk –ing clause (note be going to)
1. I always need a little refreshment after I have an exam.
-
Fokus: a little
refreshment = What do I always need
after I have an exam?
-
Knp aku buat
pertanyaan? Ini untuk mempermudah membuat pseudo-cleft sentence-nya. Sesuai dengan
pertanyaannya yg diawali dgn ‘what’, maka subjeknya nanti jg pake ‘what’.
-
Tense: present
tense; maka nanti to be untuk menghubungkan kalimat jg present.
ð What I always need after I have an exam is a little refreshment.
-
Fokus: a pan of
pizza = What did my friend buy to
celebrate her birthday?
-
Tense: past
tense
ð What my friend bought to celebrate her birthday was a pan of pizza.
-
Fokus: bought a
pan of pizza = What did my friend do
to celebrate her birthday?
-
Tense: past
tense
ð What my friend did to celebrate her birthday was (to) buy a pan of pizza.
-
Nah..ini lho
yang kita bicarakan ttg poin2 yg harus diingat untuk pseudo-celft sentences. Kalo
fokusnya mengenai kata kerja alias verb, maka bentuknya adalah infinitive (V1),
sedangkan ‘to’ nya optional, suka2 kalianlah mau dipake ato enggak. Dua2nya
benar =D
-
Fokus: my friend
= Who bought a pan of pizza to
celebrate her birthday?
-
Tense: past
tense
ð Who bought a pan of pizza to celebrate her
birthday was my friend. (?????)
-
Nah ini juga
poin yg harus diingat dr pseudo-cleft sentences. Di poin no 2 tadi disebutkan
kalo subjek untuk pseudo-cleft sentence adalah WH-clause, tp yg perlu diingat
di sini adlh ada restriction-nya. Kalo kita amat2i sebenarnya yg WH-clause yg
bisa mentah2 dipake utk subjek adalah ‘what-clause’, yg lainnya perlu sedikit
modifikasi *anggap saja begitu* =D
-
Membuat pertanyaan
utk pseudo-cleft sentence itu sbnrnya cmn utk memberi gambaran utk membuat
subjek. Skrg kita pny ‘who’, berarti kita modifikasi sdkt spy subjeknya ttp
berintikan ‘who’ tp ga mentah2 pake ‘who’. Bisa kita tambah dgn ‘the person’,
sooooo:
ð The person who bought a pan of pizza to celebrate her birthday was my friend. ^^
-
Fokus: to
celebrate her birthday = Why did my
friend buy a pan of pizza?
-
Tense: past
tense
-
‘Why’ juga butuh
editing sodara2. Karena ‘why’ menunjukkan alasan, maka bagaimana kl kita edit
jd begini: ‘the reason why’? =D Sooo:
ð The reason why my friend bought a pan of pizza was to celebrate her birthday.
-
Fokus: dating
with his ex-girlfriend = What is he
doing?
- Tense: present
progressive; ingat poin2 pseudo-cleft sentence lg. Kalimatnya present, maka to
be yg dipake jg present. Daaaaan….dia progressive, maka complement-nya jg
progressive. So:
ð What he is doing is
dating with his ex-girlfriend.
-
Fokus: go to
Jogja to give a surprise to his girlfriend’s birthday = What is he going to do this Thursday?
-
Tense: simple
future; ini jg poin penting, bandingkan dengan kalimat no 6, walopun sama2 ada –ing
nya, tp be going to bukan progressive
sodara2, dia itu future, temannya willy (baca: will) =D Sooo:
ð What he is going to do this Thursday is (to) go to Jogja to give a surprise
to his girlfriend’s birthday.
-
Fokus: this
Thursday = When is he going to go to
Jogja to give a surprise to his girlfriend’s birthday?
-
Tense: simple
future
-
‘When’ jg harus
dimodif. Mudah saja karena dia menunjukkan keterangan waktu, pakai aja ‘the
time when’, ato karena dia uda spesifik menyebutkan hari, bisa jg pake ‘the day
when’…intinya: be creative! =D So:
ð The day when he is going to go to Jogja to give a surprise to
his girlfriend’s birthday is this
Thursday.
-
Fokus: at the
station = Where did you meet your
ex-boyfriend last week?
-
Tense: past
tense
-
‘Where’ jg perlu
modif lhoo =D Karena menunjukkan tempat, pake ‘the place where’ jg beres =D
ð The place where I met my ex-boyfriend last week was at the station.
-
Fokus: a bar of
chocolate and a piece of cake = What
did you eat this morning?
-
Tense: past
tense
ð What I only ate this morning were a bar of chocolate and a piece of cake.
NOTE: berbeda
dengan cleft sentence yg ‘to be’ penghubung kedua clause hny is/was, untuk
pseudo-cleft, ‘to be’ mengikuti fokusnya. Kalo fokusnya jamak, ya ‘to be’ nya
jamak. Contoh no 10.
