4.       Nominal relative clauses

Nominal relative clauses ini juga menggunakan WH-elements. Trs apa bedanya dengan WH-interrogative clauses? Naaaah...bedanya ada pada artinya. Kalo WH-interrogative clauses itu masih menyisakan tanda tanya untuk kita karena belum ada kejelasan, sedangkan nominal relative clauses, sdh cukup informasi utk membuat kita tau =D
Mubeng juga?hahaha Lihat contoh ini:
§  What made him that upset is still questionable.
§  What made him that upset is his girlfriend forgot his birthday.
Nah..kalo kalimat pertama kan masih membuat kita bertanya2 apa yang bikin si cowok marah, masih belum ada kejelasan, makanya itu termasuk WH-interrogative clause, sedangkan kalimat kedua sudah jelas kan kalo yang bikin si cow marah itu karena hari ulang taunnya dilupakan pacarnya, jadi dia termasuk nominal relative clause. Jelas??? =D

Sekarang, masuk ke nominal relative clauses:
§  Subject: What made him that upset is his girlfriend forgot his birthday.
§  Direct object: I want to know whatever progress you have made so far.
§  Indirect object: The rich man gave whoever people he met his money.
§  Subject complement: Good friends are whoever makes you convenient to be who you are.
§  Object complement: You can ask me where you should address the letter.
Object complement: pelengkap untuk obyek. In this case: me.
§  Prepositional complement: Think about whatever makes you feel positive.

5.       To-infinitive nominal clauses

Jika NC berfungsi sebagai subyek dalam to-infinitive nominal clauses, biasanya menggunakan ‘for’.
§  Subject: For he never gives up on me makes me so grateful. =*)
§  Direct object: I hope my friends to be healthy and happy.
§  Subject complement: My wildest dream is to be yours. *wkawkawka…hiburan di tengah malam* =D
§  Appositive: Her dream, to be a pianist, comes true.
§  Adjectival complement: It’s nice to meet you again. ^^

6.       Nominal-ing clauses

Namanya aja pake ‘-ing’, udah pasti nanti ada gerund-nya. ^^
§  Subject: Loving you is everything. *preeeettt =p*
§  Direct object: I love listening to his voice. ^^
§  Subject complement: My favorite moment is spending time only with you. *Ahihihi =P*
§  Appositive: My opinion, spending this holiday in Semarang, is agreed.
§  Prepositional complement: I can’t wait for meeting you again.
§  Adjectival complement: It’s great watching his performance again.
§  Genitive: I’m very upset about his/Boni’s saying such thing. *NC as prepositional complement*

§  Objective or common case (INFORMAL):  I’m very upset about him/Boni saying such thing. *NC as prepositional complement*

Noun Clause Part 1
by Unknown in

Noun clause: klausa yang berfungsi sebagai ‘noun’ alias kata benda.

Ada 6 bentuk noun clauses (NC):
1.       That-clauses 
2.       WH-interrogative clauses 
3.       Yes-no interrogative clauses
4.       Nominal relative clauses 
5.       To-infinitive nominal clauses 
6.       Nominal-ing clauses

Dan noun clause bisa berfungsi sebagai berikut:
·         Subject 
·         Direct object 
·         Indirect object
·         Subject complement 
·         Object complement 
·         Prepositional complement
·         Adjectival complement 
·         Appositive


One..Two..Three..Gooooo!!!!
1.       That-clause
That-clause dpt berfungsi sbb:
§  Subject: That he still loves me even though I have hurt him is a surprise for me.
§  Direct object: I understand that she was upset.
§  Subject complement: My mistake is that I cannot understand the way he loves me. =*)
Complement itu pelengkap. Jadi, subject complement berarti pelengkapnya subyek. Artinya, dia melengkapi alias menerangkan subyek. Subject complement (SC) itu muncul setelah to be (is, am, are, was, were, etc) atau linking verb (get, look, seem, taste, etc). Dia bisa berupa noun (dan turunannya), adj, atau adv. Jelas? Jadi kl besok NC muncul setelah to be atau linking V, maka ga usah bingung2 ya, guys! =D
§  Appositive: His opinion, that he will never win her heart, is totally wrong. *JADIIAAANN!! >.<*
Apa sih appositive itu? Aku lagi ga pengen jelasin panjang lebar, tapi semoga link ini membantu: http://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/appositive_apposition.htm
Satu lagi…hint untuk kalian mengerjakan besok: NC yang muncul dengan diapit tanda koma itu adalah appositive. Jadi, jangan pusyang2 ya besok kalo NC-nya diapit tanda koma itu fungsinya apa. =D
§  Adjectival complement: I’m glad that we can hold on this far.
Adj complement: pelengkap adjective. In this case: ‘glad’, jadi NC di sini menerangkan ‘glad’.

Untuk that-clause, jika NC berfungsi sebagai object atau complement, ‘that’-nya bisa dihilangkan (INFORMAL). Tapiiii…jika dia sebagai subject, jangan pernah coba2 hilangkan ya! =D
Compare:
§  I’m glad we can hold on this far. (informal)
§  I understand she was upset. (informal)
§  WRONG!!! He still loves me even though I have hurt him is a surprise for me. ???

2.       WH-interrogative clause
§  Subject: What made him that upset is still questionable.
§  Direct object: No one understands how they solved the problem.
§  Subject complement: Our problem now is who will explain this matter.
§  Appositive: Her only question, why he suddenly left her, can never be answered. *contoh yang mengenaskan =p*
§  Adjectival complement: I’m not sure where his house is.
§  Prepositional complement: We cannot depend on who will help us understand this matter.
Prepositional complement: pelengkap preposition (in, on, at, for, etc)

3.       Yes-no interrogative clause
Yes-no interrogative clause ditandai dengan pemakaian if/whether.
Examples:
§  Do you know if/whether our lecturer will go back to USA? *you know who =p*
§  I don’t really know whether he will stay or go.
§  I can understand whether or not you want to leave me. =’(
§  ???? I can understand if or not you want to leave me. ‘IF’ tidak bisa diikuti ‘or not’ SECARA LANGSUNG hanyalah ‘whether’ => ‘whether or not’ yang bisa.
§  Tapi kalo ini masih bisa: I can understand if you want to leave me or not. Tapi memang ‘if…..not’ jarang digunakan. Kalo ‘if’ ya ‘if’ aja, yang jelas JANGAN PERNAH letakkan ‘if not’ secara langsung berjejeran gitu. =D
§  Klausa yang diawali dengan ‘whether’ tidak bisa dibuat negatif.
Compare:
·         I can understand if she doesn’t want to leave him.
·         WRONG!!! I can understand whether she doesn’t want to leave him.
·         Instead of the sentence above, use this: I can understand whether she wants to leave him or not.
Tapiii…kadang2 ‘whether’ bisa juga diikuti dengan kata kerja negative DENGAN CATATAN kalo ada introductory verbs or adjectives. Example:
·         I wonder (I’m sure) whether the most handsome guy in our class cannot win her heart.
§  Terakhir, ‘if’ tidak bisa digunakan untuk mengawali kalimat alias tidak bisa berfungsi sebagai subjek. Compare:

·         Whether she wants to go or not doesn’t really bother me.
·         WRONG!!!! If she wants to go or not doesn’t really bother me.

 .................to be continued =*)
