Noun Clause Part 1
08/06/14 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.
