Relative Pronouns (Seri Belajar Bahasa Inggris)

Written by on ,
Relative Pronoun atau kata ganti sambung, antara lain : who, whose, whom, which, that.

Relative Pronoun sebagai Subjek (Who)
Relative Pronoun ini dipakai untuk subyek dengan pelaku manusia.
Di belakang who adalah tobe, to have, kata bantu, atau kata kerja

Contoh :
The girls who came here yesterday are my schoolmate.
Where is the client who will meet me?
Kalimat kalimat yang saya cetak miring dan tebal diatas, yang memuat Relative Pronoun disebut sebagai Adjective Clause.
Relative Pronoun yang bersifat Subyek (who, that, which) bisa dihilangkan asal kata kerja berikutnya berakhiran "ing".



Contoh :
The girls who came here yesterday are my schoolmate.
The girls coming here yesterday are my schoolmate.

Relative Pronoun sebagai possessive (Whose)
Whose untuk pelaku manusia.
Di belakang whose adalah nama benda tanpa kata sandang.
Contoh:

The girl whose mother is a teacher is very beautiful.
The woman whose husband is driving a car is my friend.
Relative Pronoun sebagai obyek (Whom)
Relative pronoun Whom dipakai untuk pelaku manusia sebagai penderita atau yang terkena sasaran.
Contoh :
Where is the client whom i want to meet?

Relative Pronoun Which
Which dipakai untuk pelaku barang atau binatang baik sebagai subyek, possessive, atau obyek.

Contoh :
The flower which is blooming in the front garden is Alamanda Flower.
The dog which ran in the street yesterday is wild.

Relative Pronoun That
That dipakai untuk pelaku barang atau binatang baik sebagai subyek, possessive, atau obyek.
Cara menggabungkan dua kalimat menjadi satu kalimat dengan menggunakan Relative Pronoun.

Pertama adalah cari Relative Pronounce pada kalimat kedua. Gantilah pronoun tersebut dengan Relative pronoun yang sesuai, letak Relative Pronoun ada di belakang pelaku.

Contoh :
The women are very clever, they can speak English very well.
The women who can speak English very well are very clever.
The book is on the table, It is a new release from a famous author.
The book which is a new release from a famous author is on the table.
Alamanda Flower is very beautiful, the colour is yellow.
Alamanda Flower of which the colour is yellow is very beautiful.
Catatan : Untuk Relative Pronoun (Whom, Which, That) yang bersifat obyek, bisa dihilangkan begitu saja, tanpa merubah arti.

Contoh :
The girl whom/that i saw in the shop yesterday is my friend.
The girl i saw in the shop yesterday is my friend.
