- Tanda Baca pada Adjective Clauses
Pedoman umum dalam Tanda Baca pada Adjective Clauses yaitu:
- Jangan menggunakan tanda koma bila Adjective Clause diperlukan untuk mengidentifikasi noun yang dijelaskan olehnya.
- Gunakanlah tanda koma bila Adjective Clause hanya berfungsi untuk memberi informasi tambahan dan tidak dimaksudkan untuk mengidentifikasi noun yang dijelaskan olehnya.
- Henry whose wife works at a bank came to my house yesterday.
- Alex, whose wife works at a bank, came to my house yesterday.
Keterangan:
Contoh pertama menggambarkan bahwa Henry memiliki lebih dari 1 istri. Pada kalimat tersebut pembicara ingin mengindentifikasikan istrinya yang bekerja di Bank, bukan yang lainnya.
Sedangkan pada kalimat kedua, kita sudah jelas, kalau Alex memiliki hanya 1 orang istri. Frase yang berada di antara koma hanya memberikan keterangan tambahan saja. Tanpa frase tersebut pun orang lain sudah mengetahuinya kalau istrinya Alex memang bekerja di sebuah Bank karena memang istrinya cuma 1 itu.
Perhatikan contoh berikut ini untuk lebih jelasnya dalam penggunaan tanda koma dalam Adjective Clause.
- Soekarno, who is the first President of Republic of Indonesia, could deliver speech well.
Karena adanya kesamaan dalam beberapa kata pendahulunya, maka kadang-kadang antara Noun Clause dan Adjective Clause sering membingungkan.
Ada 2 macam perbedaan yang penting antara dua jenis Clause tersebut: perhatikan contoh berikut ini:
- Adjective Clause biasanya didahului oleh noun atau pronoun yang diterangkan.
Adjective Clause
- I know the house where he lives.
Noun Clause
- I know where he lives.
Adjective Clause
- The woman to whom he has been giving money is a poor relative of his.
Noun Clause
- He gives money to whoever needs it.
