Using Clauses As Nouns, Adjectives, and Adverbs
Adverbs
Menjelaskan makna clause memberikan pengertian bahwa satu kalimat bisa berdiri
sendiri artinya memiliki makna yang utuh meskipun berupa kalimat tunggal
atau disebut kalimat independen. Contoh:
Guruh is in Jakarta
Kalimat ini tidak bisa berdiri sendiri karena seolah masih bertanya ada apa ‘ketika’ Guruh
berada di Jakarta. Ini berupa keterangan sehingga disebut adverb clause.
adverb
The committee will meet tomorrow.
adverb clause
The committee will meet when Guruh is in Jakarta.
Dependent clauses can stand not only for adverbs, but also for nouns and for adjectives.
Noun Clauses
Noun Clause merupakan klausa yang menempati posisi ‘noun’ / kata benda. Karena
posisinya sebagai noun maka dalam kalimat bisa menempati tempat sebagai Subyek atau
obyek atau obyek dalam preposisi.
Contoh:
A. noun
I know English.
noun clause
I know that English is widely spoken in the world.
B. noun
Their destination is unknown.
noun clause
Where they are going is unknown. (Subject)
Whoever broke the vase will have to pay for it.
The Toronto fans hope that the Blue Jays will win again. (as Object)

Adjective clause adalah anak kalimat dependen yang mengambil posisi kata sifat dalam
klausa atau frasa.
