Belajar Bahasa Inggris: Relative Pronouns as Objects of Prepositions



belajar bahasa inggris pronomina relatif sebagai obyek preposisi, belajar bahasa inggris relative pronouns as objects of prepositions, belajar bahasa inggris pronomina relatif sebagai obyek preposisi pola formal, belajar bahasa inggris pronomina relatif sebagai obyek preposisi pola informal, belajar bahasa inggris relative pronouns as objects of prepositions in the formal pattern, belajar bahasa inggris relative pronouns as objects of prepositions in the informal pattern, pronomina relatif sebagai obyek preposisi jadi bahasan belajar bahasa inggris




'There is the person he spoke to' sounds much better, and less pedantic, than 'There is the person to whom he spoke'.

There is the person to whom I spoke --> Jenis restriktif formal
There is the person I spoke to --> Jenis restriktif informal



pedantic = giving too much importance to details and formal rules
                  (suka menonjolkan keilmuannya)



Belajar Bahasa Inggris dengan materi klausa relatif masih berlanjut. Kali ini kita akan membahas pronomina relatif sebagai obyek dari preposisi.

Belajar Bahasa Inggris tentang Relative Pronouns as Objects of Prepositions


Pronomina relatif mungkin sebagai obyek dari preposisi dalam klausanya sendiri. Klausa relatif ini dibentuk dalam dua cara, cara formal dan cara informal. Klausa ini mungkin salah satu restriktif atau nonrestriktif.

Pronomina relatif sebagai obyek preposisi pola formal
Formula:

                        when
preposition +                 + subject + verb + complement
                        which

Contoh kalimat Bahasa Inggris:

The person to whom I mailed the letter never received it.

Pronomina relatif sebagai obyek preposisi pola informal
Formula:

whom
which  + subject + verb + complement + preposition
that
0

Contoh kalimat Bahasa Inggris:

The person whom I mailed the letter to never received it.

Dalam pola formal, preposisi hadir sebelum pronomina relatif. Dalam pola informal, preposisi muncul pada akhir klausa.

Dalam contoh-contoh berikut, perhatikan bagaimana kalimat a dan b digabung untuk membuat kalimat baru yang mengandung klausa relatif. Obyek dari preposisi dalam kalimat b, yang berubah ke pronomina relatif, dicoret mendatar. Kalimat c adalah formal, dan kalimat-kalimat dalam d adalah informal. Amati bagaimana that digunakan hanya pola informal klausa restriktif; ia boleh juga dihilangkan.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS FOR HUMANS
Restrictive: whom, that, 0
1. a. The candidate lost the election.
   b. I voted for the candidate.
   c. The candidate for whom I voted lost the election. (formal)
   d. The candidate whom I voted for lost the election. (informal)
      The candidate that I voted for lost the election.
      The candidate 0 I voted for lost the election.

Nonrestrictive: whom
2. a. Mayor Pyle lost the election.
   b. I voted for Mayor Pyle.
   c. Mayor Pyle, for whom I voted, lost the election. (formal)
   d. Mayor Pyle, whom I voted for, lost the election. (informal)

RELATIVE PRONOUNS FOR NONHUMANS/THINGS
Restrictive: which, that, 0
3. a. No one had read the book.
   b. He quoted from the book.
   c. No one had read the book from which he quoted. (formal)
   d. No one had read the book which he quoted from. (informal)
      No one had read the book that he quoted from.
      No one had read the book 0 he quoted from.

Nonrestrictive: which
4. a. The position of office manager had already filled.
   b. He applied for the position of office manager.
   c. The position of office manager, for which he applied, had already filled.

PRACTICE: Relative Pronouns as Objects of Prepositions
PERINTAH:
Change the second sentence in each pair to a relative clause, and combine it with the first sentence. The prepositional phrase that you should change is underlined. Write each new sentence twice: once in the formal pattern and once in an informal pattern.

1. Finding reasonably priced housing in big cities is a problem. Many young people are concerned about the problem.
   Formal pattern: ____________________________________________________________________
   Informal pattern: _________________________________________________________________________________
2. Affordable apartments are scarce. Young people would like to live in them.
   Formal pattern: _________________________________________________________________________________
   Informal pattern: _________________________________________________________________________________
3. Of course, many young people share apartments, but they have to choose roommates carefully. They will share living space and expanses with these roommates.
   Formal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________
   Informal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________
4. Living with people can be stressful, but it can also be fun. You are not related to the people.
   Formal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________
   Informal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________
5. In many countries, young people continue to live with their parents in the same house. They grew up in that house.
   Formal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________
   Informal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________
6. In the United States, young people don't want to live with their parents. They typically declare their independence from their parents at age eighteen.
   Formal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________
   Informal pattern: __________________________________________________________________________________

Setelah membaca ulasan ini Anda punya rujukan apakah Anda akan menggunakan klausa relatif jenis restriktif formal atau restriktif informal.
--> Jika Anda menggunakan jenis restriktif formal, Anda akan mengatakan: The candidate for whom I voted lost the election. (Anda menonjolkan keilmuannya)
--> Jika Anda menggunakan jenis restriktif informal, Anda akan mengatakan: The candidate I voted for lost the election. (Terdengar lebih baik dan Anda tidak menonjolkan keilmuannya)

Apa itu Relative Clauses?

Relative Clause. Relative clause adalah klausa dependen yang berfungsi sebagai adjektiva; oleh karenanya, ia menerangkan nomina atau pronomina. Untuk alasan ini, klausa relatif juga disebut klausa adjektiva.

   The first American thanksgiving feast, which took place in 1621, lasted three days.
   Everyone who studied for the exam passed it easily.

Dalam kalimat pertama, klausa dependen which took place in 1621 adalah klausa relatif yang menerangkan frasa nomina the first American thanksgiving feast. Frasa nomina ini adalah anteseden dari klausa relatif.

Lalu apa klausa relatif dalam kalimat kedua? Apa antesedennya? Apakah antesedennya nomina atau pronomina?

Klausa relatifnya adalah who studied for the exam
Antesedennya adalah everyone yang berupa pronomina.

Baca juga:  Klausa Relatif Pola Obyek atau Klausa Relatif dengan Pronomina Relatif sebagai Obyek.

Relative Pronouns and Adverbs

Klausa relatif mulai dengan pronomina relatif atau adverbia relatif.

Pronomina      who, whom, whose, that         merujuk ke manusia
                          which, that, whose                  merujuk ke bukan manusia dan benda


Adverbia           when, where                          merujuk ke waktu atau tempat

Position of Relative Clauses

Tempatkan klausa relatif setelah antesedennya dan sedekat mungkin kepada anteseden tersebut untuk menghindari kebingungan.

Confusing:
He left the gift in his friend's car that he had just bought.
(Ini tidak jelas apakah klausa relatif menerangkan car atau gift.)

Corrected:
He left the gift that he had just bought in his friend's car.
(Klausa relatif dengan jelas menerangkan gift.)

Kadang-kadang, frasa preposisi hadir antara anteseden dan klausa relatif.

    Manarung was visited by a friend from San Juan who was touring the country.
   Try writing a sentence of your own that contains a relative clause.

Verb Agreement in Relative Clauses

Verba dalam klausa relatif seharusnya berkesesuaian dalam jumlah dengan antesedennya. Bandingkan:
  
   A person who works part-time usually receives no benefits.
   (Verba works bentuk singular untuk berkesesuaian dengan anteseden singular person.)

   People who work part-time usually receive no benefits.
   (Verba work bentuk plural untuk berkesesuaian dengan anteseden plural people.)

Punctuation of Relative Clauses

Klausa relatif bisa salah satu restrictive (necessary) atau nonrestrictive (unnecessary). Klausa restriktif penting dan sangat diperlukan karena ia memberi identitas antesedennya demi pembaca. Jangan gunakan koma dengan klausa restriktif. Istilah restrictive kadang-kadang dikenal dengan istilah defining dan nonrestrictive dengan istilah non-defining.

   The professor who teaches my biology class won a Nobel Prize two years ago.
   (Profesor yang mana yang memenangkan Hadiah Nobel dua tahun yang lalu? Klausa who teaches my biology class sangat diperlukan untuk mengidentifikasi sang profesor.)

   He won the prize for research that might lead to a cure for AIDS.
   (Untuk riset yang mana dia memenangkan hadiah? Kita memerlukan klausa that might lead to a cure for AIDS untuk memberitahu kita.)

Klausa nonrestriktif tidak begitu diperlukan untuk memberi identitas antesedennya; ia hanya memberi pembaca beberapa informasi tambahan. Karena ia dapat dihilangkan tanpa mengurangi makna, pisahkan ia (nonrestrictive clause) dari sisa kalimat dengan koma.

   Professor Jones, who teaches my biology class, won a Nobel Prize two years ago.
   (Orang yang memenamgkan Hadiah Nobel diidentifikasi oleh namanya, sehingga klausa who teaches my biology class adalah tambahan, informasi yang tak begitu diperlukan tentang Professor Jones. Jika ia dihilangkan, kita masih akan tahu orang yang mana yang memenangkan Hadiah Nobel.)

   He won the prize for his research into the structure of T-cells, which might lead to a cure for AIDS.
  (Kita telah tahu untuk riset yang mana dia memenangkan hadiah: his research into the structure of T-cells. Informasi which might lead to a cure for AIDS tak begitu diperlukan untuk mengidentifikasi riset; ia hanya memberi kita informasi tambahan tentang riset.)

Review of Adverbial Clauses

Adverbial Clause. An adverbial clause is a dependent clause introduced by an adverbial subordinator. It is used to modify the verb of the independent clause and tells when (time), where (place), why (reason), for what purpose, how, how long, or how far. It is also used to show contrast: concession (unexpected result) and direct apposition.

Place an adverbial clause either before or after an independent clause. If the adverbial clause comes before an independent clause, it is followed by a comma. If it comes after an independent clause, do not use a comma (except with whereas/while).
     
     The south of the country continues to grow richer, while the north grows poorer.
     Whereas knowledge can be acquired from books, skills must be learned through practice.

Types of Adverbial Clauses

There are different types of adverbial clauses, each with its own subordinators

ADVERBIAL SUBORDINATORS

Time:
when, whenever, while, as soon as, after, since, as, before, until
--> Whenever I had to speak in front of people, I was paralyzed by fear.

--> I saw unfriendly, critical faces everywhere I looked.

Manner, Distance, and Frequency: as, as + adverb + as, as if/as though

because, since, as
--> Since I need to make speeches for career advancement, I enrolled in a speech class.

Purpose:

Result:

so much/little + noun + that
so many/few + noun + that
--> At first, making a speech made me so nervous that I got stomachache before every class.
--> During the semester, I made so many speeches that I lost some of my fear.

Concession (unexpected result):

--> Even though I am a politician, I still don't enjoy speaking in public.

Contrast (direct apposition):

EDITING PRACTICEAdverbial Clauses
Edit the following essay for errors in adverbial clauses. There are thirteen errors. Look for these kinds of mistakes:

An incorrect sentence connector (subordinator or coordinator) is used:
    I made an appointment with my history professor, so I could ask his advice about graduate schools.
  
Corrected: I made an appointment with my history professor so that I could ask his advice about graduate school.

There are too many sentence connectors: 
   Even though I am studying five hours a night, but I am still getting low grades.
   
Corrected: Even though I am studying five hours a night, I am still getting low grades.
                                                           OR
                    I am studying five hours a night, but I am still getting low grades.

A subordinator is used with the wrong clause: 
   Because we arrived late, we had a flat tire.
Corrected: We arrived late because we had a flat tire.

Commas should be added or deleted: 
   He doesn't eat meat, because he is a vegetarian.
Corrected: He doesn't eat meat because he is a vegetarian.


Addicted to the Net

1A lot of people enjoy surfing the Net. 2They look for interesting Websites and chat with people all over the world. 3However, some people spend such many hours on-line that they are Internet addicts. 4Although an average person spends about eight to twelve hours per week, but an addict spends eight to twelve hours per day on-line. 5Because addicts spend so much time interacting with the computer so it can affect their lives negatively. 6They become social recluses, because they stop going out and talking to people face to face. 7They avoid real-life social situations, preferring instead to be in a dimly lit room with only the glowing screen to light up their lives.

8Internet addiction negatively affects not only the addicts themselves, but also the people around them. 9For example, John's marriage to Maria broke up until he insisted on spending so many hours on the Net. 10As soon as he arrived home from work he was at his computer. 11While he finished dinner, he would disappear into his computer room again. 12He paid so little attention to her, that she finally divorced him.

13As college students are especially technologically skilled they can easily become nonstop Net-surfers. 14Many colleges provide computers at several locations around campus since students can use them at any time day or night. 15As a result, students can spend too much time surfing the Net instead of "surfing" their textbooks. 16Last semester, nine freshmen at Berkshire College flunked out although they became Internet addicts.

17In short, even though the Internet is an excellent source of information and entertainment, but we must not let it take over our lives.
