Dalam sesi belajar Bahasa Inggris sebelumnya kita telah mengulas klausa relatif dengan pronomina relatif sebagai subyek. Dalam sesi belajar Bahasa Inggris kali ini kita masih akan membahas materi klausa relatif.

Ada jenis klausa relatif yang berbeda. Dalam setiap jenis yang berbeda, pronomina relatif memiliki fungsi yang berbeda. Ia mungkin sebagai subyek atau obyek dalam klausanya sendiri.

Pronomina relatif mungkin sebagai obyek dalam klausanya sendiri. Klausa relatif pola obyek dibentuk sebagai berikut:

     whom

     which  + subject  + verb  + complement

     that

     0

Contoh kalimat Bahasa Inggris:

   The address that he gave me was incorrect.

Dalam contoh-contoh berikut, perhatikan bagaimana kalimat a dan b digabung untuk membentuk kalimat c, yang mengandung klausa relatif pola obyek. Obyek dalam kalimat b, yang berubah ke pronomina relatif, dicoret mendatar. Simak bagaimana that digunakan hanya dalam klausa restriktif dan mungkin dihilangkan sepenuhnya dalam klausa pola obyek.

PRACTICE: Relative Pronouns as Objects

PERINTAH:

Combine the two sentences in each pair to make a new sentence containing a relative clause in the object pattern. Follow these steps:

STEP 1: Change the object in the second sentence to a relative pronoun. Use whom, which, that, or no pronoun as appropriate. Move the relative pronoun to the beginning of its clause.

STEP 2: Combine the two sentences, placing the new relative clause as close to its antecedent as possible.

STEP 3: Add commas if the relative clause is nonrestrictive or non-defining.
