Reduced Clause

Posted by Rizqi Sabtu, 13 Juni 2009



Reduced clause adalah klausa atau kumpulan kata (bisa disebut kalimat juga sih) yang dihilangkan unsur Subyek dan Predikatnya sehingga berubah menjadi phrase.
Contoh :
The guy who were standing in front of me is the Project Manager.
Jika anda perhatikan, kalimat berwarna biru itu adalah kalimat lengkap. Karena punya subyek (Who), Predikat ( were standing) dan keterangan (in front of me)

Sehingga, kalimat tersebut bisa disingkat menjadi,
The guy standing in front of me is the Project Manager.

dan artinya masih sama. Apa pun bentuk tensesnya, begitulah penyingkatannya.
(coba perhatikan baik2 kata apa yang hilang?)

Contoh diatas adalah bentuk kalimat aktifnynya. Gimana dengan bentuk kalimat pasifnya?

Contoh lain :
The girl who was kissed by Brad Pitt is Jennifer Aniston.

Kalimat ini bisa dipendekkan menjadi:
The girl kissed by Brad Pitt is Jennifer Aniston.
