DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES

As the name suggests, these clauses give essential information to define or identify the person or thing we are talking about. Obviously, this is only necessary if there is more than one person or thing involved.

Examples

·         Dogs that like cats are very unusual.

In this sentence we understand that there are many dogs, but it is clear that we are only talking about the ones that like cats.

Punctuation

·         Commas are not used in defining relative clauses.

Relative pronouns

The following relative pronouns are used in defining relative clauses:

	Person	Thing	Place	Time	Reason
Subject	who/that	which/that
Object	who/whom/that/	which/that/	where	when	why
Possessive	whose	whose

Notes:

1.       The relative pronoun stands in place of a noun.

This noun usually appears earlier in the sentence:

The woman	who/that	spoke at the meeting	was very knowledgeable.
Noun, subject of main clause	relative pronoun referring to 'the woman', subject of 'spoke'	verb + rest of relative clause	verb + rest of main clause

2.       Who, whom and which can be replaced by that. This is very common in spoken English.

3.       The relative pronoun can be omitted when it is the object of the clause

The woman	that	the man loved	was living in New York.
Noun, subject of main clause	relative pronoun, referring to 'the woman', object of 'loved'	verb + rest of relative clause	verb + rest of main clause.

(You can usually decide whether a relative pronoun is an object because it is normally followed by another subject + verb.)

4. Whose is used for things as well as for people.

Examples

·         The man whose car was stolen.

·         A tree whose leaves have fallen.

5. Whom is very formal and is only used in written English. You can use who/that, or omit the pronoun completely :

·         The doctor whom/who/that/ I was hoping to see wasn't on duty.

6. That normally follows words like something, anything, everything, nothing, all, and superlatives.

Examples

·         There's something that you should know.

·         It was the best film that I've ever seen.

·         A clown is someone who makes you laugh.

·         An elephant is an animal that lives in hot countries.

·         The plums that were in the fridge were delicious. I have eaten them.

·         Where are the plums (that) I put in the fridge?

·         Has anyone seen the book I was reading?

·         Nothing that anyone does can replace my lost bag.

·         Let's go to a country where the sun always shines.

·         They live in the house whose roof is full of holes.

Passive Voice
Passive voice merupakan struktur kalimat penulisan dalam bahasa Inggris yang mana subject (pelaku) dari kalimat tersebut dikenakan suatu pekerjaan. Passive voice tidak hanya ada dalam bahasa Inggris saja, dalam bahasa Indonesia kita mengenal Kalimat Pasif dengan perubahan yang sangat simple yaitu imbuhan di- / ter-.  Misalkan Rini membaca sebuah novel (kalimat aktif) novel dibaca oleh Rini (kalimat pasif).

Pola Passive Voice

Perubahan active voice ke passive voice tidak semudah perubahan kalimat aktif ke dalam kalimat pasif dalam bahasa Indonesia.

Pola:
S + Be + Verb-3 + By Agent

Ket:

S: Subjek

Be: To be

Verb-3: Kata kerja bentuk ketiga

By Agent: Pelaku

Contoh:

Rini    reads    Novel. (Active Voice)

 [S]    [V1]   [Object]

Novel      is          read      by Rini. (Passive Voice)

   [S]    [to be]     [V3]    [by agent]

Dalam pembuatan kalimat passive voice, kita tidak akan lepas dengan yang namanya tenses. Yup, karena dalam penentuan 'to be' pada kalimat passive voice tergantung pada tenses kalimat aktifnya.

Tenses	Active Voice	Passive Voice
Simpe Present	He buys a novel.	A novel is bought by him.
Present Continous	He is buying a novel.	A novel is being bought by him.
Present Perfect	He has bought a novel.	A novel has been bought by him.
Present Perfect Continous	He has been buying a novel.	A novel has been being bought by him.
Simple Past	He bought a novel.	A novel was bought by him.
Past Continous	He was buying a novel.	A novel was being bought by him.
Past Perfect	He had bought a novel.	A novel had been bought by him.
Past Perfect Continous	He had been buying a novel.	A novel had been being bought by him.
Simple Future	He will buy a novel.	A novel will be bought by him.
Future Continous	He will be buying a novel.	A novel will be being bought by him.
Future Perfect	He will have bought a novel.	A novel will have been bought by him.
Future Perfect Continous	He will have been buying a novel.	A novel will have been being bought by him.

Kalimat Yang Tidak Dapat Dipasifkan

Sebagaimana kita ketahui bawah hanya active voice (kalimat aktif) yang menggunakan verb (kata kerja) transitif (yang membutuhkan object) saja yang bisa dipasifkan. Misalkan:

He steals the television. (active voice)
the television is stolen by him. (passive voice)

Kalimat aktif di atas merupakan kalimat yang mengandung verb transtif yaitu 'steal' dan objek 'television'. Sebagaimana penjelasan di atas bahwa kalimat yang mengandung transtif verb itu lah yang bisa dipasifkan. Tapi tidak semua kalimat bahasa Inggris bisa dipasifkan. Berikut ini merupakan jenis-jenis kalimat tersebut.

1. Kalimat Nominal

Kalimat Nominal adalah kalimat bahasa Inggris yang membutuhkan tobe (am, is, are, was, were) sebagai kata kerja utama. Contoh:

I am beautiful.
He is sad.
They were tired.

Jenis kalimat tersebut di atas tidak dapat dipasifkan.

2. Kalimat Yang Menggunakan Intransitive Verb

Jenis kalimat yang ke dua yang tidak bisa dipasifkan adalah jenis kalimat yang mengandung verb (kata kerja) intransitif atau kata kerja yang tidak membutuhkan objek. Contoh:

I sleep there.
He arraives at home.
She dies.

Verb (kata kerja) intransitive seperti 'sleep', 'arrive' dan 'die' yang tidak memiliki objek tidak bisa dipasifkan.

3. Kalimat yang menggunakan Transitive Verb tertentu.

Saat kita ingin membuat kalimat pasif sarat utamanya adalah menggunakan Transitive Verb (kata kerja yang membutuhkan objek). Namun, ada pengecualian untuk Transitive Verb dibawah ini yang memang tidak bisa dipasifkan walaupun termasuk kedalam Transitive Verb. Transitif Verb di bawah ini termasuk ke dalam Stative Verbs, Seperti:

Lack (kurang) : Your mother lacks tact.
Fit (pas) : My shoes don't fit me.
Suit (Cocok) : This dress suits me well.
Have (memiliki) : They have a nice house.
Resemble (mirip) : Sylvia resembles a Greek goddness.

Jika sebuah kalimat aktif terdapat verb transitive seperti di atas (lack, fit, suit, have, dan resemble) termasuk kalimat aktif yang tidak dapat dipasifkan.

Penulisan By Agent

Dalam penulisan passive voice, kita biasanya menggunakan 'By' untuk menunjukan agent atau pelaku - orang atau benda yang melakukan pekerjaan atau yang menyebabkan sesuatu terjadi. Penulisan 'By Agent' pada kalimat passive voice ditujukan karena untuk menambah informasi dalam kalimat passive voice tersebut. Contoh:

This house was built by my grandfather.
This great novel was written by JJ. Tolkien

Tetapi tidak semua kalimat passive voice harus mencantumkan 'By Agent'. Kita boleh tidak menyertakan 'By Agent' dalam pembuatan passive voice jika orang atau benda yang melakukan pekerjaan tidak diketahui atau tidak penting. Contoh:

A lot of money was stolen in the robbery. (Tidak diketahui pelakunya)
The road is cleaned everyday. (Tidak terlalu penting pelakunya)
