Using Clauses as Nouns, Adjectives, and

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
Namun beberapa kalimat tidak bisa berdiri sendiri (dependen) misalnya:
When 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

posisinya sebagai noun maka dalam kalimat bisa menempati tempat sebagai Subyek atau

B. noun
