kak mau tanya untuk word order itu bukanya verb mendahului subject ? tapi kok di noun clause justru subject mendahului verb. mohon penjelasnya terima kasih 🙂
Halo Lahul,
Word order normalnya subject mendahului verb Lahul dan direct object setelah verb. Sedangkan inverted word order, verb mendahului subject, antara lain pada:
*conditional clause tanpa if
*declarative sentence yang dimulai dengan negative atau restrictive word seperti: not only, hardly, barely, scarcely, never, rarely, dan no sooner
*wh- question (pertanyaan yang diawali dengan wh- word: what, where, when, why, which, who, whom, whose, atau how) yang menanyakan object
Lihat: https://www.wordsmile.com/pengertian-contoh-kalimat-word-order-inverted
Kalau alasan kenapa noun clause yang main clausenya berupa pertanyaan sedangkan noun clause tidak inverted word order saya belum tahu Lahul. 🙁
Awesome…It’s useful for practicing . Thanks a lot.

Kalau bagian noun prase gimana ka? Terus juga bagian noun clause masih rada bingung ???? terutama penggunaan does, don’t, do, is, are dll
Dan juga, kalau dalam kalimat tsb pakai V1 apakah semua kata kerja (verb) dalam kalimat tsb menggunakan V1 juga?
Terus cara merubah kalimat aktif jadi pasif yang paling rumit ;(
Itu aja ka, maaf kalau banyak :’
Mohon masukkannya
Terima kasih ^^

Yang “penggunaan does, don’t, do, is, are” contoh kalimatnya coba kasih tau Jimmy, dan bingungnya dimana biar bisa saya analisis.
Maksudnya kalo kalimat main verbnya pakai V-1 apa verb dalam noun clause juga pakai V-1 gitu ya? gak kok Jimmy, bisa bervariasi, sudah ada tambahan di halaman ini dan coba lihat https://www.wordsmile.com/aturan-contoh-kalimat-sequence-of-tenses (ada sebagian noun clause).
Aktif jadi pasif yang mana yang buat rumit Jimmy? gerek sini mungkin saya bisa bantu sederhanakan 😀 saya ada buat panduan passive voice di https://www.wordsmile.com/panduan-belajar-passive-voice
