Pengertian Participial Phrase
Participial phrase adalah kombinasi antara participle (present atau past participle) dengan complement dan/atau modifier.
Modifier adalah kata, phrase, atau clause yang berfungsi sebagai adverb bagi participle; sementara complement dapat berupa object jika participle merupakan transitive verb.
Contoh Participial Phrase
participle | complement | modifier | participial phrase |
---|---|---|---|
lying | on the couch | lying on the couch | |
baking | sweet potatoes | baking sweet potatoes | |
checking | something | thoroughly | checking something thoroughly |
Penggunaan Participial Phrase
Participle phrase digunakan pada adjective clause dan adverbial clause yang direduksi. Pada reduksi adjective clause, participle digunakan menggantikan relative pronoun dan verb yang direduksi. Present participial phrase digunakan pada reduksi adjective clause active voice, sedangkan past participial phrase pada reduksi adjective clause passive voice. Sedangkan pada reduksi adverbial clause, subject, verb, dan/tanpa conjunction dapat digantikan dengan participle jika subject pada adverbial clause dan independent clause sama.

Posisi dan Tanda Baca pada Kalimat Participial Phrase
Participle atau participial phrase harus diletakkan dekat dengan noun yang diterangkan, baik di depan maupun di belakang kata benda tersebut. Jika participial phrase berada di awal kalimat, comma (koma) harus ditambahkan setelahnya.
Contoh Participial Phrase di Awal Kalimat
- Working in my room, I didn’t let anyone to disturb.
(Bekerja di ruanganku, Aku tidak membiarkan siapa pun menggangu.)
Jika participial phrase berada di tengah kalimat, maka harus diapit oleh comma (,) jika informasi yang dibawanya bersifat non-restrictive/non-defining/non-essential. Artinya, informasi tambahan yang dibawa oleh frasa tersebut bersifat tidak penting dan dapat dihilangkan. Namun jika informasi yang dibawa participial phrase bersifat restrictive/defining/essential, maka koma tidak digunakan. Karena jika dihilangkan, noun yang diterangkan menjadi terlalu general sehingga maksud kalimat sebenarnya tidak tersampaikan.
Contoh Kalimat Restrictive dan Non-Restrictive Participial Phrase
- The table, made of marble, has been repaired.
(Meja tersebut, terbuat dari marmer, telah diperbaiki) non-restrictive - Cats living in the wild may rarely get sick.
(Kucing-kucing yang hidup di alam liar mungkin jarang sakit.) restrictive

makasih kak

Halo Singgih…Bagian mana yang kurang paham? 🙂
Wilmaaa… gw nyasar kesini pas lg nyari-nyari materi :))
kita ketemu di dunia maya :)) miss you
terimakasih banyak ya kak wilma. aku merasa terbantu banget dengan adanya web ini……
sama-sama Adriana..makasih ya feedbacknya.. seneng banget bisa bantu kamu =)
Kurang paham kak.
Bagian yang mana T? 😀
Thank’s alot, it’s helpful 4 my students and I
My pleasure 🙂
I think your example :
Being learnt Math, she turned off the TV. cause& effect (sebab akibat)
needs to be corrected, because being learnt shows passivity which means karena dipelajari. The sentence means she turned off the TV, because she was (being) learned math. I think it should be
Learning math, she turned off the TV.
What do you think?
Yes, you are absolutely right.. It seemed I was sleepy..no synchronization between the adverbial clause and the participial phrase 🙁
I’m sorry for the silly mistake. It’s has been revised..thank you for your correction Bambang 🙂
“Thats good”
