mbak numpang tanya ne? kalau contoh ini kita sesuaikan dengan rumus yg ada,dimanakah letak subject,verb,dan predicatenya?mohon salah satu contoh untuk menunjukkan sesuai dengan rumusnya mbak?terima kasih
Maaf Jimmi saya ada salah tulis tentang predicate itu…ngaco..ngantuk mungkin ya, sudah saya revisi.
Kita ambil contoh: You were sleeping when she arrived.
Untuk predicate, simple predicate itu hanya verb atau compound verb (sama auxiliary verb), jadi simple predicate = were sleeping. Complete predicate itu verb +/- complement (seperti direct object) +/- modifier (dalam hal ini si adverbial tadi), jadi complete predicate = were sleeping when she arrived.
Independent clause (S + V + …)
subject = you
verb = were sleeping
Adverbial clause (subordinate conjunction + S + V + …)
subject = she
verb = arrived
Bila kita lihat secara keseluruhan satu kalimat (Complex sentence) ini polanya = S + V + direct object + adverbial
subject = you
verb = were sleeping
adverbial = when she arrived
Semoga membantu Jimmi..kalo ada yang mau didiskusikan jangan segan-segan ya.
It’s a simple explanation and very helpful for me as a student, thank you..
You’re welcome Nida…wish you success in your studies :)
Nice article :)
But can I ask something?
I’ve found a sentence “Researchers used records on medicare, figuring they were likely to be area residents, not race participants.”
Is “figuring they were …..” a dependent clause?
Is it conditional adverbial clause in that sentence?
Maaf banget Aprilia baru balas :(
Saya pikir itu bukan dependent clause, tapi modifier berupa phrase.
this formula is really useful for me as well
Adjective clause explain noun or pronoun, which adverbial clause explain verb, adjective or adverb.
I have got it. Thank you.

hey wilma,. kalo untuk macam-macam adverbial clause, apakah rumusnya juga sama??
Halo Zahra, maaf baru balas :(
Iya rumusnya sama aja, cuma beda di subordinate conjunction-nya aja :)
Btw maaf yg kmrn itu rumusnya krg lengkap, saya tambahkan rumusnya jadi: subordinate conjunction + S + V +/- … (S + V + … = predicate) –> Tentu aja kalo verb nya merupakan transitive verb butuh Object.
wah, bagus ini “thanks for help” sangat membantu saya dalam memahami stucture :D
thank’s alot Mrs.Wilma Yulia :)
Sama-sama Chan! :)

You’re welcome Pastibisa132 :)
Kalau adverbials of time thu, contoh kata’y apa aja ? Apakah sprti : often,always,usually,etc ?t trmsuk adverb ? Mksh..
Halo Pastibisa132,
Contoh subordinator conjunction untuk adverbial clause of time itu: after, as long as, as soon as, before, since, then, till, until, when, while, dll. Bisa kamu detail dan contohnya kalimatnya di Macam-macam Adverbial Clause atau subordinate conjunction. Tulisannya saya pisah biar gak terlalu panjang.
Kalo often, always, usually itu bagian dari adverb, bukan conjunction, yaitu tepatnya adverb of frequency.
Hope this helps. :)
